Great lens for full time use. IQ isn't 'L' quality but who can afford lenses like that? The Vibration Control enables me, at 75, to take photos at long end of lens, something I couldn't do on the 18-200 lens I had before this one. Service and delivery were great also.

A litlle PO by the fact that a week after I bought this lens they came out with an even better one.
None the less GREAT LENS, Great Price.

Great all-purpose lens. Not an expert photog, but the lens is very versatile and functions well. Good in moderate light as well. Would recommend the lens.

I am a novice photographer. Alot I do not know. I ordered this Tamron lense thru Amazon. When it arrived (timely), it caused my camera (Canon Rebel Xti)to shut down. Would not work. I contacted Tamron and explained the "error msg" I was getting from the camera and after brief conversation w/tech person at Tamron it was determined that the lens was flawed and for me to contact Amazon and explain this and get a replacement lens. Uh-Oh, right? Let me tell you that a call to Amazon was all it took. A new lens was shipped that day express mail (free of charge) with an authorization label to send the faulty lens back in the same box with charges reversed to them. The new Tamron lens arrived and is working beautifully on my camera. Bottom line? This is a fine lens and Amazon (in my opinion) is one great and reliable company that I will use without hesitation.

Disappointed with the lens. Not clear at all and very slow to focus. I returned it immediately.
