I am a novice photographer who just started a few months ago. I own a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 18-55mm and a Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens. I did some research for an all-in-one zoom lens, and I was to compare the Sigma 18-270mm, 18-250mm, Tamron 18-250mm, Nikkor 18-200mm VRII and Nikkor 28-300mm VR. After reading all the comments, reviews and price differences between locations, Tamron 18-270mm Di II VC LD PCD will like my best choice. I always do a thorough research before buying things to make sure I get the right value for my money. The reasons why I chose this lens is that it is a smaller version of the original Tamron 18-270mm. It also comes with new Piezo Drive, resulting in a smaller and lighter size. So far I have shot a number of tests low-light indoor shots, and I am impressed by the sharpness and quality. I will post an update over the weekend, when I take it out on an outdoor unit. So far I am very happy with this lens.
UPDATE: 1/23/11:
I took some outdoor shots in close and regular distance shots, and I am impressed by the quality and sharpness. I took close pictures of plants and trees in my garden, and it almost looks as if you have a macro glass. Speaking of macro, Amazon has it described as both a macro-zoom lens on the name. Not true. Compared with other sites such as Tamron and B & H, which BTW is reputable sites, it is not, nor does it describe it as a macro lens. As I mentioned earlier, I am a novice photographer, so I could be wrong. If yes, please let me know, and what settings you use to make it a macro lens by leaving comments, which I would appreciate it (a part of learning). Apart from that, I still love this lens. This is likely to be in my camera for a long time. I recommend this tube to anyone seeking an all-in-one glass.
