This Tamron Digital SLR Camera Lens Kit consists of two lenses, a wide-angle zoom lens and a telephoto zoom lens.

The 28-80mm lens is a standard zoom lens that offers a view ranging from a wide 28mm to a medium telephoto range of 80mm. The use of aspherical elements in the front group reduces the number of elements required, and the use of strong engineering plastic in the barrel makes the body light.

The Tamron AF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di-II LD is a high power zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras using the more compact (APS-C) digital size image sensors. The focal length of this lens is equivalent to approx. 88-320mm in 35mm format. This compact, lightweight 55-200mm telephoto zoom lens is the ideal "second lens" in a complete lightweight digital camera lens system.

The 55-200mm zoom lens realizes an MFD (Minimum Focus Distance) of 3.1 ft. (0.95 m) over the entire zoom range, the top level of the closest focusing distance among tele-zoom lenses. Since the maximum magnification ratio at f=200mm is 1:3.5, you can enjoy easy and convenient close-up photography.

Note! Di-II lenses cannot be used with digital SLR cameras using image sensors that are larger than that of an APS-C size imager (e.g. 1D series), or with 35mm film SLR cameras.

Not the best, not the worst

By Kelly S.

Comments about Tamron 28-80mm and 55-200mm LD Digital SLR Lens Kit:

I've had these lenses on my wish list for over a year and finally purchased them last week.The 28-80 is really a nice lens. I think I'll probably get a lot of use out of it.I mainly bought this package for the 55-200 and I'm a little disappointed in its performance. Really, my only complaint is that the lens is VERY slow to focus. But when it does focus, you are left with a crisp, clear picture.For the price, probably not a bad deal. I won't be sending them back, but I would recommend that you save your money and put it towards a better lens.

Expertise: Aspiring semi-professional photographer

Problems Encountered: As stated above, the 55-200 focuses very slowly.
