I wanted a lens with greater range than the kit lens and this one does the job. Compact and clear.

This lens is very easy to use out of the box. I use it with a Canon Rebel T3i and it takes amazing photos with a fantastic zoom. One thing I've noticed with my camera is that the AF sometimes doesn't function correctly, I have to power off my camera and power it back on then it works fine again.

I wanted a lens that would do almost 'all' for me, this does - it goes from 18mm to 270mm and it's a Tamron (excellent lens). I wanted to be a tourist but not haul all my equipment, and I did not /could not go back to a 'point and shoot' camera,,,,thus I bought this lens. It's almost the only one I use right now. I get great photos of all types and I am so happy I own it. Nothing negative to say about this lens and worth every penny.

I am a motorcycle traveler who loves to see things others can't, This lens and my canon 7d are compact enough and certainly the quality is very high to allow me to take great trip photos and movies.
