Tamron Does It Again

by   libragirlsc ,  Sep 28, 2007
Pros: Cost, Sharpness, Hood Included, Range Covered. Fast Focus, No searching
Cons: Would be awesome at f2.8 like the 28-75, but still an awesome lens!
The Bottom Line: For the range covered, quality, low price and added hood, you can't beat this lens.
Review: Note - There are two different versions of this lens, the f3.5-6.3 that we are reviewing here and one that starts with a f3.8 (it's a cheaper version). When I was researching this lens I found that many were calling the f3.8, the f3.5 version so make ...

A good Travel zoom at a reasonable price

by   captaincrash ,  Dec 30, 2005
Pros: Huge 18-200 focal range; fast focus; very compact and light; 6 year warranty
Cons: Purists criticize it but I can't see any significant defects in my images; bland style
The Bottom Line: It is a bargain all-in-one 11x zoom. More than reasonable quality and performance. Doing better requires huge expense with several Canon lenses. I can't complain for the money!
Review: Let me begin by saying I am not as technical as the 1st reviewer so this is a bit of a subjective laymans' opinion. I had an old heavily used Canon 28-200 that was decent but showing some age since it did not zoom very smoothly. I guess I could have ...

Tamron XR Di 18-200 lens

by   skack ,  Mar 15, 2007
Pros: Lots of zoom, Fast focus, Quality glass.
Cons: None.
Review: This is a great lens for the money. When I bought this I didn't want to drop the cash required to get a similar Canon USM lens. I have taken several thousand photos with this lens and have not had a hitch. It focuses fast to catch shots before they ...

One of the best travel lens on the market today.

by   truelyyours ,  Feb 17, 2006
Pros: One good all around lens.
Cons: The image quality can not compete with that of those fixed focal lens.
Review: The wide zoom range 18-200mm, the small size, light weight, the reasonable price and an acceptable image quality make it one of the best travel lens on the market today. I find myself travel solely with this lens instead of Minolta 24-105, Tamron ...

good backup lens

by   mmtphoto ,  Jul 8, 2006
Pros: Good all around lens, fast focus, light weight
Cons: zoom ring takes getting used to, should come with a pouch
Review: i shoot with d200's and have XD 18-70mm lens on one and a 18-200 VR on the other-I use D70S for backups and have 2, one with a Nikon 55-200 XD and the other has this 28-200 mm Tamron XR-this lens gets a decent amount of work, and is small for what it can ...

Aberrations galore, though at least it focuses correctly.

by   tcchou71 ,  Aug 16, 2005
Pros: Focuses accurately on my camera, unlike Sigma 18-200.
Cons: Optically poor, even when compared to the (cheaper) Sigma 18-200.
The Bottom Line: I prefer the Sigma 18-200, due to its better optics. However, neither of these 11x zooms is optically as good as lenses with less range.
Review: This lens has a very convenient focal length range for digital SLRs. Its design is based on the very popular Tamron 28-300mm lens for film cameras (and full-frame digital cameras). But this convenience comes at a significant optical sacrifice - this ...

Convenient and Reasonable Results

by   bebop1 ,  Jun 22, 2005
Pros: Convenience (not to be underestimated) Feels/works well Looks great - nice travel lens
Cons: Average performance Only magnifies to 150mm, not 200mm as Tamron claims
Review: Credible results for such a convenient lens, but at 200mm it only matches 150mm of my other tele-zooms. Think of it as an 18-150mm (or 27-225mm equivalent). The Sigma 18-200mm is more like 18-135mm - simple tests comfirm this. The Tamron feels and looks ...

OK lens if you need the versatility

by   eduj ,  Sep 21, 2006
Pros: Versatile, great for travel.
Cons: Sharpness of images, sometimes hard for it to autofocus.
Review: I had one of these for a short time. I was not satisfied with the focus speed or the sharpness I could achieve. I chose this over the equivalent Sigma after many recommendations from different stores - but reviews on the web are mixed. The range makes ...

Great Concept but Poorly Executed

by   sobelman ,  Sep 21, 2005
Pros: Very fast auto focus. Quality construction, and good warranty. Perfect focal length range.
Cons: Very soft. An 8MP camera won't compensate for a lens that is not sharp.
Review: I bought this lens while on a trip to New York. It looked like it had a perfect range for a walk around lens. My other Tamron Lens (11-18mm) works great, so I took a chance. After seeing the pictures on a computer, and comparing with another zoom lens ...
