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

I don't have the Tamron non-VC, so I can't comment from personal experience. All the reviews say the optics are good, and better than the VC version.

I have read lots of people complain about the AF in low light for the less expensive lens. That would be a caution for me. None of them complain about AF in bright light, but I would want an F2.8 zoom lens for use when the lighting gets low.
