Anyone have Tamron's new 28-300 XR Di Lens?
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 something similiar). Does anyone have this lens and might be willing to share some sample photos? TIA & Merry Christmas to everyone! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Soon got rid of it and bought the Canon 28-135 IS lens to replace it. I found it to be rather soft. However, I'm willing to believe it might have been partly due to me being new to digital and not processing the files as well as they could have been. I have been tempted to give the 28-300 another go as a "walking about" lens for the istD. I can't believe it could be any worse than the apalling Sigma 70-300 Apo Macro Super I have at the moment.

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. Tom C.
