Has anyone used the Tamron 15x all in one lense? Advertised as 18 - 270mm. Would be nice to have a lense that does everything, but I think this would be too good to be true.

I also had this lens, but the first generation. I was on the list as soon as it was announced. I used it on my Nikon D60 and later D7000. It was pretty good, although not as sharp as the Nikkor 18-200 I replaced it with. Some vignetting at above 250, and the focus couldn't make up its mind in low light or low contrast subjects. The focus motor sounded like it was grinding coffee, but it never failed in 3 years. I'd have to say I'm happier with the 18-200 Nikkor, which as a refurb from Cameta Camera was about the same price as the Tamron. But then I don't take any artsy photos, so I like the tack sharp images with the Nikkor.

Had camera on trypod about 18" from the ground. Have cropped Images from the top to give it the panorama look.

I have the latest version, the PZD motor. I take a lot of general photos, as well as grandchildrens' sports and this lens works rather well for me. I think it's a bit sharper than the 18-250 edition that I had for several years[I never had the first 18-270 edition]. I have had some good images in low light, non-flash situations--but none with fast action. AF is a little slow in low-contrast, low-light situations. Is it perfect? No, nothing that I could afford is. For my $700, it is a very good lens.
To the writer that mentioned an inability to select drive options: I have a Canon 50D and I can select all my AF and drive options while using this lens--without any trouble.

You do not say what the f stop it is. The all in one wonder lens is a basic all rounder. Bit like a Medially not record breakers but they can do it.

The lens is an f/3.5 at the wide end and f/6.3 at the long end. This aperture range has remained the same for the 18-200, the 18-250, and both editions of the 18-270 lens from Tamron. Admittedly, it's a bit of a small aperture at the long [telephoto] end, but I have not had much trouble with it. Personally, I'd like to see them come up with a range like f/3.5-f/5.6. That would give better compatibility with most focusing systems.
