I can only speak for this lens and the old tamron 28-200, but I assume you
will get the newer one. This is great glass. Distortion is kept to a
minimum, the USM makes it lightning fast and quiet. I use this lens when
I need a good general purpose lens. I would not recommend it for low
light or portrait situations when you want a large aperature. At the 28mm
side it is bearable, but at the 200 side it is not. Course, this is
expected because it is not an L lens :)
Hope this helps.
