Comments: Are these lens worth the price?

[psccy]

I have been hunting for a tamron 11-18mm for quite a while and the best price in SG is $799.

As I am going to australia, I found a package which seems quite good. Wanna check with all you bros for your comments.

and what would they be worth individually? $799 for the 11-18 sounds reasonable though not a bargain price. that would leave the 18-250 at $761 -- for a moment let's forget about bargain prices, and assume there's no real bundle discount. is that a good/ reasonable price for the 18-250?

well....... would say that if TS is urgently needing one, the extra 100 bucks should be ok. but it is not a bargain buy.
