Very satisfied with this lens with its wide focal range although the focusing ring is a bit stiff for fine tuning. Images are sharp relative to camera used, more than adequate for A4 prints. Overall, a great lens for run-around use. Recommend.

The lens is a good starter lens but there are a few issues. It is a stop or two darker than my nikon. It hunts for focus a bit and is a bit slower in focus. Pictures in the 70-150 are fairly sharp but soft above 150. All in all I've taken some good photos with it and I still keep it on a second body but I don't use it much anymore.

The Tamron 28-200 AF-D LD Aspherical lens I purchased had been converted to a Pentax screw mount. I purchased it for my very old Pentax Spotmatic 35mm film camera. I am excited to find a very modern, high powered optic. This is a very compact, lightweight zoom. I just love the fact that it mounts and works well with such an old camera. I am in love with the lightweight compared to older glass for this style of lens mount. I cannot say enough on how glad I am able to move up with new lens technology without leaving my trusty Pentax 35mm film camera.
The lens feels, well built and solid. Focuses quickly. Zoom is very smooth. It has become my go to lens on my D7000.

very small and lightweight. great all in one lens when you don't want to lug your camera bag. Picture quality not quit as good as a nikkor but for the price and my intended use a great lens. This is my 3rd Tamron and very satisfied with all 3.
