I remember back when superzooms were just for convenience, not image quality. Heck, zooms in general were compromising greatly on IQ back in the days of the film era, even in the very end of it. So now that I've used this Tamron 28-200 superzoom for Sony FE-mount for a while, I'm still quite baffled as to how good it can be. It's not only the sharpness that is mind boggling for a zoom, but also the colours and contrast rival those of much more expensive and exotic lenses.
I use this superzoom in a combo with the Tamron 17-28/2.8, and in landscape use they've proven to rival and at times even best the performance of some venerable Red Ringed lenses I've owned in the past. Never would I have thought that what I'd give up choosing a superzoom over separate standard and tele zooms is mostly only weight, complexity and price.
So, post your work with this wonderful little beast of a lens!
