Canon 18-200m f/3.5-5.6 IS

[pandisal]

Woot, after 3 years of nikon having this type of lens, canon has its own all around
lens 18-200m IS..



Specifications

Intro Specs Performance Recommendations

Focal Length: 18-200mm. When used on a Canon 1.6x camera, it gives angles-of-view similar to what a 29-320mm lens does when used on a film or full-frame camera.

Optics: 16 elements in 12 groups. 2 UD (magic) glass and 2 aspherical elements. 5-group helical zoom.

Auto Focus: Canon says gear-driven, which suggests no instant MF override, but I'll wait to see.

Close Focus: 1.5 feet (0.45m).

Maximum Reproduction Ratio: 1:4.2.

Diaphragm: Canon claims round.

Filter Size: 72mm.

Size: Canon specifies 6.40" (162.5mm) long (maximum) by 3.1" (78.6mm) diameter. I'm unsure what Canon means my maximum length: they might mean overall (not flange) length at 18mm, or might mean length set to 200mm.

Weight: Canon specifies 21.0 oz. (595g).

Announced: 26 August 2008.

Available: October 2008.

Canon Item Code: 2752B002.

Price: $699 USA, 89,000 Yen (Japan).

at P21,000 it offers the same functionality as the one posted.

personally i think its a must have...18-200 dako kaayo gamit if you want a one lens that does it all for travel light system. ako when i travel i only bring the sigma. i leave my heavy L lenses at home hehehe.

[P-Chan]

sigma? nge ngao mo ad2 man ka ug third party na naa na man orig na brand.. before canon users had no choice pero now they have.. hunat nalang ko gamay.. kai gamay nalang ang difference

[Jeffrey Arrogante]

dili mani cya USM morag bagal

[pandisal]

Tinuod gyud, naa ko lain2x nga mga lens pero kung mo travel or just suroy2x, akong nikon 18-200vr sige akong dala... unless specifics ang adtuan ayha ra magamit laing lens. I think must have gyud sa mga hobbiest ni nga lens kung kaya sa budget.
