Looks like Nikon 18-300mm 3.5-5.6 VR DX is on the way

You seem to really have liked that Tamron.
If you were replacing a 18-135 non-VR ( 14 ounces ) kit lens that's acting up, would you pick that (Tamron)( 16 ounces) over Nikon's 18-105 VR ( 15 ounces) ?
400 vs 600 $$
Except for price point, I don't ( want to ? ) understand 18-55 for a kit lens.


I used to use the 18-135mm, while sharp, the plastic mount warped and caused all sorts of issues.

I would pick the 18-270mm because I like having more telephoto reach for my everyday use. I don't find it to be too bulky but then again I am usually using larger lenses so the 18-270 is relatively light and compact.

WIth the 6 yr warranty, VC=VR, PZD=SWM, good build quality for the price, I really see no reason to get the Nikon version of any all in one lens.

Getting the 18-270 has been really nice for all around shooting. Sometimes that extra reach is just really nice to have.
