Use it as a GENERAL PURPOSE 'take-a-long' when I don't plan on taking specific photos BUT want to be prepared for 'the whatever opportunity'!!

Amazingly versatile lens!! Not quite as sharp as Nikkor glass, but what do you expect for the price? Able to cover all assignments at an air show with out changing lenses (except for a few shots with my 400--which I'm sorry I changed to. Found the autofocus a bit "flaky," but that might be due to weakness in my D100's motor, not the fault of the lens. I originally thought the manual focus ring was in an awkward position; but after shooting with it extensively I feel it is perfectly placed. Mea culpa!

This is a great lense for the mony. If you are a traveling man then this is for you. I am using it with a Nikon D200

Experience the great power of a 14x zoom range and enjoy an amazing 2 in 1 zoom. Tamron's new high-power 18-250mm zoom is a photographer's dream come true a single lens capable of shooting both wide angle and ultra telephoto scenes.
Conventional 35mm film cameras always required two lenses to handle the 28-400mm range. But Tamron's new high-power zoom at 13.9x, the world's most powerful zoom delivers all the photographic freedom of this enormous range in a single, compact lens.
The life of a digital photographer has never been better with this take-it-anywhere All-in-One lens, the ultimate high-power zoom for seamless shooting. *Like a 28-400mm lens in 35mm format.
Di-II inherits all of the optical benefits of the Di design. Di-II lenses are made for exclusive use on digital cameras with image sensors 24mm x 16mm and smaller and are not intended for use on full-frame D-SLRs or film cameras.
The 18-250mm Di-II lens provides approximately the 35mm equivalent of 27-387mm on digital SLRs with24mm x 16mm or smaller size imagers.
