RE: Anyone have Tamron's new 28-300 XR Di Lens?

[Tom C]

Nope, but I have the Tamron AF 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 LD Aspherical (IF) Macro.  
It's about 5 years old at this point... man seems like I just bought it 
yesterday.  I got it for my wife as her one all purpose lens for the ZX-10.  
She wants it back.

I'm not a nit-picker/hair-splitter when it comes to lens tests.  I've always 
been happy with the results from this lens when used with film and digital.  
I'll always prefer a prime, but when I need to travel light or be ready in 
an instant, this is the lens I put on.

This is the lens that has my interest.  My local
camera store says it is an excellent lens.  That it
even out-performed a Canon 28-135 IS lens (or
smething similiar).  Does anyone have this lens and
might be willing to share some sample photos?
TIA & Merry Christmas to everyone!
