 | Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $536.99 Super zooms offer the best convenience though you trade in some optical quality. Image Stabilization is a big plus when your indoors like museums. For travel photography changing lenses often is not a pleasant experience and you will soon irritate your travel partners :) Stick to a light weight single-lens-do-it-all solution. If your using a Nikon body go with the 18-200 VR nikon lens.
