I've resolved just yesterday to, take the 28 - 200 out of my camera bag and box it up and put it in the garage. While it's a fairly good lens for snapshots, I am getting more unenamoured?? with it as time goes on. It's just not sharp enough for serious work. I'm going to need a 200 or 300mm

Tom, I bought a 28~200 (Re-badged Tamron) when they first came out. Had a, rarely accepted, wedding shoot coming up. I ran some quick tests and found it produced some pretty poor images, especially at 200mm. Probably unfair, but I compared it to those shot at 200mm with my A 70~210 f/4. Sold it
