The one I tried was soft at 28 and soft at 200, okay in the middle. My
SMC-M 28mm f2.8 outperformed it wide open, and I consider that lens
pretty much useless wide open.
The Tamron/Pentax may be better than other 28-200s by a significant
margin, but the one I tried was a pretty mediocre performer. Of course,
I'm spoiled by primes and I like to make big prints.
