Tamron 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 Di: One lens from wide to telephoto.

The Tamron AF 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 XR Di covers a wide swath of focal lengths in a single barrel, running from 28mm wide-angle to 200mm telephoto on Canon EF mount. XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass lets Tamron keep the physical length shorter than a conventional design spanning the same range, and the Di designation means the optical formula was tuned with digital sensors in mind. Aspherical elements work to control distortion and aberration across that focal range, while LD (Low Dispersion) glass keeps chromatic fringing in check toward the long end.

Internal Focus means the front element doesn't rotate during autofocus, which matters when you're using a polarizer, the filter stays put. The macro capability adds close-focus utility that a straight travel zoom typically skips. For anyone building a light, minimal kit around Canon EF bodies, this lens consolidates a wide-to-telephoto range into one 72mm filter thread.

Who It's For

Travel photographers who want a single lens covering wide establishing shots through compressed telephoto framing will find the 28-200mm range covers most of what a trip demands. Street shooters working from Canon EF film or digital bodies who don't want to carry multiple primes can work the full range without a bag change. The macro capability makes this useful for product or nature photographers who need occasional close-focus work without carrying a dedicated macro lens. Photographers shooting events in varied environments benefit from the Internal Focus design keeping polarizers and other filters properly oriented throughout.

FAQ

What focal length range does this lens cover?
28-200mm on Canon EF mount, spanning from wide-angle to telephoto in a single barrel.
Why does Internal Focus matter for polarizer use?
The front element doesn't rotate during autofocus, so a polarizing filter stays locked in position and won't shift while focusing.
What's the macro capability on this lens?
The lens includes close-focus utility beyond what a straight travel zoom typically offers, though specific minimum focus distance isn't detailed in the specs.
How does XR glass help the optical design?
Extra Refractive Index glass allows Tamron to keep the physical barrel shorter than a conventional design spanning the same 28-200mm range.
What filter size does this lens use?
72mm threads, which is consistent across the focal range since the front element doesn't rotate.
Is this lens still in production?
No, the Canon EF version was discontinued in December 2010.
What mounts were this lens available in?
Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, and Pentax K, all discontinued as of December 2010.
