28-200mm Tamron by Narsuitus, on Flickr
I received this lens as a gift from a colleague who was abandoning film for digital. Its excellent performance as a portrait lens impressed me.
I agree - I got one of these for around 40 USD for use on a Leica SL as a cheap all-around lens, and it is surprisingly good. I think it's model 171D. Mine has a 72mm filter thread, collapses for transport, and is very light weight.
