Product Description

This lens covers all the focal lengths from 28mm wide angle to 200mm telephoto, the most frequently used focal length range. With a maximum diameter of 70mm (2.75 in.) and length of 75.2mm (2.96 in.), it has a compact size. And with a triple-cam internal-focus system, it packs a lot of performance in a compact package. Portable and mobile, the lens can be carried anywhere, so it is ideal for travel and snapshot photography. With 2 aspherical Lens, it has excellent correction for all types of aberration, and it displays a high level of optical ability throughout the entire zoom range. The inner focus system allows the lens to be focused without having to rotate the front of the lens, and the lens accepts a Petal-type hood and it is also easy to use a circular polarizing filter.

Good lens, lacks contrast at 200mm.......2005-03-06

I bought this lens for a trip to Ireland, I wanted to travel light with only one body and one lens.

It's a very good all purpose zoom range and suited my objective very well.

The lens was sharp, but seemed to lack contrast at the very upper end of the zoom range. When zoomed all the way in, the pictures looked a little flat and lacked contrast but it was nothing that couldn't be tuned up in Photoshop. It was fine from 28-135 or so.

I was afraid of their 28-300 zoom. That seemed like too much of a range and I was more concerned about that lens being less sharp and less contrasty at the upper focal length than this one... but if I had it all to do over again, I'd prbably go for that 28-300 lens instead of this 28-200 .

While I might expect the 28-300 to be softer at 300mm, it might be better at 200mm than the 28-200 so you'd have everything the 28-200 gives you plus an extra 100mm.

The 28-300 is also a little heavier and more expensive, so that should be a consideration.

All in all it was a very good bargain. It wasn't as crisp as I'd expect a Nikon or Canon lens, but it wasn't a Nikon or Canon lens price.

Versatile all-in-one lens with good sharpness........2003-07-24

This is aspherical zoom lens is a 2 in 1 zoom lens taking care of 28-70mm and 70-210mm zoom lens so no more lens changing hassles.

The results from this lens has come out very well and the crispness, clarity, exposure and sharpness are quite satisfying.

It's quite compact and lightweight but not as light as the Tamron's 28-200mm. But then I guess weight does add sturdiness and strength to a product.

It's got a very good aperture range of 3.5-5.6 for such a huge focal range. The aspherical design has added to it's compactness. Due to the non-rotating filter mount, using of polarizers has become easier.

On the downside the depth of field is the only casualty in the mid to tele range compared to smaller range zooms.
