Product details

The new 18-200mm VC All-in-One lens features a modern optical and mechanical design. It is equipped with an integrated image stabilisation (VC, Vibration Compensation), has a compact design and weighs
only 400 grams, making it, according to Tamron, the lightest travel zoom lens in its class (as of August 2015). Great flexibility from wide-angle to supertele range in one lens. A zoom range from 18 to 200 mm (35 mm equivalent: 28 to 310 mm) makes changing the lens superfluous in most cases. Photographers can zoom from wide-angle to supertele. The new Tamron 1:3.5-6.3/18-200mm Di II VC is therefore suitable for a wide variety of shooting purposes - from large group photos to family snapshots to portrait shots, from landscape and wildlife photography to sports and school events. Close-ups are also possible thanks to the shortest shooting distance of less than 50 centimetres. Despite the large focal length range and the integrated VC image stabilizer (not with the Sony connection), the new 18-200mm VC weighs only 400 grams. Even when used with the latest APS-C DSLRs, the lens offers balanced balance and comfortable handling. The VC image stabilizer developed by Tamron reduces motion blur and allows beginners to take sharp pictures in difficult situations. The newly developed autofocus focuses on the subject much faster and works almost silently. The optical construction consists of 16 elements in 14 groups. An LD element (Low Dispersion) minimizes color fringes (chromatic aberrations). The seven aperture slats form an almost circular opening, even when the lens is dimmed by two steps. Light points outside the focus area thus blur into attractive background blur (bokeh effect). Tamron's new travel zoom is splash-proof, providing protection against water splashes and light rain. In addition, a practical zoom lock is integrated, which prevents the lens barrel from extending unintentionally during transport.

Das Gesamtergebnis fällt bei diesem Objektiv zwar nicht erstklassig aus, doch am Ende reicht es noch für das gute Bewertungsniveau. Am meisten Punkte kosten dabei die mäßige Verzeichnung und die lediglich ausreichende Leistung bei Falschlicht. Ansonsten findet man allerdings kaum Mängel in Bezug auf die Bildqualität, alle anderen Aspekte werden mit guten bis sehr guten Bewertungen ausgezeichnet...
