Over in Japan, Tamron today announced a new 18-200mm f/3.5-63 Di II VC lens that it claims is the world’s lightest 18-200mm stabilized APS-C lens.
The lens has a 35mm equivalent focal range of 28-310mm, and it weighs just 400g (14.1 oz). By comparison, Canon’s 18-200mm IS weighs 595g (1.31 lb), and Nikon’s 18-200mm VR weighs 560g (1.23 lb).
Tamron’s new lens is the successor to the existing, non-stabilized $200 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3, which Tamron says is one of its best-selling lenses over the past 10 years.
Features of the all-in-one lens include a 0.5m (19.7 in) minimum focusing distance, a quick and quiet autofocus system, 16 elements in 14 groups, a circular seven-blade aperture, a Zoom Lock feature, and moisture-resistant construction.
Pricing and international availability haven’t yet been announced, but Tamron says the Canon and Nikon versions of this lens will be available starting on August 20, 2015, in Japan. A non-stabilized Sony version is also on the way.
