Tamron 16-300mm

[PepperT]

Has anyone had any experience with the new Tamron 16-300mm lens? I have a friend with a Canon who is considering it. He asked for my opinion but I've never used a Tamron and I shoot Nikon so I am of no use to him at all. Thanks.

This will depend a great deal on a) his expectations and b) what he wants to shoot and in what light conditions. Encourage him to elaborate.

I'm sorry I should have added that he plans on using this as his primary walk about lens. He shoots mostly outdoors. Wildlife and landscapes mostly.
