<p>So many breathtakingly beautiful pics....keeps me inspired!</p>

<p>Was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Tamron AF 18-200mm 3.5-6.3 XR Di II? I have a Nikon D50 & am looking at different lenses for wildlife photography. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks everybody! JDM...I had a Vivitar years ago & I was surprised that they were considered a "cheap" product now. What a shame. The one I had was great! Think I will save my pennies & get a Nikon. I've even been hearing some not so flattering talk about the Nikkor from Nikon. Things just aren't made like they used to be. Long for the good "old" days. Thanks again folks. It really helped!</p>

<p>Ok, Folks....Educate me, cuz there is nothing online that gives me the truth about this lens. All I find online is where I can buy it, but I don't trust the sellers to say the truth about the quality of this lens. I've never heard of it before. Is it an off brand? <br>

I'm just starting out in the Digital world & got my 2nd digital camera a few years back. My 1st was a Sony that took floppy's...haha...I know, this was yearsssss ago! Have been a die hard 35mm gal forever. Finally conceded & took the plunge & am loving it. Just have a Nikon D50 for now. And just bought a 55-200mm AF VR lens for taking portraits. So....what about this Pro Master? Any help would be greatly appreciated. <br>

Also, miss having a "hard copy" photo in my hands, as with 35mm photography. The quality was so much better. Where is the best place to have my digital photos printed. Thanks in advance for your time in answering. </p>

<p>Beautiful shot of the hummer. I'm just getting into the digital SLR world & I just bought a 55-200 VR for portraits. Please tell me I made the right choice for that. I do plan on buying the 70-300 VR down the road for wildlife shots. As I can see from the above photo, that's a good choice for wildlife. Plant my 700' deck with flowers that attract the little guys & hang feeders everywhere. They are so used to me sitting out there, they fly all around me. Hopefully, I'll be close enough w/my 55-200mm to get some great shots. <br>

I just found this site a few weeks ago & have learned so much about Digital on it...am grateful there are ppl out there willing to share what they know. Thanks.</p>
