Title: Great lens
Review: I just purchased this lens for my Nikon D50 that I had been using the Nikkor 18-55mm and Nikkor 55-200mm lenses on. These were good lenses but it was becoming very annoying to have to swap lenses constantly. The Tamron lens is worth it just for convenience but it also takes great pictures. I have been playing with it for a few days and all my photos have looked as good if not better than with my previous lenses. I decided on the 18-200mm lens over the 18-250mm lens based on recommendations from friends that are amateur photographers, the reason being that once you get up to and over the 200mm range you really need image stabilization at the longer ranges. If I decide I need a lens with greater than 200mm zoom range then I will probably buy a true telephoto lens with image stabilization. So far I can't see why some reviewers gave this lens negative reviews and less than 4 stars. I think it will be serving by photography needs for years to come.
