[QUOTE="DEANO3528, post: 323464, member: 27114"] Yeah apologies in advance for another boring lens question. I did have a search and sort of got what I wanted, but as I'm tight, sorry 'budgeting', I want to make sure. Okay a guy I know bought the Tamron 18-270mm f3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD, really loves it and gets some really fantastic shots. Question is, is it for me? I envisage using it mostly for air displays, maybe a little wildlife and as a general 'travel lens' as I've seen it gets called. However at a similar(-ish) price I can buy a Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 SP Di VC USD. So it's a little slower but it's got 30mm more up top and there's no substitute for cubes (so to speak). I had a look at the lens simulator posted up here and to be frank, there's not a lot of difference between 270 and 300, that I can see! So bearing in mind the use I wish to put it to, and the results I have seen from my acquaintance, does the collective feel the 18-270 would be a good starter, longer range lens over the kit 18-55? Thank you in advance for any help/guidance. [/QUOTE]
