I bought this lens in preparation for a visit to Kew Gardens to capture a variety of plant forms on camera. It did not disappoint. Yes - it is quite heavy and does tend to creep when carried without the lock engaged - but its versatility outweighs such matters. From wide angle to close up this is my lens of choice. The image stabilisation is good enough to capture the detail in a buzzard's wing when hand held at maximum zoom.In manual focus however the ring is very "slack" and not as easy to use - but with practice I am sure I will master it. Also I find the LOCK button which stops the lens creeping under its own weight when not in use rather fiddly to engage.Looking for a general purpose lens for the CAnon EOS 450D - look no further than this lens - but shop around to get the best price!

I have upgraded to this lens from the previous Tamron 18mm-200mm zoom lens which was very good. This lens does go the extra mile especially with IS (image stability), it does give me a bit extra zoom which is always useful. I do use this as my only lens because I am not a professional photographer but just like to be ready for most situations when they appear. I like taking techincally good pictures and this lens goes a long way to helping me do just that.I have recently read an article in the magazine PhotoPlus (Canon Edition), they have reviewed this type of zoom lens, and this came out top.The only down side to this lens it does seem a little heavy but just think about what you get in the lens to make it do what it does (weight taken from the Tamron web site - 550g (19.5oz)).

I usually use top of the range Nikon gear and do have the 18 200 VR II. My wife wanted a lens with a bit more reach but did not want to keep chnaging lenses so we went for this Tamron. So far it has produced perfectly acceptable images and has stood up to quite hard use (she takes it horse riding!). For pixel peppers, yes there is a bit of distortion, chromatic abberations and softness at the edges but for the average usuer this won't be a problem. She loves the lens and has produced some lovely shots with her D90 espechially at the tele end stopped down to F8 (6.3 is a bit soft but not noticable on 7X5's. If you want an all in one walk (or ride around) lens this is perfectly adequate for the casual photographer. I can see a differece at the tele end between my 70 200 VR II nikon but it's not that far behind and the nikon cost 4 x as much and is huge and heavy. People must go out and use their kit as that is what it is for and not fuss over MTF charts at this end of the market. I would be more than happy to take this lens on holiday or on a trip where I wanted to have a great zoom range and travel light.
