Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC (Canon) Review: Bargain EF-S all-rounder

Introduction Updated from its predecessor, the popular 10-year-old Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD, the latest incarnation benefits from Tamron’s Vibration Reduction (VC) system to help counteract the effects of camera shake. The new version is lighter, too, weighing in at 400g to make it the lightest super-zoom in its class, and costing just $249, it’s the cheapest, too. We’ve been busy testing the Canon EF-S lens mount version of the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 across a range of EOS DSLRs in our lab and are delighted to reveal the verified results.
