Catching up and replying late, as usual. I would certainly second this
suggestion. I have used a Tamron 60-300 for a number of years now, (don't
have to say how many do I?) and although I have accumulated a decent stable
of Zuikos over the years, I still use the Tamron when traveling with the
family to avoid the need to stop and switch lenses all the time, or when I'm
getting that "Are you bringing a camera along again" look and then I just
say "sure, but I'm only taking two lenses." Usually works. It is an
excellent "zoo" lens and whille not a true macro, it gets close enough. If
you can find a good example of this lens I don't see how you can go wrong in
the long run. (My other zoom is a Soligor 24-45)
