Open Box with All Original Accessories. Picture this. Or maybe just out traveling on your own. After all, Tamron is the pioneer in lightweight, compact, high-power zoom lenses that are as easy and fun as being on vacation. At last, a lens that has what it takes to capture what you see.
The Tamron AF XR Di [IF] Macro MF lens is a compact, lightweight camera lens for Canon cameras that offers consistent image quality through all settings. A 28-200 mm f/3.8-5.6 lens produces both wide angle and long telephoto pictures and offers a wide depth of field. Minimum aperture is f/22, and minimum focal depth is 19.29 inches. This 28-200 mm f/3.8-5.6 lens offers a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 at 200 mm, with a 7.1x zoom ratio. Extra Refractive Index (XR) glass increases optical performance in a short-barrel lens like this Tamron camera lens for Canon. Other features include internal autofocus function, Digital Integrated (DI) design, and aspherical lenses. Because this Tamron camera lens for Canon is a rotary extending zoom lens, Tamron includes a Zoom Lock (ZL) feature to keep the barrel length from extending at unwanted times. Non-rotating front barrel easily accommodates filters. The Tamron AF XR Di [IF] Macro MF lens weighs 12.49 ounces and measures 2.96 inches in length by 2.79 inches at its widest diameter.
before all else, this is not a nikon lens. because it is not a nikon lens, you wont that perfect sharpness... this lens is a great budget alternative to the nikon version and it wont be noticeably different on an 8x10 print.
Things I like:
-Cheap
-Good optic quality
-semi heavy (not super heavy like the nikon, but not cheap and plasicy like a kit lens
-Constant 2.8 aperture
-Fast, consistant focusing accuracy and speed
-Does not change size when focusing (asphirical)
Things that I am not fond of:
-Not the best lens quality out there... but not bad by any means
-Plastic lens barrel
-At the wide angle on the FF(full frame) D700 it vignettes a little in corners
-Changes total size when zooming in and out which is typical for this price range
over all this is one of my favorite lenses. I keep it on my camera 80% of the time and it does everything fairly well. once i have some extra money i will eventually replace it with the nikon, but i am in no rush at the time. it is a good performer on speed and optics and you wont be sorry that you paid only $300 for one of these (unless your expecting the nikon lens...)
I prefer this lens over the pricier equivilent sigma lens.Read full review
I have enjoyed using tamaron lenses in the past and this one is no exeption. Just as I have come to expect the optics are wonderful and the motor is very quiet. I picked this one so that I could have a lens for use at local sporting events to avoid lens changes since I have one camera. It allows for a wider angle when I need to shoot close and I can still zoom for longer shots when needed.
The only real cons I have found with this lens is weight and aperture. The weight is beleive is due to the range of the lens focal length. These lenses were made when film was still dominant and are some of the earlier lenses from Tamaron but will work with most of the digital Canon cameras as well. The aperture I have found will work well for general all around shooting.

I pruchased this lens to fill the gap between two of my Canon lenses, and it has quickly became my favorite lens. It has consistantly produced very sharp, crisp photos, with great color. It is now the one that stays on my camera all the time now. It is equivalent to a 34.8-121mm in 35mm, so the range of it is pretty decent for most photos. I have used it to shoot my daughter's softball games, portraits (strictly amateur and just take them of my family), historic sites I have visited, and so on. It has done everything I have asked of it without fail in the short time I have owned it.
The focus on it is fast, sharp and quiet (maybe not quiet as the Canon lens, but it definately is not loud in any sense of the word). It has never failed to focus using auto focus. And, if you want to manual focus for something just flip the switch to maual, and away you go. There is a lock to prevent lens creep on it while carrying it, but I have never had to use it, and don't expect to.
It is awesome in low light situations, where a flash is just not feasible. I recently visited a museum with everything under glass, and took all photos with no flash, and they came out awesome, with the majority of them being done using the camera's auto settings. Not once did I have to change lenses, where as before I was back and forth between the others that I have.
I would highly recommen this lens to anyone who is looking for one in this range, or as an upgrade to a kit lens. It has done everything I have asked so far, and well above my expectations. I have no doubt you will be as happy with it as I am.
If I had one complaint about this lens it would be for a little longer zoom. Say, maybe out to 135, or something around there. But then again that may affect the quality of the photos, which right now are perfect, or atleast for what I want.
In my opinion the money spent on this lens was money well spent. If I had to do over again I will purchase this lens again, and not think twice about it.Read full review
This lens is better than you would expect. Decent build quality certainly better than a nikon amateur zoom lens like the 18-70 or 18-55. Sharp in the center even at 2.8. I never used it on full frame. Produces images with excellent dreamy bokeh. I never shot it on full frame. For reasons I don't understand it does occasionally miss focus but good technique reduces this possibility. As far as I am concerned any nikon non AF-S lens has this problem anyway. Perfect focal length for for shooting people. You need this lens if you are shooting a wedding on a budget. There is no substitute for a 2.8 lens. Buy and sell it used it will cost you nothing. Supierior to the 18-200 in brightness and possibly sharpness at these lenghts.
Worst problem is nasty moustache distortion at wide end but this would not be used as a wide lens. Best feature is very decent macro performance and small size. Also I like the zoom lock feature for walking. I rate as excellent taking into account price and size. Nikon prime lenses are brighter and sharper in these focal lenghts but don't have macro or zoom. A nikon 2.8 17-55 or 24-70 are monsters in size and weight in comparison. Perfect walk around lens that does not stick out like pro 2.8 nikon. Oh yes it kind of needs a hood as it does flare quite easily. Don't even think of using stup up rings (67 to 77) as it will flare.
To give you an idea of my taste I think the 18-70 sucks. The 18-200 has unacceptable distortion. The 18-55 is not that sharp as rockwell says. The 17-55 2.8 is Awesome from 24-55. The 105 micro is perfect. The 50 1.8 is super sharp and does not ghost like the 1.4. The 12-24 sucks wider than 18 and the tokina 2.8 11-16 is incredible on a d300. The 70-300VR is the best amateur zoom nikon makes. www.robwouds.comRead full review
Great lens - great price - great bokeh - just a little slow in low light
I am enjoying this lens so much! I got a great deal on it here and I have used it about ten times so far. I spent about two hours with it today. It is sharp (for my needs at least) at all apertures, even f/2.8. It is really good at sucking in light and I took some great shots at sunset and just after. Even after dark you can set for high ISO and get shots that look like midday with as short as 1/2sec.
I pair this lens with a D7000 and I am having great results. The bokeh is very nice. The price is good and my only complaint is that the autofocus is just a bit slow. It's not bad, but the lower the available light gets, the slower the lens gets. Given that, it isn't much of a problem for me, because I won't be taking night sports shots or anything like that. It is lightning fast during the day or in a well lit room.Read full review
