Versatile zoom range for Minolta SLRs
This Tamron zoom covers 28 to 200mm with a variable aperture of f/3.8-5.6 and mounts directly on Minolta SLR cameras. It suits photographers who want a single lens for wide scenes and distant subjects without changing glass. The integrated macro function reaches a 1:4.8 reproduction ratio for close-up work.
Compact build with hybrid aspherical optics
Two hybrid aspherical elements and a large low-dispersion element keep the optical path short and light at just 1.6 ounces. An integrated focus cam optimises the internal focusing mechanism to cut the minimum focusing distance while maintaining image quality. The 72mm filter thread accepts standard accessories.
Upgrades from fixed focal length or shorter zooms
Photographers moving up from a prime lens or a narrower zoom gain wide-to-tele flexibility plus macro capability in one package. The jump is worthwhile when you need to cover 28 to 200mm without swapping lenses and can accept the variable maximum aperture. It does not serve users who need a constant aperture throughout the range.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the lens on a Minolta SLR and what step is often missed?
Align the red dot on the lens barrel with the camera mount index, twist clockwise until it clicks, then set the aperture ring to the locked A position so the body can control exposure.
What part will need replacement after extended use and how often?
The 72mm front filter thread accepts a protective UV or clear filter; replace that filter if it becomes scratched or coated with residue that cleaning cannot remove.
At what focal length and aperture does diffraction softness appear first during prolonged shooting?
Diffraction becomes noticeable at the 200mm end stopped down beyond f/5.6, so keep the aperture at f/5.6 or wider for maximum sharpness during long sessions.
