This was the first "good" lens I ever bought. Ended up grabbing the 70-180 as well though it's very rarely used. Great lens though and I highly recommend it.

I recommend the Tamron personally (we have both). IMO I like the color of it more, it's much lighter and I like that all the tamron lenses can use the same filters (or at least I think so)

sold my 28-75 for 28-200 for travel, but the 28-75 was a nice lens as well. The 28200 range is just more suitable for travel.

A lot of people like Zeiss coated lenses or Prime lenses for the 3d pop

3D POP or microcontrast is a subject of hot debate. I'd look it up, see some images, if you cant pick out any substantial differences between a zeiss and some other lens, then it shouldn't be a deciding factor. Heck, we got one website saying the Otus lenses ditched microcontrast for sharpness and another website saying they are the best lenses for microcontrast.
That's coming from someone who owns milvus and Otus lenses, my main lens? 35mm 1.4 g-master. Surely I'm missing out on something right? The point is if you are lacking in the essentials of photography, no amount of "3D pop" will save you.

I would get this tamron lens for its versatility, say you shoot pics of your daily life and don't mind the bulk, the focal range and relatively fast 2.8 is ideal especially coupled with your Sony ISO performance.

I would NOT get this lens because of its focusing issues. Any lens maker that sells you a dock so you can adjust the focusing, it's like they anticipate it shipping with these issues. With that said, I still use my old canon dslr extensively and my favorite lens is actually the tamron sp 35. I've had to fiddle with its back focusing issues many times over but when it nails focusing, it produces great images.

I think sigma has really pushed the boundaries of what a 3rd party lens can do with their art lenses and for a while there, they left Tamron in the dust but tamron has caught up and IMHO have surpassed Sigma.

Just picked up for $634.59, awesome price. Had just ordered it 2 days ago for $699 from Amazon itself, so I was fortunate enough it had not been shipped yet and cancelled.

love this lens. It basically lives on my sony. It covers a broad enough range that I almost never need to switch to anything else. it's perfect for travel and relatively portable. performance is great. i chose this over sigma because this one is a little more portable and smaller.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a all around zoom lens for travel.
