Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC LD Asph. AF Macro Lens for Select Canon Digital SLRNeed your help please peeps - what's the cheapest you can find the above in the UK inc. delivery, if possible  I know bugger all about such things  I'm doing this as a favour for someone but I'm not gonna get into the specifics of lenses etc with them, so don't you worry about it either - far as I'm concerned that's their problem

Amazon are listing it at £409 (can't vouch for delivery as it looks like a third party store). ClicktyWarehouse Express, which are usually the best price on the net and include delivery have it for £448.99.

Really? I have a 28-300mm, which isn't far off the same. I didn't think it was that unusual, to be honest. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I guess it depends on the aperture of the lens. Mark

Perhaps it's out dated these days, but I thought the advice was to stick to zooms with a 3x factor - so a 18-55mm, or a 70-200mm for example.

It's about the same price as the telephoto lens that I've got my eye on. Mark

Tidy, and even the postage to NI is free (bone of contention that most of the time), many thanks! _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I still reckon it's best to come over here to buy camera stuff. And I also think you need to buy more camera stuff (8-p)
