Apologies, I think you can't post RAW photos here. Perhaps maybe JPEG.
Wow $930 was a quote from who?

Is that quote for the nikon mount version?
I believe the Nikon mount comes with built in motor so should be able to AF on D40. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Cool, thanks very much Keltong!
Bring along you D40 to ensure it focus on your body. It should state BIM for Nikon mount
See the lense specs at below tamron web site

Not sure if they have the stock for Canon mount before I fly off to HK.
Looks like it may be worth while to buy it in HK where it is about SGD800-810 if it stays at 930.

Found a link from dpreview with pics shot with 400D and 18-270mm:

Anyone who bought it in SG yet can comment about image quality?

The review has been done and I think the 18-270 is not bad.

But if you have an 18-200, the 'upgrade' isn't worth it. However, if you don't have an 'all round travel lens' ; I think the 18-270 would be the optimum choice.
I'm not really agreeing with the price for the Canon mount. However, it seems to be similarly priced in the US market (USD$630 approx. SGD$940); price for the US market was taken from Amazon.

Is Canon mount available? From what I know from Cathay, they say it is for Nikon only.
You need to read the previous posts. MS Color: $930 (Canon Mount)
