Tamron 18-200mm for my Sony A7iii

Love this lens. Take this lens and go, covers all the ranges you will need in a day, unless of course you want the super up close that the mega zoom lens give you. This one is small, light and does a great job.

Great lens for the money

I just received the Canon EOS M5 with the 15-45 lens. That just didn’t have enough ‘reach’ for my taste. Looked at the options from Canon, either the 18-150 or the 55-200. I didn’t want to carry two lenses all of the time so the 55-200 was out, and the Tamron 18-200 price was the same as the Canon 18-150, but had more reach, so gave it a whirl. Other than the usual EOS M trouble with getting focus lock, I have found the Tamron lens to be all I was looking for. Thus far, in the short time I have had it, the pictures, when properly focused look pretty good regardless of the zoom level. Understand, this is not the same as the larger EOS lenses, but quite good for a much more compact package. I see no reason to ‘short change yourself’ and limit yourself to only the Canon offerings.

Many of these Reviews are nonesense

Many of the 94 reviews claim to be using this lens on SLR's which it will not fit. Does no one check them before they appear? I do not own the lens, but will probably buy it.

Great all around; Poor telephoto

I bought this hoping to replace my canon 70-200 f/4L lens. Great for my wife and as an all around lens but if you expect great telephoto pictures don't waste time on this lens. Simply not sharp and very poor results. Thank you Adorama for your return policy

Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens for Canon.

This extraordinary all-in-one zoom lens covers practically any shooting situation you'll ever encounter with your mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera. Light, compact and exquisitely designed, the B011 covers the full focal-length range from 18mm wide-angle to 200mm long telephoto (28-310mm equivalent in the 35mm format). This is a high-power zoom lens designed by Tamron exclusively for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras.

Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens for Canon.

Light & Compact.

A brilliant match for today's mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, the pleasingly small, lightweight B011 provides all the advanced technologies you need to take your photography to the next level. Its impressive 18-200mm, high-power zoom range can take in everything from casual close-ups to telephoto action images. Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization lets you capture sharper photos handheld in practically any light. The more you use this lens, the more you'll want it by your side while you're strolling around town or heading out on longer journeys. Get closer to your world and capture it in vibrant images with the extraordinary B011.

Light & Compact.

Top-Quality Images.

The B011 gives you sharp, clear images no matter what you're shooting. Over 20 years of high-power zoom technology developments by Tamron have been distilled into this innovative long-range compact lens. The optical design includes an array of specialized glass elements that overcome aberrations, resulting in crisp, flawless images. You can capture all the beauty of every moment you encounter with this superlative lens.

Note:
The B011's optics include two LD elements, three Glass Molded Aspherical Lenses, one XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass and one Hybrid Aspherical Lens.

Top-Quality Images.

Design & Color.

The B011's polished design and professional metal finish come together in a compact package that is fashionable, ergonomic, supremely portable and easy to use. With this lens on your camera you'll be ready to capture your world in breathtaking images, just as you see it. Choose from black or silver models to match your camera body. With this unique design Tamron has achieved a perfect balance of technological excellence, elegance and picture-taking fun.

Design & Color.

Precise, Quiet Autofocus That Allows For Fine Adjustments.

The B011's autofocus mechanism uses a stepping motor that's an ideal match for the contrast detection autofocus system used in mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras. The stepping motor's actuator allows finely tuned control of angular rotation and since it drives the focusing mechanism directly without an intermediate reduction gear, it also provides superbly quiet performance.

You can count on this to enhance autofocus capability when shooting video. Furthermore, after adjusting with the autofocus mechanism, you can use the full-time manual function to allow delicate adjustments to the image. In short, you can capture the scenes you want, focused exactly as you want them, every time.

Precise, Quiet Autofocus That Allows For Fine Adjustments.
VC Image Stabilization.

VC Image Stabilization.

It provides up to a four-stop anti-shake advantage when you're shooting handheld, so you can make full use of the lens's capabilities even in low light. The B011 provides a crisp, vivid viewfinder image plus the operational advantages of Tamron's acclaimed VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization technology. This high-power zoom lens enables easy handheld shooting even in low light or at telephoto settings.

Groundbreaking Image Capture System.

Groundbreaking Image Capture System.

Tamron's VC technology uses our exclusive, proven, ultra-reliable three-coil system in which three drive coils move the shake-compensating VC optical groups in the lens electromagnetically via three steel balls. The upgraded "moving coil" system in the B011 places the drive coils adjacent to the shake-compensating optics, allowing a lighter, more compact design. The new lens also benefits from design enhancements aimed at providing quieter operation.
