I do most of my shooting on trips, so I'm on my feet all day walking about town or wherever I am, therefore versatility and convenience are key factors for me, much more so than speed and absolute sharpness. I love the fact that I can do essentially everything with the one lens (except for the extreme wide angle stuff since I can't justify buying a full-frame camera). So I've got one body, two lenses (one of them on my camera, the other in a fanny pack) and that's all I need to carry for a full days worth of photography. Therefore the Tamron suits me perfectly. If you want lightweight and convenience, it's a great lens to use! And for what you get, it's very reasonably priced indeed. I'm looking forward to many years of great travels with it!

The Tamron 10-24 is also an excellent wide angle lens that will go good with 18-400. The two will just about cover everything....Rich

I already have a used Sigma 10-22 that I picked up a few years ago. That and the Tamron are my go-to lenses and I love them both. There's a lot to be said for traveling light!
