Like its longer (but cheaper) stablemate, the Tamron 18-200mm has excellent control over chromatic aberrations in the centre of the frame, but loses it as we look closer to the corners, though less dramatically so than the 18-250mm. In terms of resolution, this lens is the least likely to become President, thanks to its unremarkable wideangle performance and marginally better-than-average resolution at the telephoto end of the zoom.
