Originally posted by Marcus Rowland Fingers crossed, I just bought a Tamron 18-200 3.5-6.3 for my Nikon from Oxfam's web site - for £29.99! Assuming it's OK, I should be able to get rid of an 18-55 I never seem to use, and possibly think about selling off my Tamron 28-300 3.5-63, which really doesn't get much use at the long end, especially since I got a Vivitar 100-500 (manual focus but works well enough). The main reason not to is that it can handle full frame as well as APS-C, and I suppose there's a tiny chance I may want to go that route at some point. Though if I can ever afford something like that I could probably afford to buy something more up to date to go with it, that lens came with my D50 fourteen years ago and it was second hand then, so it really isn't the best reason in the world to keep it...
Package arrived today - unfortunately it's a completely different lens, a Tamron 80-300 for Olympus OM! Very unlike Oxfam who are pretty good about getting things right. I'll be posting it back on Monday, hoping they can find the real thing if it wasn't a huge mistake.
