And yes, despite its rather significant zoom creep, the "Penron" 18-250 is a remarkably good lens.
Sounds like a similar focal length "greed" from Fuji, they replaced 28-300mm on 6MP S6000FD ZLR camera with 28-400mm on successor S1000FS and they doomed, 28-300 was an incredible lens but 28-400 simply horrid soft lens, their sales dropped, they deserved it.
Hope it won't be the same story.
