Great lens, prima Schärfeverlauf in all focal lengths, no distortion, great colors, etc. What more could you want? Image stabilization? I do not need, were previously grouped in the analog time indeed not. I am thrilled with this lens, everything possible had tried, for example. the Sigma 18-250 with stabilizer, but this Tamron speaks high of its own. If I screw again on my Canon EOS 600D. Excellent !!!
