The 18-200mm (28-300 when converted to 35mm) provides the digital photographer with the versatility of a true wide to ultra tele zoom in an amazingly easy to use design.

only useful to store the lense
There is no aditional macro feature as mentioned. As per user guide, when the lense is at 200mm, the lense can be used as macro. Doesnt make sense. The lock feature works only at 18mm. i.e, only useful to store the lense. nothing like an aditional feature.

"Cant Be Good at Everything"
As a novie in the world of DSLR I bought this lens as its focal lenth meant I could lessen the risk of getting dust on my cameras sensor through lens changing. I also wanted a lens that would limit the amount of kit I needed when taking my camera on a trip and this made this lens ideal.
Pros:
- Light One Lens Solution
Cons:
- Soft edges at wide end

Good for the Price
The first thing I noticed was that it doesn't zoom all the way out to 200mm. There is almost no difference between 135mm and 200mm. I compared the focal length between it's 200 and my Tamron 70-300's 200mm, and there was a big difference. Still worth the money as a walk around lens.
Pros:
- Compact
- Internal Focusing
- Zoom Lock
Cons:
- Not 18-200mm (more like 18-135mm

Tamron
I've waited to review this lens until I had used it for several events. Although I have found that as some of the reviews some photos can be slightly 'soft'. It actually is a very practical lens and you can make this lens work for you.

I did not own this lens but one of my family member did foor less than a year. Indeed, even if the quality was not wonderful, even taking really great care of the gear did not prevent it from the lenses inside to move (it never fell or whatever) and gave a total ly blurry image.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- - No durability - Not so good for its price

NOT BAD IF YOU DON'T MIND FUZZ
I tried everything to make this lense work for me on my Rebel XT, and almost without fail it came up short. In almost all camera modes, aperture settings, and with the lowest ISO, photos were soft. My advice to anyone considering this lense, would be to get two lenses with smaller ranges...
Pros:
- Nice compact size
Cons:
- Poor focusing
- Detail was almost always lacking

Great all around lens.
If you can only take one lens, this i the one. It covers wide angle to telephoto with excellant optics. Its a great match for the Canon Digital Rebel. I'm sorry I purchased the standard Canon lens with the camera.
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Sharp Focus
