Pros: Very affordable price with long-long life guarantee (the one taken from me 10 years polyphoto), lightness, more than good optical rendering. Very good stabilization and very natural rendering of the colours, all in only 400 grams and with an enviable range of focal lengths in just over 10 cm.

Cons: At long focal lengths and with scarcity of light you have to go up ISO. Plastic bayonet.

Opinion: My considerations are expressed considering, of course, the excellent price-quality ratio and are therefore not to be taken as absolute value. First of all the construction with a good assembly and the materials that do not give the sensation of having a toy between the hands: the zoom extends quite fluidly from 18 to 135 with a single slight forcing from 135 to get to 200, but I think with the use tent to SCO Mparire, and once extended completely, it maintains extremely stable without games. Frankly, from new, the lock button at 18mm I guess I will never use it. The plastic nozzle, joins perfectly with the body and also here there are no games and the whole is well balanced (I tried it on a body Nikon D 7200) and I think that the best coupling of this lens is with entry level bodies of Nikon series 3000 and 500 0 with medium-high pixel density for holidays with reduced baggage or for generalistic use. The focus, I was really surprised, quick and accurate with just a slight buzz when going over 2-3 meters up to infinity while it is almost silent at short distances. Precise that I used the MAF with the center point and was found accurate and without hesitation already at the first attempt; Then I inserted in the traectory towards the focus, disturbing elements but, always using the center point, I got subjects in focus without any front-back focus. The optical yield is more than good at the shorter focal lengths even at relatively large and medium openings with a slight penalization of the extreme areas that disappear by diaphragming at F 8 and thus continue up to 135 mm without substantial sagging. To obtain an optimum yield at 200 you have to close further up to F 11-16 and the yield is still good. At 18 there are barrel distortions, visible species with geometric subjects, but unexpectedly smaller than those generated by much more expensive and emblazoned even-range optics (an example for all the Nikkor 18-200), while going up with the focal lengths and moving from Medium wide-angle medium telephoto they change of sign and decrease, so that in the use not "architectural" barely see themselves. The fall of light at the edges, is present but never very high, especially at the medium-long focal lengths and the parasitic reflections and the flashes, with the help of the lens hood and a prudent framing, can be well managed as not excessive. In short, I find this lens very successful and suitable for short trips outside the door or when you go wandering to photograph without precise purpose or for the holidays without having the mood to bring the equipment on the beach because of sand or mountain for the weights and excessive clutter.

Pros: Price / quality ratio, focal range, flare resistance, good color rendering, stabilizer.

Cons: Little bright and is not the utmost of sharpness but given the price there may be, MAF weak with little light.

Opinion: Discrete optics from 18 to 55/60 mm, then suffices. It is a good substitute for the Canon standard zoom as optical and mechanical quality as well as to have always available an economical teleconference that still works dignitously. If you're paired with a wide-angle zoom, maybe the Canon 10-18mm Canon, with two goals and a small expense, cover almost all the shooting needs. Effective MAF but with low light goes into trouble and sometimes forces it to focus in manual. The assembly is good even though it's all plastic, including bayonet. The hood is understated, effective but lightweight. There are better similar optics, but on the level of the price-quality ratio this makes its shape and allows you to get some satisfaction without feeling faint. Recommended considering its limits, I'm happy even though over time I will definitely go to something more powerful, maybe by taking a "standard" bright and good quality zoom and then a zoomed, brighter canvas zoom. Inso I have fun with this!

Pros: Cost, lightness, focal length

Cons: Slow for sporty shots, and in low light conditions

Opinion: I bought it to increase my beginner's endowment after reading Juzza's other reviews and comparing the sigma.rn I used to take photo shots during an automobile event, it turned out to be slow, both in focus automatic, both in the click.rnIt has been remedied by the problem, using the manual focus, focused on a passing point of the cars and anticipating a few seconds. rn

Pros: Compact, light, zoom range, lens hood, silent AF, quality / price ratio

Cons: AF a bit 'slower in low light conditions, slight drop in quality at the edges wide open at the extreme focal lengths (diaphragm but just a little ...)

Opinion: I this objective from a few days in place of 18-135 Canon that, apart from dust, had started to give me problems because to 18 mm. She reads to me instead of a focal length of 44 mm. and an aperture of f max. 5.0 instead of 3.5! The Tamron I find it a more incisive sleeping at all focal lengths than my old Canon 18-135, even at extreme focal where, however, suffers a bit in TA, as do the 18-135 Canon .. but just diaphragm to f. 5.0 to 18 mm. and f. 8.0 to 200 mm, and the problem goes away; AF and stabilizer instead they seem equivalent but less noisy Canon. It 'a decent all-rounder at a fairly affordable price You will not miss the all-rounder of the parent. In addition, compared to my old 18-135 Canon he has the serial lens hood and a closer macro position, even if only slightly. The front lens does not rotate whereby it is possible to mount a polarizer without problems. I took it as a travel goal, when you want to go light, and as a lens to events when it is useful to document a manifestazione and you do not have the time or the opportunity to be changing any lens or there is no space to move around and get different angles and shots.

Pros: Versatility, portability, cost / quality ratio

Cons: the focus speed, stabilizer (sometimes) inaccurate

Opinion: I state that I am a beginner, so I have not (yet) the sensitivity to evaluate the finest technical details. I purchased it to have a handyman to take me around, after noting that even in fairly normal situations the Nikon 55-300 was too long and 18-55 in kit was too corto.rnPagato € 180 when new, l ' I intentionally used as a single lens for all holidays (giving up to 35 and 55-300). As far as I can assess it's a great all-rounder, you mount it once and do not pull it further down, light enough to be easy to handle (light is not a feather, but there is) .rnIo I can only compare it with the lenses I already have, and clearly is a bit 'less immediate nell'autofocus than the Nikkor 55-300. I noticed (I do not know if I'm the only one) that sometimes the viewfinder image "snaps", and moving and reconnect; it would seem a defect of the stabilizer (so far I can not go wrong and it's not a fault of my only) .rnNelOverall a good lens that keep whipped "by default" when I do not have specific a priori requirements.

Pros: Do everything perfect, stabilized and more than decent. Well done and lightweight

Cons: dark .... but it is a "handyman"

Opinion: I sold my old Nikon 18 135 to have a little more zoom and stabilizer. I must say that despite many can define a "bottle bottom" plays just fine the functions for which it was designed. Paid 229 euro, allows me to have a wide range of use, it is not bad even for portraits with a pleasant boket. The stabilizer compensates for 'openness that he lacks. On D7100 no sticker and is also sharper, much more than you might think. At the end we say that in decent lighting conditions brilliantly carry out their work at sunset .... it undermines .... tripod or iso .. Overall I would recommend it for its performance and versatility and compromise with price.

Pros: Light, solid, good to 200mm, cost, stabilizer exceptionally quiet motor

Cons: Definitional problems to 18mm

Opinion: The picture quality is generally, in my opinion (which are definitely a beginner), soddisfacente.rnLo stabilizer is a truly excellent job. A 200mm they are able to get clear images free hand in all conditions. rnL'autofocus is fast and fairly accurate although sometimes you have to re-press the shutter button for a "reading" more accurata.rnrnSembra who suffer in 18mm or so as they do not manage to have clear images in any way. I do not know if it is flawed but mine is not the first time I hear of this problem. We do not perceive any details in focus and almost the entire image seems to me very good micromossa.rnrnSecondo instead for the rest of the focal length improving As you get closer to 200.rnrnConfrontandolo with pictures taken with the Nikon 18-200 that costs 3 times as much in my opinion it's all much more than acceptable.
