Re: Tamron 18x250 mm (Walkabout Lens)

Same here - 18-200 which I've had for 3 years.

You have to accept some compromises - mine works best at around f/8 or f/11, it isn't the sharpest lens in the bag (though not bad at all), there is some CA in high contrast scenes, and the 200mm is actually nearer 180.

However, as a general purpose lens that is great for travelling light and/or if you don't want to do a lot of lens-swapping, I'd recommend it.
