Tamron just released the wonderful AF18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II LD lens.
It’s a zoomlens with an enormous range, ready to mount on a number of DSLR cameras.

It zooms from wide-angle to a very nice tele-distance so it can do almost anything you like to do with your camera. What I appreciate very, very much is that it has a minimum focussing distance of only 45 cm!
This means that it is also a pretty good macro lens.

So is it the perfect lens, can you forget all other optics? No… the only thing lacking is an image stabilizer. That means that it will not be ideal in lesser light conditions. An SLR with in-built stabilizer might be the best match for this wonderful lens!
