Bought this lens last week for my beater camera, an EOS 2000D. So far I love it. It's good enough for its price (177 EUR all in!!). Built quality is fine. Sharpness is acceptable (I shoot RAW) and AF seems to work ok (need some more testing to properly judge it). I have much more expensive lenses, but they don't render so much better images that justify the high prices. For occasional snapshots this lens blows every iPhone away.

I've just ordered one of this and I'm waiting to be delivered. Taking into consideration that now I'm using a kit lens (Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 III) with no stabilization I believe this lens is going to be a good upgrade for me. Hi tehere! New update. I've changed my camera also, Canon eos 77d, and I used my Tamron 18-200mm. I have good results with this lens for the moment.

Thanks for the video! I'm a bit late, haha. Retired builder in the us. Beautiful building! So on with this, I have often surmised that the reason lenses are not as sharp in the corners as the center, has to do with DOF and that the distance from the corners are greater from the camera than the center. I do realize optical engineers take this into consideration, but projection of a flat surface through a curved lens back to a flat film plane has a lot to do with math. By stopping down the lens, the depth of field is increased, as you know. I'm posting this to help new photographers understand a little more of the optical chain. Fortunately, as of this date 2024, most lens problems are taken care of by modern in camera processors and some great AI photo apps like sharpness and chromatic aberration. Some apps can make a very cheap lens look great with little knowledge by the user. Thanks again!

The issue with this type of lens is lens sample variation, you can get two samples and get two very different results, I had two samples of the original Tamron 18-200 back in 2005, the first one was nice and sharp, the second was very soft, I recently got hold of a sample of the Tamron 18-200 VC and find it quite nice, not as sharp as some but definitely better then the one reviewed here...
@christopherfrost
@christopherfrost 6 жыл бұрын
You're probably imagining things when you say your sample was 'better' - test it properly and empirically, and then you'll know for sure. Either way, if Tamron's quality control is as bad as you're suggesting then...that's their problem!
@stephenpartridge686
@stephenpartridge686 6 жыл бұрын
Oh ok, the difference between samples that I've seen is HUGE, definitely not an imagination, even the manager of the store also noticed the differences between 3 examples of the Tamron 18-270, I've also noticed differences between samples of L series lenses, less then the differences between Tamron samples though......

Like I said, if their quality control is really that bad, then that's their problem, not mine. I'm not going to spends weeks and weeks sourcing out dozens of copies of the same camera lens to give people a probability about how sharp a lens they buy may or may not be. No lens reviewer has time for that - and certainly not me

As a photo novice, I am finding your reviews helpful and informative. I just wish that I had read this particular review before purchasing! This lens does seem 'soft' which I find quite frustrating. It seems to perform best in terms of sharpness with an aperture of F8 or F10 - even then not as good as my Fuji bridge camera. Until reading your review, I thought that maybe I had a faulty copy. I am now trying to decide if I should sell it and upgrade - or maybe it's still worth using it for shots where sharpness isn't so crtical. Any advice? Although not directly comparable, a friend lent me his cheap Tamron 70-300mm (macro) to try, which seems sharper at the same focal lengths than the 18-200. So I am wondering if it's the zoom factor of 11x for the 18-200mm that poses a limitation for overall sharpness? (the 70-300mm having a smaller zoom factor of just 4x ). Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Regarding the zoom ring getting loose, I had a Tamron 18-270mm before it met its end on some concrete from about 6 foot up...anyway zoom creep was really significant after around 6 months. For the price though, I was very happy with it even though us Sony users do not get the in-lens V-C option since a-mount bodies have their own stabiliser. I'm now using the 16-300mm and loving it! Its quite an upgrade over the 18-270mm in terms of both build and image quality.

I have been looking for an all rounder lens for my Canon SL3. I think Canons 18-135 would be a better choice. The auto focusing is instant and silent. You are losing out on a bit of zoom, but I think 135mm is still a pretty long zoom rang. It is also like $200 more but I guess you're paying more for the brand and the USM tech.

Dear Sir, I am currently looking for an all purpose lens like this for my APS-C DX Nikon D5300 and thus have come across this video. I have a question however. I have this Tamron 18-200 and the Nikkor 18-140g lens on my radar. Which would be a better choice. Will it be the TAMRON which is providing a better reach at 200mm at the longer end or the Nikon one which I presume is better in terms of sharpness and image quality ? If that is the case , how far does this Tamron lie behind the Nikkor lens in terms of image quality ?

Hi Chris, I’m just a new beginner just bought a Canon SL2 / 200D - want to buy an all in one lens Tamron 18-200 or sigma 18-200 ? Both your videos seems not encouraging, any final or other suggestions?

I'd get the Canon 18-135 STM or 15-85mm USM

Which could be a better option for a beginner photographer, Buying an 18-200 mm lens or buying a 70-300 mm lens along with a 0.43x wide-angle zoom lens attachment? Consider the budget to be limited.

Hello Chris I have a Canon 18-135 mm lens I use on my 60D I am looking for a lens with an equivalent focal range (28-216mm) for use on a 5D is there anything you could recommend?
@christopherfrost
@christopherfrost 8 жыл бұрын
Nothing I can seriously recommend except the Canon 24-105 f/4 IS USM 'L'. I haven't really tried anything with much more zoom range on full-frame, except the Canon 28-135 and I didn't really like it

You can't be serious...if you're joking then that's very funny, if you're not, then you need to put the brakes on everything and look at what lens options you have for that particular camera

Newegg had this on sale with a Nikon mount for $99 (now sold out, sorry) so I snagged it. I hope it's better or at least as good as my kit lens, so I can leave it in the closet and my 55-200mm at home unless I know I'm shooting only at 200mm, then use my 35mm prime lens when I want the best image quality close up. I'm by no means a pro photographer obviously. That said I'd probably not have bought it if it was $250, but for $99 with free shipping it was hard to pass up.

I bought the lens 2 years ago. While not the best lens I am happy with the results I get. I use it on a Canon T3 and some issues like chromatic aberration is easily corrected in post. Overall I like the lens. I am a hobbyist photographer, been one for 40 years and have used it for various types of photography. My overall result for my satisfaction is that the lens does well.
