Paul Carroll has just posted a new review of the “All-In-One” Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC lens at the DxOMark. With an overall DxOMark score of 11 points tested on the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Tamron 18-200mm lens is better than the Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM and Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.

“Lightweight, convenient, and affordable“, Conclusion from DxOMark: ” Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens will be a popular mass-market lens for enthusiasts shooting APS-C. Covering a versatile wide-angle to long telephoto focal range in a relatively compact and lightweight unit makes it challenging for super-zooms to deliver top quality image quality, however. As we’ve seen, the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3’s overall DxOMark score of 11 points places it towards the lower end of the performance spectrum when tested on Canon’s flagship APS-C DSLR, the EOS 7D Mark II. Within its own APS-C super-zoom class, however, it performs at least on par with the more expensive competition from bothSigma and Canon, making it a good value-for-money option….”
