Default Confused about this Tamron lens

The deal here is that my kit lens I got with my D90 broke (18-105mm) and the only other lens I have is my 50mm. I want to get my 18-105 repaired but I'm antsy about waiting who knows how long until I get it back.

I am looking at this used Tamron lens described as "TAMRON 18-200 3.5/6.3 XRDI-II LD F/NKAF"

I'm interesting in purchasing it but I can't seem to determine if its a Nikon or a Canon mount lens. I'm guessing the NK at the end might be referring to Nikon but I don't want to buy it until I'm sure.

Anyhow, I know this is probably a silly question but I've tried to figure it out myself by searching around but I've come up with nothing conclusive. Thanks in advance for any help.

That would be my guess, as well. But, it's not my money that's being spent on it. Can you ask the person that has it if it's for a Nikon?

I like to check these kinds of things on Amazon where they always have great descriptions

Amazon.com: TAMRON 18-200 3.5/6.3 XRDI-II LD F/NKAF

I have the one for Pentax and I am very happy with it. It may not be the best quality lens in the world, but I love having the range as an all around good walking around lens.

Thank you both for your replies. I think I'll try to inquire about it to make certain. I had checked out Amazon as well. I believe its the third one pictured.

And your testimony to it being a good walk around lens is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thats precisely what I'm wanting one for.

Thanks again!
