Review Tamron Autofocus 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras 
Buy Cheap Tamron Autofocus 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras From Here Now!The Tamron AF18-200mm high power zoom lens features an entirely new optical design using XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass in an innovative way in order to optimize the overall distribution of optical power throughout the entire zoom range. This design reduces various aberrations to the absolute minimum and achieves remarkable downsizing at the same time. In addition, three hybrid aspherical lens elements and two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements are used to accomplish effective compensation of on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations, a critical factor to enhance the optical quality in digital photography. As a result, the lens provides outstanding optical quality in a multi-purpose zoom lens. A glare-reducing flower-shaped lens hood is included as a standard accessory. The special hood provides optimum shading of superfluous light rays that enter from the rectangular frame outside the image field. It employs a new optical system designed to confine the changing angles of incidences of light rays reaching the imager within a certain scope over the entire image field from the center to the periphery, by considering the effects of variances due to zooming. Complicated mechanisms are built in the compact body thanks to new mechanical artifices. The lens is a multi-purpose zoom lens, yet excellent portability and ease of use are assured. A number of invisible engineering innovations required to downsize the lens, produce high precision parts and increase durability are incorporated in the new AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO

- Since the lens is designed exclusively for digital SLR photography, it provides high image quality in terms of resolution, contrast and flatness of image field
- It employs a new optical system designed to confine the changing angles of incidences of light rays reaching the imager within a certain scope over the entire image field from the center to the periphery, by considering the effects of variances due to zooming
- Peripheral light fall-off is minimized when compared with that of conventional lenses for film cameras so that images are uniformly bright from the center to the periphery
- Complicated mechanisms are built in the compact body thanks to new mechanical artifices. The lens is a multi-purpose zoom lens, yet excellent portability and ease of use are assured. A number of invisible engineering innovations required to downsize the lens, produce high precision parts and increase durability are incorporated in the new AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO

"Love it" 2009-08-19
By Benson
I purchased this lens about 3 months ago for my Nikon D200 because I was tired of changing lens. I am getting sharpest pictures from it as I am getting from my Nikon 18-105mm lens. This is an all in one lens. I went to vacation with it and I was able to take a lot pictures easily by zooming in and out. It zooms well and I was able to capture a picture of small flying aircraft about 1000 feet up in the air clearly. No more lens changing needed. When in low light, it does have some problems focusing. The only way I found to correct that issue is change your position then it should focus. I have been using SLR cameras for about 9 years but I am not a professional photographer. So you should not take this review as a professional advice.
"Not The Best Working Lens" 2008-12-06
By Tracy Simmons (NW Louisiana)
When I purchased my D80 2 years ago Tamron lens came with it, so I decided I would purchase their 18-200mm lens because I NEVER had problems.(I purchased the lens in October 2008.}Most of the time I leave the settings on auto. I went to a hockey game and that is when it happened. The camera would not take a photo. On the menu the F stop would show "F - -" and the flash icon was blinking. I could not believe this was happening. Well I sent it back for a replacement. After I got the replacement from Amazon, I was going to take pictures of my nices soccer game and guess what happned. Yes it happened again. I did read my manual and the "F - -" means there is not lens or the lens is not attached. I have not found anything on the internet of anyone else having this problem. I have updated the firmware on the camera. It worked fine for a while. The last time that this happened I unattached the lens then attached it back and it worked. I do plan on contacting Tamron. I am glad it has a 6 year warranty. It does take some great pictures. My instructor says "Its not the camera that takes a bad pictures its the person taking the photo". I do hope that one else has had the same problem.
"Good Range...but...no Image Stability and Plastic build" 2008-05-29
By B. Weiss (USA)
Good zoom range and price...but no Image Stabilizer, and made from plastic. The pros are that it is half the price of Canon lens, and a good all-in-one lends. Rather than carry two lens (e.g. 18-85 and 70-200)this lens is a good wide angle plus walk around plus zoom all-in-one. Cons is that the glass is not comparable to mid-line Canon lens; the plastic body allows dust to collect under the glass; Image Stabilizer is needed (esp. for travel); a metal body is needed for durability (esp during travel). That said, what this lens has going for it: its price, it's range, and its decent output quality. A worthwhile lens for those with discerning budget and photos needs.

Having used Tamron zoom on my Nikon N80 , I was already familiar with brand and features. Macro is very useful. A really good lens, especially if you don't like carrying around a whole bag of lenses ! Very versatile.
