Tamron 18-200mm $289-$60MIB= 229 w/6yr wty. for Canonon, Sony, Nikon(w/built in motor)

[pRICE cUBE]

If you are looking for a wide and tele in one approach for not that much $. Not as crazy good optically as say a Canon L series but it is what it is, a nice multipurpose lens. Save yourself the trouble and the dust of swapping you 18-55 lens with a 55-200mm.

6 year warranty.

Please note, the tamron zooms opposite direction of Canon's zooms. The Sigma 18-200 which costs more zooms the Canon direction.

Yes Nikon d40, d40x, d60, d5000 users, this has a motor in it so you CAN autofocus.

So you may not have image stabilizer but the $ you save you can get yourself a nice 50mm 1.8 or 85mm 1.8 for low light shooting.

Good deal.

Will it work with D50 (or other focus-cam-equipped Nikons)?

[pRICE cUBE]

It will work on the D50 because the motor is on the lens. When a lens has a built in motor, the pin motor in the body defers.

Bodies such as the d40, d40x d60 d5000 d3000 all need lenses that have built in motors to function. Since the D50 has a pin motor, you can use older nikon lenses that use pin motor and save $ such as the 50mm 1.8 for $100.

Yes, Canon EOS lenses from the start have had the motors built in the lens, no worries, no figuring out anything. Only downside might be the counter clockwise zoom. For most people it is not an issue. When I shoot action/sports I tend to work off muscle memory so it messes me up.
