Bill, For what it's worth, I had this lens for a brief period last year and found it to be an OK lens. The build quality was pretty good, the optics were good but not great. Still, for a carry around lens it's very versatile. I decided to sell it, but then, I do that with most of my zooms since I'm such a prime guy.
Here's a couple of shots taken with this lens (these are NOT hi-res scans), first the wide end: http://www.members.aol.com/figgaro/wideview.jpg Next, the tele end: http://www.members.aol.com/figgaro/tele.jpg Regards, -Brendan --- Bill Owens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks guys for the info on my Tamron 28-300.
