Tamron AF18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) zoom lens
Comments:

Review Verdict: Now on to the lens' performance! As you can see from the included photos (all hand held except for the newspaper shots) the lens produces exceptional images. That's an amazing feat for such a small lens packing a 13.9x zoom range. This is a sharp lens! Th

Review Verdict: A minimum focusing distance of 45 cm is maintained throughout the entire zoom range, providing a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.5 at the 250mm end of the zoom range. It's not true macro but it does provide some great close-up pictures. Internal focusi

I love that I can attach this lens to my Sony/Minolta A100 and use it as an "walk around" lens. It can take very good close ups and yet I can capture things far, far away also. I may not ever need another lens. Photos are sharp, detailed and the colors are true. I haven't found anything I don't like - unless it could come down in price a bit. But you know, they say, "You get what you pay for", and this lens is worth every penny!!
