The first thing that jumps to the eye is the enormous versatility that can offer a focal range of the genre, passing from a discreet wide angle to a tele quite important. From the focal point of view, therefore, I find the 18-200 absolutely complete if the need is just to travel with one lens or simply if you want to start with photography and want to better understand which focal you prefer to use, then maybe Aim at higher performing objectives (fixed or zoom, depending on the quality/price you want to achieve). Conversely, as it is also normal for a superzoom like this, the optical quality for strength suffers, showing loss of sharpness that already from the 80-100mm are visible and worsen gradually up to 200. Even the chromatic aberrations, particularly with the very contrasting scenes, appear particularly evident. The Autofocus has an acceptable speed, not as fast as a USM but not as slow as the traditional Tamron AF (see that of the 17-50); My specimen has no problems of front/back focus offering a very high precision, even if sometimes, in scenes poorly contrastate, it is a lot of effort to fuocheggiare, forcing the manual focus. I Add that the excursion of the MF ring is not too high, so it takes some dexterity to peck the perfect fire in manual; Finally, the focus is internal, so it does not rotate the front lens, for the benefit of using a circular polarizing filter. The overall build quality, given the price, does not seem bad at all: although it is probably all plastic returns the same a feeling of robustness and for now I do not highlight games or pieces "shaky". Very nice Aesthetics, worded only by the dust that tends to accumulate visibly on the rubberized ring of the zoom, being very wide. The Lens hood, as in all Tamron lenses, is supplied. Available at the moment, Polyphoto warranty 10 years. Just bought at the beginning I was sick, too disappointed by the optical quality that does not even in the slightest competes with the other lenses I had (especially with the fixed or even the Tamron 17-50 smooth). But Then I decided to continue photographing without worrying about the quality, but simply... Photographing. And there I was able to fully appreciate the strength of this lens, which allows you to eliminate-perhaps almost completely-the time factor/hassle/encumbrance of carrying around and replace other objectives, which would risk blocking in starting a particular Shot. Once we have entered into this type of reasoning, I believe that this is a lens from which the maximum was pulled out, maintaining a low price, so I recommend the purchase. sent on March 27, 2019 |
