Title: Wishful thinking
Product review: Having carried two cameras (Nikons with Nikor zooms) to give me a range of 28 to 300mm, I thought it would be great to have the same range and only have to lug one camera. Being a loyal Nikon fan and user, I was somewhat leary of the Tamron Brand. I did some research and used the lens to take some test rolls. The test results were fine. The Zomm action worked very hard in the beginning & Within six months it was so loose that you could not hang it over your shoulder without locking the lens, because it would extend to 300mm on its own. I just returned from Alaska and the Tamron was not satisfactory in my opinion. Half way through the trip it started to take longer for the auto-focus to focus - if it did at all. During a glacier trek it was damaged - I'm not getting it fixed! I'll lose 100mm and buy the Nikon 28-200 Zoom.
