Tamron's stabilised 11x travel superzoom for Nikon APS-C — VC, built-in motor, 27-300mm equivalent.
The Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC delivers 11x zoom with vibration compensation in a compact package for Nikon DX bodies. It covers 27-300mm equivalent — a genuine one-lens travel solution.
Centre sharpness is acceptable across the range. Corners soften and the long end is soft wide open — typical superzoom compromises. VC provides about 4 stops. AF with built-in motor works on all Nikon bodies including D3xxx/D5xxx.
Nikon F mount with 62mm filter thread. Di II = APS-C only. VC vibration compensation. Built-in AF motor — important as many budget Nikon bodies lack body motors. 49cm minimum focus distance.
Common and affordable used. Check VC for smooth operation and zoom ring for binding. The 18-300mm version offers more reach. Optical quality is a compromise — acceptable for travel convenience, not for pixel-peeping.
