Product Description
Product Description
Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
From the Manufacturer
Tamron's original development of proprietary core technologies such as Aspherical element production, Multiple Cam Mechanism and Integrated Focus Cam design lend to the creation of the world's lightest, most compact 11x zoom lens made for digital SLR cameras.
Di II
Lenses are designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-size imagers and inherit all of the benefits of our Di products. These lenses are not designed for conventional cameras and digital cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm.
Extra Refractive Index Glass (XR)
Extra Refractive Index (XR) glass can bend light rays at steeper angles, thereby decreasing the physical length of the lens while enhancing imaging performance by minimizing optical aberrations. This has allowed Tamron to develop a line of shorter, smaller-diameter, lighter lenses without sacrificing lens speed, and actually upgrading image quality compared to older designs. XR glass is costlier than conventional glass but it yields enhanced optical power distribution, making possible many of the outstanding and innovative lens designs that bear the XR designation. XR glass, with its superior light-bending power, makes it possible to design a short-barrel lens with the same light-gathering ability (aperture value) as a long-barrel lens—even with a smaller lens diameter. By using this principle Tamron has been able to shorten the length of the entire optical system and produce lighter, more compact lenses of the same speed, and also to provide greater zoom ranges in lenses that are much more convenient to carry by hand.
Low Dispersion (LD)
Low dispersion (LD) glass elements in a lens help reduce chromatic aberration; the tendency of light of different colors to come to different points of focus at the image plane. Chromatic aberration reduces the sharpness of an image, but glass with an extremely lowdispersion index, has less of a tendency to separate (defract) a ray of light into a rainbow of colors. This characteristic allows the lens designer to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration at the center of the field (on axis), a particular problem at long focal lengths (the telephoto end of the zoom range), and for lateral chromatic aberration (towards the edges of the field) that often occurs at short focal lengths (the wide-angle end of the zoom range.)
Internal Focus (IF)
Internal focusing (IF) provides numerous practical benefits to photographers including a non-rotating front filter ring that facilitates the positioning of polarizing and graduated filters, and more predictable handling because the lens length does not change during focusing. Even more important, Tamron’s Internal Focusing (IF) system provides a much closer minimum focusing distance (MFD) throughout its entire focusing range. In addition, IF improves optical performance by minimizing illumination loss at the corners of the image field, and helps to suppress other aberrations that become more troublesome at different focusing positions.
Zoom Lock
Another original Tamron mechanical engineering concept is the Zoom Lock (ZL), a simple convenience feature that prevents undesired extension of the lens barrel when carrying the camera/lens unit on a neck strap.

1. Has distance scale not on kit lens.
2. Much heavier, but allows for steadier shooting. With care and steadying arm on fixed object I can take sharp picture at 1/8 sec at 200 mm maybe 50% of time.
3. Focusing is accurate, but somewhat slower with more hunting than kit lens. I have taken good pictures of birds in flight at 200 mm, so this is not a problem in good light.
4. Focusing in live view using contrast autofocus is "very" slow, but very accurate. It's useful on a tripod, but slower than 18-55 kit lens using kx camera.
5. No in-camera lens correction as with Pentax lenses. Of course you can do this in post processing. The in-camera processing is slow anyhow.
6. Does not support "catch in focus" where you can take a picture automatically when moving object comes in set prefocus distance. Can't do this with kit lens either. Lens needs auto/manual focus switch for this to work.
7. Very noisy manual focus. This is quite evident when taking movies where manual focus is only choice. Kit lens has little noise when manually focusing. If you take movies and change distance (must refocus) mid-movie, you will not be happy with this lens for that purpose.
8. Focus does not change appreciably when zooming, so you can manually focus at 200 mm, then zoom out while maintaining focus. This might be important when taking movies.
I gave perfect rating not because lens is perfect, but because it is nearly so for its intended use. It's not for professionals, not particular good for movies (focus noise), but is a much better choice for amateurs than having an 18-55 and a 55-200 and having to switch from one to the other. Picture quality is just as good, it is far more convenient, and it appears as well or better made, and it does not cost that much more. If you buy one and do not find this so, send it to Tamron and in around 3 weeks you will get it back better than new.
This les is not expensive (less than $200), and as a extra benefit it include a tulip light cover, this prevent unwanted light coming into the lens, and prevent the lens to be hitten by any object.
Some people have concern about the focus speed, and my experience with this is that the speed is fast enought for the all the mayor needs, it is important to mention that the differece between this lens and the $2,000 competitors is less than a second. Then, this lens is a great value item for your camera.
About the lens focus in low light I dont have any problem, because in low light condition it is suppose that you will use flash, because this is not a extreme Hi Aperture lens (3.5-6.5 aperture), then if you plan to use flahs you will have the modeling light from the flash, and this will help you to focus, or you can use manual focus. This is not a exclusive situation for this lens, because all the lens with the same aperture has similar situations, some more, some less, but remember, this is a less than $200 lens.
For me it is important to keep in mind, we need to evaluate the items in their category and levels. however, this lens is bether than others more expensive levels. I have Canon 70-300mm and Tamron 28-200mm, and Tamrom 28-90mm. and the traditional Canon 18-55mm, for me, this is the better one, because the image quality and the hability to have all the other lens in just one lens.
As final i can say that you may think about your lens need, because if yor are only a Hobbie or entry or Mid Level photographer, maybe you dont need a Hi End lens, but if you makes photo sessions for $2,000, then it has sense that you buy accesories acording to your service offered.
