In the chromatic aberration category we can observe two different faces of the Tamron 18-200 mm. In the middle of the range the situation is almost perfect – the aberration keeps the level of 0.04% there, which we consider to be very low. When we try to work at both ends of the focal lengths range, the chromatism erupts to the level of 0.16%, which would be difficult to pass over.
