Well, I should be receiving my Tamron 18-50mm VC f2.8 in the mail today... Can't wait to try it out! Had a chance to see it in person and test a few shots at a local camera store the other day, and decided it was by far the better buy between it and the Sigma equivalent lens which is retailing for more than $100 more than the Tamron...

And now, I am finished buying lenses. I've spent enough money already!
