I like photography, but is not a pro. I look forward to a professional review of this lens to examine the fine details, but no matter how it turns out, there's no doubt this will be the lens on my camera 90% of the time. Size, weight, range and build quality will only allow me to take my camera more places and allow me to see more pictures.
I also own a 20mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8 Primes and a normal zoom, Tamron 17-50 2.8 VC. The 18-270mm PZD certainly will not replace the need for a good low light conditions indoors or portrait lens, but frankly I no longer see the need for 17-50 VC. With the latest digital SLR achieve good results (even dynamic range) at ISO3200 and ISO6400 even in rough finishing, although a slower lens like this to get stable results (certainly up to 8x10). I can see a bit of barrel distortion when fully wide, but again that is fully corrected in the post.
I take all my pictures in RAW and run all the party through DXO - this process produces excellent results with this lens, but I assume that the distortion and speed would be annoying if I did not make such remediation or had an older body could not do any good HiISO. (Honestly, who performed with the M43, I would default DSLR makers will also produce lenses that explicitly takes into account the distortion correction possible by software. This can make for smaller lenses, but I digress)
Overall this is an excellent, very good lens. Large size and weight, very fast and quiet auto focus also on the 270mm, then indoors in low light ... with easily corrected deficiencies (and, frankly, I get a bit of a pixel Peeper ... even without finishing the pictures are very solid). For anyone who has bought and sold many (non-L, but not cheap) lenses over the years, this is a rare animal keeper. Excellent job Tamron! (Even if you can get me to sell my 17-50VC now ..)
