Re: Sharper replacement for Tamron 18-270 (wide to mid range)?

Well, I went for the non-VC model as at the time there was a lot of talk that it had slightly better IQ, and I was mostly looking at moving subjects so I wasn't too worried about VC.

Since then I have seen a lot of people very happy with the VC model, some who had upgraded to it and found the IQ just as good or better, so now I'm starting to wonder if I would have been better off with the VC version.Not that I have had too many issues with what I have.

Without having the two myself I can't really comment on the comparison, but others seem happy with the VC lens.
