- Di Design
- Digitally Integrated is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. By employing "Internal Surface Coatings" and multiple-layer coating technology on ordinary elements, ghosting and flare due to reflections that occur when light enters through the front element and reflections caused by the imagers themselves are reduced to the absolute minimum.
- XR Design
- Features XR (extra refractive index) glass and efficient use of aspherical lenses.
- Zoom Range
- A 7x magnification power is now available when used with digital SLR cameras. The focal length of when used on digital SLRs is equivalent to approx. 45-320mm in 35mm format (depending on camera brand).
- IF System
- Incorporates an Inner Focusing system and features a non-rotating front lens barrel for convenient filter use.

Comments about Tamron Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto AF 28-200mm Super Zoom f/3.8-5.6 XR Di Aspherical IF Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF:
Even though the lens is said to be compatible with the Nikon digital D-series it does not work the Nikon D40x.
In addition, if you zoom in to get a sharp focus and then zoom out the focus is off. Focus at any lens length must be focused at that length to ensure sharpness. A MAJOR drawback.

Comments about Tamron Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto AF 28-200mm Super Zoom f/3.8-5.6 XR Di Aspherical IF Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF:
I recently purchased this lens and haven't used it extensively, but my initial impression is that it is an excellent lens. My first photographs have been sharply focused with pleasing color and no discernable vignetting or barrel distortion. The lens is light, but feels solidly constructed. My only complaint is that the operation is a little stiff when zooming to the maximum focal length.
