Product Description
Tamron offers this world's smallest, most lightweight 28-200mm high magnification zoom lens. With a minimum focal distance over the entire zoom area of 49cm, and a maximum magnification of 1: 4 (at 200mm) this remarkable lens achieves high magnification zoom performance with the compact size of a standard zoom lens. Through XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass and efficient use of aspherical lenses, Tamron has achieved a 25% reduction in size and a 27% reduction in weight over the previous model (Model 371D), along with a decrease in filter diameter by two-steps ?72mm - ?62mm) without compromising the superior image quality characteristic of Tamron 28-200 lenses.Customer reviews
Great all around lens for Pentax K mount
I purchased this lens for traveling with my Pentax digital bodies. It's a great alternative to carrying a bunch of lenses when traveling. The trade off for the versatility is the mecahanics at times. Instead of being a master on one focal range, it's the jack of all trades. It has a very difficult time focusing quickly, especially with a filter on the lens. AF is slow on this lens.
good value
Got this lense for my K100D. The price seems right and the pictures look good enough for me. No problem so far other than the telephoto is a bit tight.
My review of the Tamron Autofocus Aspherical Lens
I am very happy with this product. Shortly after receiving the lens I used it on a road trip from Anchorage to Valdez. The temperatures were in the negatives, but the skies were clear and the views gorgeous. The lense worked wonderfully and I have fantastic pictures of my family and scenery to prove it. This lense is my general lense of choice for most of my photography. For someone on a budget like myself, this was the perfect lense.
