Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC Verdict
The Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC lens performs very well indeed, especially at the centre and is punching way above its weight in many areas. It has high central sharpness, low CA, low flare and an incredibly low price. There are performance compromises, as mentioned throughout this review, but for anyone wanting an inexpensive, versatile holiday or travel lens this is terrific value for money. Add the bonus of the VC system and it is difficult not to be impressed.
