Everyone here knows that I'm a huge fan of the Tamron 80-200/2.8 I probably
shouldn't have sold mine, but it's such a beast of a lens......Buy it, you'll
never regret the image quality from that one. I also had a 1.4x Tamron SP BBAR
converter that did very nicely. Thus I never re-bought a 200 or a 300 or a
180, as they were all redundant from an image quality perspective.
