[QUOTE="JohnFrench, post: 319782, member: 6063"] Anyone here own one yet? I am thinking about it. I have a Nikon 18-300mm old style, but it is HEAVY. 06-29-14 Update: I got one, on the spur of the moment. Took it out the same day, and it did as least as good as my Nikon 18-300, quite a bit better (to me) at some focal lengths. The big thing is the size and weight, much smaller than the Nikon, and much lighter in weight. I generally take photos to post on the internet on an internet blog of the city I grew up in, and a page I have on FB with over 10000 fans, with the subject the same as the blog. But I do like to be able to crop for close detail in some photos, and after working with the photos using the Tamron, I noticed right away they were a bit better that Nikon. Not as dark, sharper throughout the range, and generally I was just happier with the photos. Maybe it is me playing a mind game with myself just wanting a difference. Overall, at this point I am glad I got the lens, and am happy with the performance of the lens, more so than the Nikon when I bought it. Now I still have a Tamron 150-500 I need to get out and see how that does, but I have a niggling pain in my right leg, which I have a good idea is a slipped disk in my back. Having had two operations before for this, the symptoms have become familiar. So I am relegated to hopping out of car for a few minutes here and there to grab photos. So using the 150-500 when be on standby for a while. [/QUOTE]
