I have no experience of the 4-5.6/28-105 but it is indeed made by Tamron - which in itself is not so bad. I have had the 4.0/28-70 which is, however, as very good lens so I doubt that the 28-105 will not be as good. If you need longer and wider reach, I would recommend the 3.5-4.5/24-90 - a lens I really like and IMO even slightly sharper than the 28-70. All the best!
