Comments about Tamron Tamron 18 - 200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR DI-II LD Aspherical (IF) AF Zoom Lens with Macro, for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - U.S.A. Warranty:

As a dad primarily interested in documenting family events and capturing great candids of my kids, I don't see the need for another lens. If all things were equal, I'd love to have Nikon's VR, but I'm not sure it's worth since it's almost twice as expensive. Also, when I shoot at higher focal lengths, I'm generally outside during the day, so shutter speed is not typically an issue for me.

Aside from the missing VR, my only other complaint is that when you carry the camera around with this lens on it, unless you have the lens locked, it extends by itself. It's kind of annoying but not a deal breaker.

THE LENS IS ALL THAT IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE. MY IMAGES ARE SHARP AT ALL POSITIONS.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHEN YOU SHOOT DOWN THE LENS ZOOMS SLIGHTLY FORWARD.
