    The top British photo magazine, "What Digital Camera" rated this lens as "the best all around lens on the market" in their last 100 Best Products issue, (the Nikon D70 was #1 of 5 DSLR's in the 100 products, ahead of the Canon 20D). I mention this because my brother, a wedding photographer, sent me some of the sharpest, color rich, detailed, pictures I've seen from any camera, except my own Nikon D70/18-70mm. He owns a Canon 20D with the Tamron 18-200mm XR Di II lens. This is the only lens he uses for his weddings. I was so impressed, I purchased the Tamron 18-200m for my D70. My Tamron pictures are just as good as my Nikon pictures.

    Since Nikon's 18-200mm VR @ $800.00, buy now low on e-bay, is out of my income bracket, the Tamron, @ $400.00 is a no brainer. My brother and I put our great Canon and Nikon lens back in their respective boxes. You'll probably see them on e-bay someday. I have not seen any pictures or reviews on the Sigma 18-200mm lens which is another alternative, but I can certainly vouch for the Tamron. Now when I go on vacation, I carry one compact lens instead of three.

    I totally agree with WDC magazine, the Tamron 18-200mm Di II "IS the (second) best all around lens on the market". Considering price, performance, quality, and convenience, it's the only one to buy, well, at least until you can raise the funds for "the top dog", Nikon's 18-200mm VR.

    I do not understand why this lens has been so poorly rated. Think about how light your travelling weight is! Sure it has abit of this and that, that is not so good. If you take a picture where there is light, pic quality and resolution is great! I have not seen a shot that would make me wanna throw this lens away. If you use the flash, its perfect!

    The magnification ratio is best in its class.

    I later got a nikon VR lens. Honestly, I have not taken such bad shots with people. there seems to be some form of distortion in it. Yes, it claims that it can have a sharp pic at 4 stops lower. What is 4 stops?? How much does it mean to a great 80% of the photographers out there?

    Why are all the prime lens more expensive while the number of lens/elements is lower?? Demand low resulting in high production cost? Maybe!

    Anyway, its a great lens at a very good price. Sure, owning a branded stuff feels good but is it worth it? I feel stupid buying the nikon vr lens of the same spec. Paid for the same quality at more than double the price. sigh...
