Absolutely, Joel. As a walkaround or primary lens, it's just about perfect - hard to think of another with such usability and range...any specialized lens would be better at a particular focal length or range - but none come close to the flexibility and compact packaging. I have 7 lenses I switch between, but the 18-250 is my primary walkaround and travel lens, and the default lens I go to unless I know I need one of the other lenses for a specific task. I'm always confident of this lens getting me a good shot in almost any scenario, and not having to swap lenses to shoot something wide followed by something distant.

WOW amazing. Love this picture. would you recommend this lens as a walk around lens?
I'm just starting into photography and was looking into a general lens to walk around with that has good zoom
