Digital camera reviews of Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Upgraded from stock lense
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this lens to upgrade from the lense that came with my Rebel XTI. I used the "old" lens (18-50mm) on a two week trip to Scandinavia last year and did not bring a longer one due to luggage limits. I bought this one for a three week trip around the Canadian Maritimes this fall and it provided much more flexibility in the shots I could take using just one lens. As for improved quality of the photos, I guess its hard to say since I sharpen all of my photos and when framing an image in the view finder, I allow for a little cropping during post-processing in Photoshop. I much prefer it to the original lens for the range of shots I can take while travelling without having to switch out lenses.
