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 13 points tested on the Nikon D5300, Tamron 18-200mm lens is the same as Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM and Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF ED lens.

“Good value for money“, Conclusion from DxOMark: ” the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 will be a popular mass-market lens for enthusiasts shooting APS-C. As we’ve seen, the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3’s overall DxOMark score of 13 point ranks towards the lower end of the performance spectrum when tested on the Nikon D5300. Within its own APS-C super-zoom 18-200mm class, it achieves the same overall DxOMark score of 13 points as its Sigma and Nikon rivals. With the addition of Tamron’s Vibration Compensation system on the new 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 super zoom, however, together with the weight reduction down to just 400g — around 1/3 lighter than the Nikon alternative — it’s a good value-for-money option for those photographers looking to lessen the load….”
