RE: Tamron 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD – A Perfect Travel lens?

It's a valid lens to consider as a good all-rounder, it has the wide and narrow ranges covered, so long as you don't mind the slower aperture and at the 300 range.

I still have their 18-250 from 2008 here, it's not one I use often anymore as I've moved onto newer lens designs. But if you are new or just sick of constant lens changing, this really is a good route to go.

The whole thing about the price though, It's Tamron, I paid £200 for the 18-250 and £500 for their 70-200 f2.8 which is a total steal next to the first party models! Got to love a value for money price with good performance!
