The current issue of the Tamron newsletter has an article about me using their 18-250 lens on family vacations. Okay, so it's not exactly National Geographic, but it's still nice.

I guess all my ravings about this lens paid off.

Way cool! Congratulations!!

That looks to be a very versatile lens too.

LSR · 06-13-2008, 10:59 AM

Congrats! Nice to be famous?

Very nice article. Congrats on the writeup!

rfortson · 06-13-2008, 11:52 AM

Thanks gang! It was a pleasant surprise when they asked if they could do the article. I'm also glad they printed "Pentax" in there as well. Gotta get that plug in there.

ftpaddict · 06-13-2008, 12:03 PM

Congratulations! And well deserved, too.

Next up, National Geographic!

Thanks! I don't think the NatGeo people need to worry just yet.

Thanks Gary. I can only take credit for the pictures, but I did make sure to get the Pentax mention in there.

I tried it, but the ink messed up my monitor.

I don't think they even offer a print version of this anymore, which is just as well. I could rarely find a copy. Of course, the electronic version is a little harder to read in my usual "library".

It's worthy of replying to twice! You are the man.... 8-)

Sure, abandon me for higher glory!

Cheers and congrats,
