Wow, does that means I am gay(no offense on sexuality) as I own a 550D? Haha...
Btw, anyone here used Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO lens before?

I am considering to get one, but havent got a chance to test it.
The reason I am looking at this lens is for the convenient of travelling around without carrying extra lens.
I know the image quality might not be as perfect comparing to those non-all-round-lens.

Or anyone here owns a all-round-lens, mind to share your opinions/experience?

ehh...no one here can help me? Or the question i asked was too noob T.T

Ohh...OK. That's fine then. How about other brand or type?

True, the main reason of the purpose of me wanted to buy all rounded lens is for easy travel, enjoy and capture memories into images , not for competition. I understand that there are advantages and disadvantages of all round lenses, I am not fuss about the image quality like need not to be 100% perfect and also I saw a lot of images taken by all rounded lenese, the quality is there.

I am looking for advise of which all rounded lens is more suitable for my purpose (50% scenery, 35% buildings, 10% people, 5% night shot) and suite my 550D as well.

Maybe some pro here can give their experience on all rounded lenses

Thanks for the info.
Btw, I saw from other forum mentioned that when zooming the lens (in certain range) it feels a bit hard/stuck, is this true?

Cool, might consider a external flash if budget still allow.

Hmm, I might need to go down to a shop and try out those lenses before making a final purchase decision.
I am thinking to avoid lens changing during my trip, therefore I am looking at all rounded lens.
But anyway, I'll take a look at 18-135mm and compare it to 18-270 before purchasing anything.

thanks for the info.
