Product Description
The AF18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro is the ultimate high power zoom boasting the world's greatest zoom ratio of 13.9X, a milestone that Tamron, the pioneer of high power zoom lenses, has achieved by commanding its technologies to further expand the capabilities of high power zoom lenses.To prevent the lens from becoming bulky, the design concept of the AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XI Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro (Model A14), a popular lens among the world's digital SLR users since it is the ideal high power zoom lens, was the basis for this new lens that features an expanded focal length to 250mm at its tele-end. With the new AF18-250mm zoom lens that provides enhanced image quality, Tamron has achieved an astounding 13.9X zoom power, the world's greatest in the class of zoom lenses; yet the increase in size is confined to a mere 0.2mm more in its maximum diameter and just 0.6mm in overall length, in a lens that offers a 388mm ultra telephoto focal length (diagonal angle of view of 6? 23') when converted to the 35mm film format.Similar Products

I picked this lens because I wanted a "general/all-around" lens. It does have some slight limitations when zoomed all the way in and using auto focus. But for the price payed and the ease of not having to lug around a bag full of lenses to do what this does, I am very pleased.
By Mai T. Dinh (Mission Viejo, CA)
Awesome everyday use. I get lazy when switching out lenses.
Pros- when I want to shoot macro, fairly simple. When I want a wide lens shot- I got it. All in-one-feature. HAPPY with results (color wise- amazing, depends on technique).
Cons- not much, other than I wish I can zoom in more? I need to purchase a hardcore macro lens++. I love abstractions from zooming in super close!
Overall- NICE..
By Paul Garland (El Paso, Texas USA)
This is really a very good lens. And since it has a focusing motor built in it works fine with the D40. I also have a D300 and naturally it works great on it.
No VR, but it is much cheaper than a Nikon. It is a great "walk around" lens that I normally keep on the D40.
By the way: I got mine at Best Buy. I paid almost $100- more than if I had bought it from Amazon, and I also had to pay sales tax!

I got this lens for 250 dollars reconditioned, it came to me like new. Great travel lens. You do have to crank the ISO up to stop action at 250mm but that is not that big of a deal. The lens does pretty well doing macro stuff which is fun to play with.
Just for everyday shooting this lens covers 90 percent of my needs and stays on the camera almost all of the time. Unless I am going out to shoot something where I specifically need another lens this one stays on the camera which is nice because now I'm not changing lenses outdoors and risking dust on my sensor.

After dropping my camera with my Tamron 18-200 on it I bought the 18-250. Seems to be equally sharp although some reviewers say the 250 is better than the 200. The 200 had bad lens creep which the 250 doesn't have and that alone is a big improvement.
