I bought this lens to put on the front of a Nikon D5200, so that i would never have to change a lens again. After studying reviews for quite a while and looking at photos taken with it i took the plunge, and it's a great lens. The zoom range is huge, the photos seem very clear, it focuses really quickly with the piezo mechanism, it does macro quite well, and i got it for $150 less than buying one locally.
Well I am not a camera buff and I have only now just bought a DSLR for myself for Christmas. I last owned an SLR in 80's and had used them for work from 60's. I read everything I could find on lenses and indeed travel camera's, this lens stood out. I at first wanted a Canon lens because of the name really - I could not justify to myself spending 1/3rd more dollars. This Tamron lens is fantastic, the photos are outstanding, it's ZOOM and a WIDE angle. A lower F would be great but that'd big $'s. I bought this to travel with and my album's have just gone up a click or two. Great for depth of field too. This is the lens you want if you have only one and or photography is not your main hobby.
Excelled lens for close ups or distance photos. Will be taking this lens on holidays for sure.

This lens looks and feels good quality, without the excessive price tag. It does exactly what it says on the label - great lens.
