Any VC issue with this lens?

Some websites report that pictures are blurred when VC is activated.

Just got it from Alan photo, quoted 1060 compared to cathay's 1115.

Pros: Can barely hear the mechanisms working, really quiet.
Awesome zoom range.
Light and compact.

Cons: When using liveview, takes about 3-5 seconds to get the subject locked on.
Image quality not as good as an L lens.
Made in china.
Distortion quite obvious @18mm compared to kit lenses.

Other than that, it's a pretty good lens. Recommended for those looking for a travel lens and a 'does all you need' lens.
Cheers

thanks for answering the artworkfoto question.

i thought the liveview was a function of the body and not the lens. anyway, is this available for the a-mount? is it better than the sony 18-250 one?

$1060 is Tamron warranty? how many years?
$900 Artworkfoto is only in-house warranty...

Smells like a grey set

Remember Sony mount lenses do not come with VC as all stabilization is all done in camera body.

So very possible that it is cheaper.

Interesting that they shave price off the same lens for different mount. I guess probably it's becos I never research into other brands other than nikon and canon.

VC works well if you are shooting with handhold. With tripod, somehow it also works when shooting during the daytime but definitely it has to be switched off if shooting at low light....Well, some may say that as long as it is on tripod, VC should be 'OFF' as advocate by manuals, professional magazines etc....BUT no harm trying to shoot some photos during daytime, zoom in and see for yourself and let me know...By the way, enable mirror lock and use at least 2 sec timer to eliminate residue shake...
