Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Good Lens for the General Photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
The Tamron 18-200 lens is able to perform at a level exptected for this make and model of lens. The all plastic construction is firm, grip is good, well damped and light in weight. The lock button to prevent zoom creep is a nice feature but not really necessary. The hood is adequate.
Pros: Light in weight. Fast auto-focus in daylight. A good consumer all-in-one lens that can do almost anything. Macro works well in bright light.
Cons: Auto-focus hesitation in macro mode. At 200mm, satisfactory sharpness at f6.3, excellent sharpness at f 11 and beyond. Does not hold up against dust (keep it covered, in a case, or under a jacket when walking around. Dust gets into the internal barrel of the lens). Lens can get out of alignment if the lens gets banged around, and not made for abusive photographic conditions. Using the built in camera flash at 18mm (without the hood attached) will darken the lower portion of the picture.
Tips: When you get the lens, immediately put on a 62mm UV filter to protect the front lens element. Finger prints not removed carefully can damage the coating. Get a case that will fit the camera with lens attached to minimize shock when walking or hiking. DO NOT switch lenses if you don't have to. This will minimize the dust that may enter the camera chamber. Use the lens hood.
This is a good all in one lens for the non-professional. Good for family shots as well as "soccer moms" wanting to capture the action. Tamron has a good warranty and has good customer support. I'd suggest that after a year or so of use (or within warranty), have the lens checked by Tamron to realign and make necessary adjustments. I had the older Tamron for over 10 years with the film Canon and it has held up very well. It was sent to Tamron for alighment during the warranty period and worked better than new.
This is an excellent lens for the Canon Digital Rebel. It compliments the camera by having a light weight all-in-one lens that will cover most photographers. If you are a serious or professional photographer (or own a Canon D20, D30, etc.) and if your budget allows, you might want to consider the Canon L lenses which has more exacting tolerances, seals against dust, and can handle the abuse.
Tamron makes a good lens. Shop for the best price.
