  • Tamron 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 XR Aspherical IF Macro AF

    8 out of 10 points and recommended
    Light, Cheap, Sharp, Color rendering, focal length.
    Nothing really, for that price i paid..

    I got this lens on e-bay, it was attached to a 35mm film camera, i got both for $30!
    I think this is a very decent lens, considering the cost and the zoom focal range, its (relatively) very sharp, pretty much at any aperture and focal length, The Bokeh is very good, and the color rendering superior to many more expansive lenses, and you can go from almost a wide angle to a decent reach telephoto lens.
    As someone said, the lens seems soft at 200mm simply because it is normally used hand held, but place the camera on a tripod and the result will be surprising.
