Tamron Autofocus 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras by Tamron
Digital product summary informationManufacturer: Tamron Model: Nikon AF Product features: - Since the lens is designed exclusively for digital SLR photography, it provides high image quality in terms of resolution, contrast and flatness of image field
- It employs a new optical system designed to confine the changing angles of incidences of light rays reaching the imager within a certain scope over the entire image field from the center to the periphery, by considering the effects of variances due to zooming
- Peripheral light fall-off is minimized when compared with that of conventional lenses for film cameras so that images are uniformly bright from the center to the periphery
- Complicated mechanisms are built in the compact body thanks to new mechanical artifices. The lens is a multi-purpose zoom lens, yet excellent portability and ease of use are assured. A number of invisible engineering innovations required to downsize the lens, produce high precision parts and increase durability are incorporated in the new AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO
- Compatible w/ the following D-SLR cameras: Nikon D50, D70s, D80, D200, D2Xs, D2Hs & earlier models plus the Fuji S5 Pro & earlier models

Digital camera reviews of Tamron Autofocus 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasDigital camera Review: BUYERS BEWARE Summary: 3 Stars
Another cheaply made plastic lens, including a PLASTIC MOUNT, from Tamron, but without the great optics found in their 55-200mm, also plastic throughout.
If you want a Lens in this range go with Sigma. The optics are just as good if not better and you get a good quality build lens.
What a shame Tamron was willing to put their name on this product! I was lucky enough to use this lens without having to purchase it. It is no where near the lens of the 18-250mm, of course you pay for it,but I would rather pay an extra hundred and have a lens that could last many, many years than invest nearly 4 hundred in something made so poorly.
If you really want an 18-200mm lens, try the Sigma. It gets decent reviews see this link : http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Sigma-18-200mm-f35-63-DC
But if you want a decent walk around lens that really gives you something surprising for the money go with the Sigma 28-200mm. Sure you lose the 10mm up front,but in exchange you get surprising optics that can be had for around $200 on the web depending on where you shop.

Summary of Tamron Autofocus 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasThe Tamron AF18-200mm high power zoom lens features an entirely new optical design using XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass in an innovative way in order to optimize the overall distribution of optical power throughout the entire zoom range. This design reduces various aberrations to the absolute minimum and achieves remarkable downsizing at the same time. In addition, three hybrid aspherical lens elements and two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements are used to accomplish effective compensation of on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations, a critical factor to enhance the optical quality in digital photography. As a result, the lens provides outstanding optical quality in a multi-purpose zoom lens. A glare-reducing flower-shaped lens hood is included as a standard accessory. The special hood provides optimum shading of superfluous light rays that enter from the rectangular frame outside the image field. It employs a new optical system designed to confine the changing angles of incidences of light rays reaching the imager within a certain scope over the entire image field from the center to the periphery, by considering the effects of variances due to zooming. Complicated mechanisms are built in the compact body thanks to new mechanical artifices. The lens is a multi-purpose zoom lens, yet excellent portability and ease of use are assured. A number of invisible engineering innovations required to downsize the lens, produce high precision parts and increase durability are incorporated in the new AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO
