Latest Review Posted	Tamron Di II LD AF 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 Bought this lens with my K10D because it was all they had in a Pentax mount. Used almost exclusively for the first 2 years. The only draw back which made me look for another lens was it's speed in low light. Dropped it on the gym floor when it rolled out of my bag. Thought I lost it for sure. The aperture now will cut out without warning but just touching the focus ring brings it back. I was concerned that the IQ might have been affected but a simple comparison test with with my DA* 50-135 shows no appreciable degradation. So, other than the lack of WR and a slow aperture, its IQ is nearly as good as the pro grade lenses.
