Excellent walkabout lens, a bit soft wide open at higher focal lengths unless stopped down. In some circumstance can suffer from light flare but again can be easily overcome if stopped down a bit or by the use of a circ polarising filter. Had no problems on my Pentax K200D bodies. Optically almost as good as the Pentax 28-200 but has the added advantage of 18mm wide angle. below £80-100 excellent value for money

Seems excellent as a "do it all" lens for much less than the cost of the Pentax version. Also have a 20-300 Tamron on another Pentax and that seems excellent too. Will be interesting to see how durable it is.

I first bought this model lens 2 years ago, but p/exed it for a different lens, which I regretted later. When I saw this lens on Ebay, I just had to make a bid and got lucky: the Tamron is great value for money and turns out better pictures with excellent colours than the professional reviews suggest, used on a Pentax Kx DSLR. I would recommend it to photographers on a budget, Its only fault is a slow focus in poor light.
For a used product, it was immaculate. Although I already had a similar product 18 to 250mm range, it was significantly lighter and therefore more portable with only a slight loss at the telephoto end. Limited results under lockdown conditions indicate that the performance is excellent.

A brilliant very versatile lens. A great all rounder with macro capability. If you want just one lens to carry with you this has to be it. A chance to get some brilliant shots without having to change lenses. I have various Tamron lenses but the LD A014 18-200mm has to be my favourite.
Nice alround lens sharp and easy to use

i bought this to replace 2 lenses, i read reviews about it, some were good some were iffy but what i find is its very sharp through the whole zoom range and good clear image quality, i do not need to fiddle about changing lenses and missing shots, it is well made a tad heavy but i am peased i bought it, would recommend it to anyone!!!.
Good all round lens, idea for very day use
