hi, for my bicycle ride in the himalayas this summer, i need to keep the things i take to a bare essential minimum. as for the camera gear, since i can't afford to take multiple lenses, i was thinking of getting the sigma 17-70 (older version). but after a month of trying, it's just not available here and it doesnt' look as if the situation is going to change. what *is* available is the tamron 18-250. it looks like a very convenient travel lens but i would like to hear the opinion of people here who have used it before buying it. so, appreciate and welcome your inputs.
