Nice lens but SHORT on zoom range, April 19, 2006
Reviewer: TheWaldo "W."
I bought this to go with my Nikon D50. While being a nice feeling lens
with a good solid quality feel, I too noticed the zoom range to be far
short of the rated 28-300 when used with a digital SLR. My informal tests
compared against a Nikkor 70-210 on my older N70 shows the zoom range of
the Tamron to be approximately the same as my Nikkor. This is also proven
to be true when comparing the zoom range against my Sony DSC-H1. At the
300mm range this lens is only 200mm, plus or minus.
I am happy with the quality, feel, and convenience of this lens, but did
not find this out until after the return period had expired. Based on the
true range, I would have prefered to buy the Nikkor 55-200 and be done
with it for about half the price............Tamron has ripped us off with
their lies. I have read other reviewers offering the same conclusions.
If you can buy an OEM lens in the 200mm range for the same money DO
IT........you will not regret your purchase.

Tamron 18-200mm Auto Lense, February 25, 2006
Reviewer: D. E. Carter
My son is invovled in Track and Field and I was looking for a lense that
had good performance and that was moderattely priced. The Tamron lense
offered by Amazon met both of my requirements.
The lense is easy to operate and the auto focus feature is smooth and
fast. With the correct ISO setting and this lense the quality my action
shots have increased tremendoulsy.
I use this lense for all my photographic needs. It is a wonderful! I am a
happy customer!

Great all around/travel lens, September 29, 2005
Reviewer: S. Danczuk
This lens is great!! It does everything I need in one small package. I am
using it on a Nikon D50 and the pictures it produces are nice and clear. I
had read many reviews that said to stay away from all-in-one zoom lenses,
but I did not want to carry around two different lenses all the time. I
think for the average person who doesn't want to bother with switching
lenses this is a great choice. I am very happy with my purchase.
