Heck, one more lens post for me today.  Another lens I came across was this Tamron lens.  And again, not much experience with Tamron glass.  I'll be using this on a Sony A7 and would like to know what people thought of this lens, or Tamron glass in general.  I appreciate your feedback here.

18-200mm is a great walk around focal range to have, add on top of this fact that Tamron has been improving their optics and autofocus platforms lately.

The only Tamron lens I have is the 28-300 non VC. On my Nikon bodies it focuses slower than molasses in January. It is a good lens if you do not need to focus fast. Makes for a good walk around when I want both wide, and long. Also it is my if I hurt it, I am not going to be too upset over it lens, that is because it was cheap enough.

I think Tamron is coming up in quality with their lenses.  Now I don't own this lens, however I do have a friend who as of recently (last couple years) has been shooting with pretty much nothing but Tamron glass.  He seems to be happy.  This 18-200mm as pointed out already will make a good walk around lens.  That's my 2 cents.
