-- Tamron AF 55 200mm F 4.0 5.6 Di II LD Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Pros:

Compact

Light-weight

Good feel/build, looks great too!

Wide coverage of focal lenghts



Cons:

Poor image quality

Loss of contrast



I bought this lens about six months ago for my Nikon D60, despite the fact that it would not auto-focus with my camera. Even when properly focused, I would notice a loss of saturation and contrast at longer focal lengths, and often the effects were beyond the help of photoshop. It was a shame; the lens really felt good in my hands; it was a decent size, good build to it, and the included hood was nice; just lacking in image quality.
