I used this lens for Christmas and new years taking pictures of the family's and kids at Disney
and bush gardens this lens was great for full scenery,and close ups
it's small, easy to focus and light enough to carry all day with out strain. I think it is the best lens I have so far

Comments about Tamron Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di Aspherical (IF) Wide Angle-Telephoto Auto Focus Zoom Lens with Hood for Pentax AF - USA with 6 Year Warranty:

This is a little heavier than comparing the 50-200mm Pentax, but the greater zoom range makes up for the difference.
The (A)uto lock button is hard to reach on my Pentax D110 built it flash housing in the way. Doubt I will use anything but Auto any way.
The Manual Focus Turns a little hard and since I do Astrophotography.
Still all in all it is well built and I will probably have this on my camera 95% of the time.
