Our editorial take on the Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Aspherical LD XR Di II (IF) Macro (5-Pin) Lens for Nikon F-Mount
The Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II is a high-power all-in-one zoom designed exclusively for APS-C Nikon DSLRs. With an 11.1x zoom range covering 18-200mm (equivalent to 28-300mm in 35mm terms), it offers wide-angle to telephoto reach in a single, lightweight package. Tamron built this lens using aspherical elements and proprietary cam mechanisms to keep size and weight down, making it one of the more compact superzoom options for cropped-sensor bodies.
This used example is listed at $53 from KEH in excellent-plus condition with caps included, making it an affordable entry point for photographers seeking versatility without the bulk or cost of multiple lenses. The Di II designation means it's optimized for smaller APS-C sensors and won't cover full-frame cameras. The macro capability extends the lens's utility for close-up work, though the variable f/3.5-6.3 aperture is typical for budget superzooms and limits low-light performance at the long end.
- Extremely wide 18-200mm (28-300mm equivalent) range covers most shooting scenarios
- Compact and lightweight for an 11x superzoom
- Macro mode adds close-up capability
- Very affordable, especially in the used market
- Variable f/3.5-6.3 aperture reduces light-gathering at telephoto end
- APS-C only design, not compatible with full-frame sensors

About this product
Di II: Lenses are designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-size imagers and inherit all of the benefits of our Di products. These lenses are not designed for conventional cameras and digital cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm. At Tamron, our quest has always been to make the ideal zoom lens. As a result of this ongoing challenge, we have introduced the concept of our high-power zoom lens in the new AF18-200mm XR Di II for exclusive use with digital SLRs. Tamron's original development of proprietary core technologies such as Aspherical element production, Multiple Cam Mechanism and Integrated Focus Cam design lend to the creation of the world's lightest, most compact 11.1X zoom lens made for digital SLR cameras. The 18-200mm (28-300 when converted to 35mm) provides the digital photographer with the versatility of a true wide to ultra tele zoom in an amazingly easy to use design.
