New 18-200 Sony E-Mount Lens Announced

[Mike Raub]

Many think this is a re-badged Tamron. Smaller and lighter than the current 18-200, and black in color

This is an interesting announcement, have you worked with the Tamron?  I have the Sony 18-200 and like it, but mine at 18 to 24 is a bit soft.  Using the Sony 16-80 Zeiss is much better, but I still like the range of the 18-200.
