I've literally never owned a zoom that was not variable aperture. And that's in the best part of forty years.
I don't see your reasoning @zbc. The amount of time that you have not own a non-variable apperture zoom indicates that indicates that variable zoom is great?
I think he meant "zoomable and variable apature is normal". I never expect a single-apature variable focal length at the $700 range. Actually I haven't seen any 18-200 single apature lens.
I have a Tamron 70-300 variable apature, bought for ~AU$500 in Japan, no complaint at all.
$150 for this 18-200 is a really good price
you kidding right?
i have more than one 18-50 f2,8 things…
guy is getting downvoted but he's right… a 70-200 is going to be f4,5 - f5.6 job which is what one might be expecting from a $150 lens
so gotta shoot outdoors in bright sunlight… or maybe your body has ois meaning you get one free stop of aperture, sort of
few people will want to buy an heft a 70-200 f4 though
$798 is bananas… no one is paying that much for a toy f4.5 plastic lens
I think the model is TM-B018N, which has aperture starting f/3.5 not 4.5
Might simply want to take a picture of the moon or some surf pics at the beach or portrait under good lighting. This would be fine to try out the hobby.

OK, you've not owned a fixed aperture zoom lens in 40 years. And your point is?
If you're expecting a fixed aperture zoom lens to be $150 brand new from a retailer, then you're insane.
Oh my Sony!!
$300 is the normal price, great way to trick people with their fake rrp
my assumption would be anyone who buys a body will have enough brain cells to work out what lenses are good and which are to be sold to dummies
Truth, these are always $200-250 and even sub $200 if on sale often. They're also available for $100 lightly used often.
But $150 new is a great price.
"sale ends 14/03/2023"
Yeah I asked the staff about the date and he said: don't worry about that :D
Should mention it's a) third party, b) variable aperture and c) likely covers only the crop (APS-C) part of an FF sensor.
Having said that it's a) a Tamron, so one of the better aftermarket brands, b) a bargain at $150 new, but not as much of a steep discount as they're saying it is, c) will likely cover almost or all of a full frame sensor at some of most focal lengths, d) most FF prosumer cameras capture better video in crop mode so might be very appealing to the amateurs looking to cover a wide range of focal lengths in video with their FF sensor (if it indeed does perform better in crop mode).
meh, the quality isn't great. i would stick to nikon lenses
I remember using one of these on my old Canon. Horrible lens. I thought my camera was broken as the images were a smearing of colour blobs
What's it's aperture range? They don’t say anywhere, it can't be good, f4-f5.6 is my guess.
I think the model is TM-B018N, which has aperture starting f/3.5.
Hmm…f/3.5 to f/6.3 on the long end, that's not great when on a DSLR.
Better than some stock lenses, like if you have an old 24-70mm f/4-5.6 full frame (or 18-55mm crop) lens with a shit 3-4x zoom, it may probably be tempting for telephoto in the same setup with its 10x'ish zoom. But honestly nothing to be excited about.
I saw the same lens on sale in JB Claremont Perth last week for $170. Must be discontinued or about to release a replacement lens
Variable aperture - always important to share that. Variable aperture lenses not so premium.
