I haven't actually shot any photos with one but I have handled them a few times in camera stores, I was very impressed with it's build quality and manual focusing. What it reminded me of most was the smc-P FA 28-200 which was also made by Tamron. Looks and feels like it's little brother. If it follows the lead of the 28-200 it will be on the low end of mediocre on film but fairly nice on a D body.

Hi!

I realize that this has been discussed to dust (if there is such a term)... So let's make it brief, shall we. :-)

How good/bad performs SMC FA 28-105/4-5.6 (not power zoom, but Tamron rebadged lens) compared to 28-70/4 AL. I do realize that it is going to be 35 mm longer. I am however interested in the rest of the differences.

Thanks.

Boris
