Tamron lineup

I believe Tamron has FTM only on USD lenses.

I think you are right, the four I listed as their good lenses are all USD and have FTM.

I own and love the Tamron sp70-300vc

So, I'm reading on this, and other threads, that it depends on your budget, and what you photograph. I'm leaning toward a bundle with the 18-55mm kit lens, and the 55-250 kit lens. When I buy my T3i, that will be my choices. If I should come into some money, I'd consider "L" lenses. My photography is mostly varied subjects, walkaround, machinery and machining, and family. Nothing fast moving or fleeting. My current camera is a Powershot.

I submit articles to two magazines, with the Powershot, and they get published. How much more so with a T3i?! Savin' up and eagerly anticipating.

I've read the advice. I appreciate it.
