Tamron F 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6

The Tamron 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 XR Di Aspherical Macro is an early super‑zoom spanning wide to long tele on full frame, packing a 7.1× range into a compact, sub‑360g barrel. XR and Aspherical elements help restrain aberrations while the Di coatings target digital sensor reflectivity. A 0.49 m close focus (≈0.21×) enables near‑macro framing for travel detail shots. Lacking stabilization and with a modest variable aperture, it benefits from higher ISO or good light, but rewards with versatile all‑in‑one convenience for lightweight travel, casual wildlife, spontaneous portraits, scenic landscapes and general walk‑around coverage when minimizing lens changes is paramount.
