18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II Macro for Nikon

The Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Lens is designed exclusively for Nikon DSLRs with APS-C size sensors, providing a focal length equivalent to approximately 28-300mm in 35mm format. This all-in-one zoom lens features a built-in autofocus motor that enables quiet and responsive focusing across the entire zoom range, making it compatible with all Nikon DSLR models including older entry-level cameras. The lens achieves a minimum focus distance of 1.5 feet across the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.7 at 200mm, allowing for versatile macro photography without switching lenses.

The optical design incorporates XR extra refractive index glass and hybrid aspherical elements to minimize aberrations and reduce chromatic distortion for enhanced digital image quality. Internal surface coatings minimize ghosting and flare while a zoom lock mechanism prevents unwanted barrel extension during transport. The 15-element optical design in 13 groups delivers sharp performance across the wide 75-degree to 7-degree angle of view, making it a practical single lens solution for a variety of photographic situations.
