I bought the Tamron 18-200mm as surf season is supposed to be coming and I needed one. Hopefully the waves will come soon. Since a few mos ago I've been using the Tamron 17-50mm and its a nice lens for taking portraits, quite sharp and built tough like a grenade.
The 18-200mm is cheaper than the 17-50mm by a few hundred dollars and it isn't that sharp but if in well lighted situations, i think it will be a good lens to have specially with the price and 200mm range. The AF goes crazy trying to focus in low light so its best to use Manual.
For Tamron and Sigma lenses, the most common problem is Err 01, which is faulty communication between the camera and lens. Once you have this, other people would say a firmware update or simply cleaning the contacts will fix it, but 99 percent of the time, it does not. So when you buy these brands, make sure it is still under warranty and thoroughly test the actual lens.
