The general feeling is that the original Tamron/Pentax were dogs.

3.5-4.5 50-200 zoom. It takes very nice pictures. Sharp, nice (but not the

With Sigma, one cannot judge their built quality by how they felt, but need
to actually use them for a period

The Pentax FA / Tamron 28-200/3.8-5.6 (I understand that these are

The Sigma 28-200/3.5-5.6
