Default Tamron 18-250 mm lens

I have the Sigma 18-200 lens but someone was telling me he was waiting for the Tamron 18-250mm....well here it is ....! Hopefully once you buy it can give a review and comparison between the sigma 18-200 and the tamron 18-250!

I'll wait for someone else to do the reviews.

On the bright side, 50mm 1.4 coming in 3 days!

congrats!...bad news for me...after 8 weeks, I have to accept my 50mm 1.7 has been lost.
Now trying to see if the company will refund me the money. I should have insisted they used DHL or Fedex...
