  • Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical IF SP AF

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Very nice lens all around, f/2.8 is great.
    Makes you want to buy more f/2.8 lenses.

    I decided to try it for indoor no flash photos of our children and it has been really great. It is far better than I had expected.

  • Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical IF AF

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Very nice lens all around, great for the price.
    When in manual focus it is not very smooth.

    I decided to try it because the price and availability of the Nikon 18-200mm VR. The VR would be good for shooting at 200mm in low light. It is far better than I had expected.
