Used Tamron AF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro

The Tamron AF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro is a telephoto lens compatible with FF and APSC format cameras. Focusing is automatic and occurs via a non-ultrasonic AF motor, image stabilization is not present. The shooting angle varies from 43 to 12.4 degrees based on the focal length used and the minimum focusing distance is just under one metre. The lens hood is sold separately, its weight and dimensions are low and appear to be able to give comfort and practicality to the lens. The materials are of reasonable quality, quite resistant and durable although slightly plasticky. The images are qualitatively sufficient, quite sharp even if not very bright. There are no defects such as aberrations or distortions. The macro function turns out to be effective, the autofocus is one of the defects of this support: not very precise, noisy and the front lens rotates together with the rings. The Tamron AF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro is a lens without too many pretensions, the overall quality is sufficient and can manage to give pleasant shots. The use is not strictly professional but the compatibility with FF could be a plus. It is very versatile and can be used for a large number of different genres, furthermore its practicality and comfort make it a useful ally for all shooting conditions. The cost is very low and the value for money amply justifies the investment.
