| May 13, 2012 at 13:20 | comment | added | IMB | FWIT I have a Tamron 18-250mm, I am not a professional but it works for me as a casual user. It is particularly useful when you need a quick zoom in beaches when someone hot passes by LOL. If anything, I think the auto-focus is not as fast as my Nikkor kit lens. I cannot comment on the quality vs Nikkor since I have not used a telephoto Nikkor. | |

It means "trying to make a living from this", which often means taking a practical approach, which may be very different from what's best for 1) an enthusiast, 2) an artist, or 3) a professional working in a different space — let alone different from what's best for the casual vacation photographer. | |

I think this better summarizes the question than the previous edit.

| May 12, 2012 at 13:14 | comment | added | Michael H. | I have a friend who was advised to buy an 18-200 instead of two separate lenses to avoid the chance of getting dust inside the system. The advice was from a professional photographer, and surprised me a bit; while I'm certainly not a professional, I go through phases of changing lenses several times a day, and I don't think I've been harmed by it. Opinions? | |
