Pros: Very versatile, Time saver for not having to change lenses Cons: Some auto-focus problems "I gave this a 5-star rating because I researched this lens before I bought it so I knew what to expect with its strengths and weaknesses. While I have had some problems with the auto-focus not locking on to my subject under certain circumstances (solved by quickly switching to manual), I cannot stress enough the overall versatility that this lens offers. from Bestbuy.com After trying a Sigma 18-125 and a Tamron 18-200, I read the reviews for this lens and gave it a try. Considering the focal range of this lens, it is amazing. from Bhphotovideo.com I bought the lens in June 2008 and have travelled wide and far with this attached to my Canon XTi. For an amatuer like me who uses auto focus and other auto settings most of the time it has worked perfectly well. from Amazon.com I have used this lens for a while now ... since 10/07, and I recently scratched it on a hike up a volcano. from Amazon.com no doubt a very functional lens...it has great range and is comparatively very compact for what it does...the aperture is fairly standard...and it's offered at a relatively affordable price. how you like 'em adverbs...hehe from Amazon.com I've used it to shoot my kids swimming, indoor shots of family/friends and at a wedding inside a church. In each case, this lens performed superbly (action shots, portraits, indoors, etc.). The zoom has an incredible range and I've taken great shots at both ends; I really think this lens will remain on my Rebel XTi for the foreseeable future. Also, my wife was impressed with a number of my shots (and she's VERY critical of me and "my toys"). from Amazon.com This has been rated elsewhere as the best all-around lens on the market, and I fully agree. The only thing that would make it better would be if it had image stabilization of course. For the way we use a lens like this , the IS is not as huge of a factor as one might think. I have Canon's 100-400MM 'L' lens, and with that lens and application the IS is extremely helpful. from Amazon.com This is a surprisingly good lens for such a large zoom range. First, the pros: from Amazon.com After dropping my camera with my Tamron 18-200 on it I bought the 18-250. Seems to be equally sharp although some reviewers say the 250 is better than the 200. from Amazon.com I was able to "test drive" this lens from the local photo dealer as at the time, the Nikon 18-200 VR was not in stock, and the price was quite attractive. But let me cut to the chase... Tamron makes good lenses, let's not kid anyone. I have a 28-85 XR DI f2.8 for my Canon, and it is an exceptional lens. from Amazon.com
