*When pictures taken with a
Di-II lens mounted on a 35mm
film camera or digital SLRs
with image sensor larger than
24mm x 16mm, image corners
become dark
( ie., vignetting
becomes noticeable).

When designing a lens having a short focal length range (when designing a
wideangle lens), the diameter of the lens inevitably becomes large. However, in
designing the 18-200mm Di II lens, Tamron has successfully solved this problem
by using an image circle designed to match that of general image sensor (smaller-
size image sensor), achieving almost the same compactness as the 28-300mm
lens (A061), which offers the same angles of view produced in 35mm film format.
