[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 226758, member: 18251"] Well, it's not just the "overlapping" (whereas nickt has made a good point). To my opinion, the 18-105 (kit) suffers from mechanical problems - I have heard (and actually saw a few such pieces) a lot of complaints regarding it's filmsy built - it's zoom ring is prone to falling off the tubus (that sort of isolating rubber layer underneath causing the problem+lots of wobbling) and it's af is prone to "hunting" more than on 18-55 (kit). On the other hand, I had a chance to use the aforementioned Tamron (non-vc) the other day at a birthday party, and I was amazed with what this little bustard can do (and with how robust it is!)!:cool: I would have purchased it myself if it wasn't for the fact it's a "DX only" lens (I hate the idea of one day, owning a FF Nikon, to be forced into using the lens in DX crop mode - so I have made my mind up never to purchase the Nikon bayonet lens that does not cover full frame sensor)...
