The Tamron 24-135 handles well, is fairly sharp at all f-stops, and the magnification factor is handy, but it's not well suited for outdoor pics on a sunny day even with its tulip hood. Flares badly, to say the least. http://www.photolin.com/misc/flare.jpg Oh where's the Pentax Super Multi-Coating when you need it? -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
