SerreChe 2 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'll keep that in the back of my mind BP. If I ever get the 18-200 and think I can do without one or the other will let you know. How's the 18-200 anyway? As good as they say? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 mate, I love it! See the pic I posted on the previous page I couldn't have got the same clarity from my tamron. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 you need to have both lenses and take identical shots, then we can judge if it was worth as many timtams as you paid Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 it's all in the ED glass and the coating. Believe the hype and pay for it. It's true. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 yep Thursday is right. And CB, I won't waste my time changing to the Tamron and missing a shot Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Never heard much good about the Tamrons except for the price. You pay peanuts you get monkeys ? Never trust a lense which has a name that sounds like a ladies personal hygiene item. btw what is an ED glass? Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I haven't had too much bad to say for the tamron I had. For what I paid it did a pretty good job. Not everyone can fork out for a nice expensive lens. But now that I know the difference I won't be switching back any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites
