I'd been wanting to get this lens since I first read a review on it, but also wanted to wait a bit to see how fast the price would drop (being an early adopter gets expensive all the time!!) Then an upcoming trip to Germany in November of 2009 made it a necessity for me by then! A family wedding in September clinched it so I bought it for myself for my birthday to use and get used to it on that trip. from Amazon.com I was so excited to get this lens. I felt like it would fill a gap I have had with my current lenses. from Amazon.com Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras from Amazon.com I purchased this Tamron lens based on a prior 18-200mm Tamron lens for my D70. As predicted, it works wonderfully. from Amazon.com I tried every lens worth trying on my Nikon D5000 looking for a single lens for multi-purpose use. If you are a real wedding photographer or genuine professional photographer you will not be using this lens or a Nikon D-series camera anyway. from Amazon.com The lens has great range, going from 18-270mm, BUT it didn't move smoothly through the range and didn't feel as well made as a Nikon lens, so I returned it. from Amazon.com I was shopping around for an all in one consumer grade lens. After a lot of research, I settled for the Tamron 18-270 and Nikon 18-200m. from Amazon.com Its really a great all around lens which is exactly what I was looking for (I hate changing lenses). I looked in detail at them all - Nikon / Sigma / etc. from Amazon.com I got the Nikon mount and feel this lens is a better choice than both Nikon and canon 18-200 except focusing speed but it is not really bad at all. Its VR is exceptional even at 270mm. from Amazon.com I'd like to start by saying that my lens does not suffer from the "zoom creep" or slow focusing when zoomed in that just about everyone mentions when critiquing this lens. Maybe I'm just lucky, but the zoom feels strong and just stiff enough to keep the lens from folding out/in when tilted up/down (perhaps a little too stiff, but this is much more welcome than creep). from Amazon.com
