I have the latest model, the 18-400 (Canon EF) I'm happy with it, though I rarely use it as I have a full complement of faster, more normal (as in 3-1 zoom ratio) lenses. Bought it for the times when I want to go light. Turns out that's not very often.
I have had many Tamrons in the past. The latest one I bought had a tight spot mid range when I bought it.It slowly got worse. I sent it in and got it repaired under warranty. It lasted about 6 moths and has gone bad again and of course it's out of warranty.
