I bought Nikon D5100 and wish to buy the lens, not to expensive but with good zoom and not bad quality...

Is this lens Tamron A14 AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) - Nikon Mount would be a good option or would you offer me something else??? Thanks for suggestions.

Not too bad but personally I wouldn't really go for it.

I would suggest to split the range.

e.g.

Nikkor 18-105 VR

+

Tamron 70-300 VC

A DSLR allows for a big creative envelope and high quality results. But hinges on the lenses you get. To me, it makes little sense to get a DSLR (quite a big camera) and then put on a cheap superzoom lens only, which limits the camera both in creative possibilities and ultimate image quality.



Of course, size/weight and price can be factors for someone, but then a different kind of camera makes more sense?



I would make a similar suggestion as Klaus, I would suggest a Tamron 70-300mm VC USD + Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM.

But my guess is that the Tamron you asked about is partly chosen for its price, and the Sigma + Tamron will at least double that budget?

Yes i am trying get something for my budget and its 200eur So tamron is not that bad choice i think, special then i am only the beginner. But from another side i dont want to waist that 200E if that lense is not good enough, u know what i mean...

Frankly, in this case I would have gone with a double lens kit. The Nikkor 18-55 VR and 55-200 VR are actually quite decent. An extreme zoom lens like the 18-200mm is more so of a compromise.
