## Description

AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] Macro. High focal range zoom with great price/performance ratio Thanks to its high focal range, this 18-200mm lens is a flexible zoom suitable for all shooting situations. Especially when travelling, its exceptional compactness and lightness are particularly satisfactory. From wide angle to telephoto lens, you can successfully tackle most photographic situations with this lens. The 18-200mm Di II lens is part of the best tradition of the legendary Tamron megazoom range, with an 11.1x zoom factor and a focal length equivalent to that of a 28-300mm lens for full frame cameras. The 18-200mm Di II uses the innovative XR (Extra Refractive) glass with a high refractive index to optimize optical performance across the entire focal range. Its optical design reduces aberrations to minimal levels, while allowing for a more compact construction. In addition, three hybrid aspherical elements were used to minimize spherical aberration, while two low-dispersion glass elements LD (Low Dispersion) were used to compensate for chromatic aberration. The result is a versatile zoom with stunning optical quality. It achieves a magnification ratio of 1:3.7, so it is even suitable for macro shooting, with a minimum focusing distance of only 45cm. Experience this zoom with performance in relation to its class and also fantastic price/performance ratio. Remember that Di II lenses are designed for use exclusively on DSLR cameras that have image sensors less than 24mm x 16mm. The Di II lenses cannot therefore be used with full-format DSLRs or 35 mm analog, because they do not cover the entire useful field of these cameras and thus cause the peripheral areas of the image to darken (i.e. a vignetting would be visible). Megazoom Megazoom class lenses allow you to tackle a huge number of subjects. Megazooms offer focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto lens, making it the ideal choice in most photographic situations. Due to their high flexibility, compact size and low weight, these lenses are especially suitable for everyday use as a "all-rounder" but also when travelling, during activities where it is not possible to carry a complete kit with you or for large families who usually move with a myriad of luggage. Click on the image to enlarge Features and Functions LD (Low Dispersion) Glass Elements LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements inside the lens help minimize chromatic aberration, i.e. the tendency of light of different colors to focus at different distances in the image plane. Chromatic aberration reduces image sharpness, but lenses with an extremely low dispersion index have a less tendency to separate (diffrange) a ray of light into a rainbow of colors. This feature allows designers to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration in the center of the image, a particularly noticeable problem at higher focal lengths (the tele end of the zoom excursion), and lateral chromatic aberration (near the edges of the field framed) which often occurs with shorter focal lengths (the wide-angle end of the zoom excursion). Additional product features XR Glass (Extra Refractive Index) Special glass with a particularly high refractive index for better performance and a more compact lens structure. ASL Aspherical hybrid elements ensure unparalleled image quality and compactness. Internal focus (IF) Allows you to maintain the length of the lens while focusing. It also allows you to obtain a considerably shorter minimum focusing distance across the full range of focal lengths offered by the zoom. Zoom Lock Device (ZL) Prevents unwanted stretching of the lens barrel.

Review: Just received this lens last Thursday, so far it is very satisfactory. I am a grand mother of eight and most of my pictures are action shots of the children. The lens is great at 18mm, picks are clear and sharp. Towards the 200mm length, pictures are clear but a little soft if there is not enough ambient light indoors. Outdoors in a sunny situation, all focal lengths were good.. Overall for the price, this has been one of the better purchases for a telephoto lens. The focusing time at the longer focal length is fast considering the versatility of the lens.
Review: Great price and works great on my Nikon
