Key Features

  • All-in-one lens – Tamron’s AF18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lightweight lens allows you to capture wide-angle to long telephoto images on your Sony DSLR camera. This high-power zoom lens uses XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass to optimise the overall distribution of optical power throughout the entire zoom range.
  • Joby Ultrafit Sling Strap – the Joby camera sling strap is equipped with Layered Pad Technology, which evenly distributes the weight of your camera across your shoulder muscles, and an innovative quick release system.
  • Lowepro Format 140 case – the Lowepro Format 140 protective case safeguards your camera equipment. It is fitted with adjustable dividers, weather-resistant fabric and durable YKK zippers.
  • Camera Armor 62mm UV filter – the Camera Armor 62mm filter reduces reflection, flare, ghosting, ultraviolet rays and vignetting for superior quality photos.
    The Camera Armor cleaning kit helps you keep your photographic equipment in the best condition, so you can keep shooting for longer.

    alternatively: https://www.teds.com.au/tamron-18-200mm-sony-a-mount-ex-demo @$99 for a $200 saving ($89 delivered if you get the popup on Ted's page)
    yes, new vs demo, but may appeal to someone who finds $298 a stretch

    credit TA's deal earlier in the year: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/228475
    … it appears items are now available again

    • Yeah I've had that in my shopping cart since that deal, haven't bothered to push the button yet. Would be a good travel lens but I really don't need it…

    I am sure it's another pricing error…

    18- between 200 and 300 is a compromise - convenience at the cost of image quality. If you pixel peep do yourself a favour and stay away from these. If you're posting to Facebook and printing small and don't care too much about quality this might be fine (but I would question why you'd want to carry a DSLR under those circumstances). Learnt this the hard way with a Tamron 28-300XR when I first started out with DSLR, which is in the same sort of category.

    This is the oldest of the APS-C crop superzooms. Slow AF and more importantly the focus motor is loud and noisy. Not a bargain at $300 IMO ($500 is clearly a joke). Also just saw that you can get it Brand New at digidirect or DWI for $200 for the lens alone. Why would you spend $100 for an extra bag and strap??

      Why would you spend $100 for an extra bag and strap??

      And 2yrs local warranty. That's up to the buyers, and it's always something they need to weigh up

      FFS negging because of a cheaper grey-import, vs local stock. Wow..

      • Digidirect is not grey import.

      The bag, around $50+ here and here
      The strap, $58 here (and most places seem to be $50+)

      Your neg is invalid, you're not even comparing pricing of the bundle. And grey vs local.

      • So you're saving $8 and getting a free cheap filter and cleaning cloth kit? Yeah, still not a bargain. Youre still spending $300 on an almost 12 year old lens. Also I highly doubt there is any OzBargainer that would be interested in those 2 overpriced bag and strap for those retail prices in the first place.

        My advice to anyone after a dslr superzoom is to avoid this lens (especially at this price). The newer Tamron 18-270 and 16-300 have better IQ, better build and silent focus motors.

    I would recommend this instead…much better lens, and cheaper:

  • Anyone find any deals on a travel lens for a Sony E Mount?

    • What's a travel lens?

      • For travel esp always moving with groups, I'm happy with my compact 18-200mm Sony lens on APCS camera. Saves a lot of lens swapping. It would be great if f stop were lower but for this price I cant complain.

        • The Sony 18-200 is over $1k. I don't consider that cheap and would want F2.8 for that money. I probably wouldn't get it, but that's what I would want.

      • I think they are referring to a lens which covers a lot of focal lengths from wide to zoom like 18-200 or 18-300 so if traveling you only need to take one lens as opposed to multiple prime lenses or shorter zoom lenses.
