Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Anyone using this?

How do you find the 70-200? It's also on the list for consideration.

Excellent IQ, even compared to the Nikon equivalent.
Focus is not as fast(as the VR or Sigma HSM lenses), but I wouldn't call it slow having gone from the 80-200/2.8 AF-D lens to the Tammy. About on par to the 80-200.

My only regret (now) is not having the image stabilisation feature of the Nikon or Sigma lenses.
Usually not a problem, but sometimes it is, and it'd be nicer to have and not use, in opposition to not having at all and missing a shot because of that fact.

At about $900, it's the best fast aperture 70-200 by a country mile if you can forgive the lack of image stabilisation.

I guess that one day I'll also get myself a high quality teleconverter of some description and see how well it performs with one of them too.
