Tamron AF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro (A15) - unknown Mount

The Tamron AF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro is a lightweight telephoto zoom designed exclusively for APS-C digital SLR cameras. It offers a versatile focal range equivalent to approximately 85-310mm on a full-frame sensor. Low Dispersion (LD) glass elements are utilised to minimise chromatic aberration, while the 'Di II' designation signifies coatings optimised for digital sensors to reduce ghosting and flare. It is particularly suited to outdoor portraiture and general travel photography where a compact form factor is preferred. When inspecting a used model, ensure the autofocus motor operates smoothly, as these entry-level units can become noisy over time. The plastic lens mount should be checked for cracks or excessive wear. SDS technicians verify the internal optics for dust and ensure the zoom mechanism moves freely without catching throughout the range. The 'Macro' function allows for a 1:3.5 reproduction ratio, so check that the minimum focusing distance is achieved consistently.
