In terms of image quality, how do you rate the 50-300 compared to the 28-200?

This 28-300 lens crosses a threshold. While the 28-200, 50-400 and 50-300 are all current-generation, surprisingly good lenses which show what today's technology can achieve, the 28-300 seems to be a try by Tamron to cash in on their recent good reputation with a mirrorless adaptation of their old superzooms with questionable performance.

What actually could be interesting would be an updated 28-200 G2 with improved sharpness, VC and the current outer design with switches and USB port.

This review supports my suspicions:

I was intrigued by this lens at first, especially when paired with the Sony 16-35mm f/4 G. I like how compact it is, and of course the extreme range, but the image quality is compromised a bit too much for my liking. I'll probably go with the 50-300mm, as it's basically a mini 50-400mm, which is great.
Too bad, as I would have liked to cover the range between 35mm and 50mm with these two, but I can live with that gap, I guess. The 28-200mm is quite tele enough for me, so 50-300mm it is.

Nikon was able to produce a 28-400mm, which seems to be quite good. That and their 14-30mm almost pushed me towards Nikon Z for landscape and architecture, but I'm not that interested in their cameras or primes, and like Canon, most of their cameras are simply overpriced (except the Z8).
