Tamron lens for Canon Rebel 2000 I have just purchased a Canon Rebel 2000 and Tamron's new 28-200XR lens. I was hoping to get a lens that would be sort of all purpose and especially liked this one because of the size and weight. I don't really know much about the different specs. so that's about all I have to base my decision on. Since I bought it yesterday I've been doing some reading about lenses online and I am sort of worried that I bought the wrong thing. Is there such a thing as an all-purpose lens or am I kidding myself? and will I be sorry that I didn't buy a canon lens instead? I will shoot snapshots, some travel photos and hopefully a bit of wildlife, but I don't expect to focus (no pun intended :-)) on any one of these genres. FYI - I actually went shopping for a point-and-shoot camera because my a-1 is heavy and I was attracted to the idea of the zoom, flash, auto wind, etc. all in one. I quickly figured out that I was not going to be happy a p-n-s and that's how I ended up with this set-up. Any opinions about whether I spent my $310 wisely? Thanks in advance for any feedback you can offer. Kim

Gosh Kim, Everyone has their opinions, but not knowing what you've been reading about lenses, I have found that your lens gets very favorable reviews from almost all the owner reviewers at this site: http://www.photographyreview.com Find your lens there and see what they have to say. I checked for the online prices at B&H and Adorama and $310 is a very good price. I think you made a good buy and you should be happy when you finally get back some photos. Don't have buyers remorse, you will enjoy the lens!

Tony, Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. I'm not sure how I missed the photographyreview site, but it's wonderful. Thanks for pointing me there. I read the reviews and you're right, it does look like I made a good buy, especially for my level of (non)expertise. Take care, and thanks again.
