If you were going for 3 weeks trip to India or Morocco with just one lens, what would be your choice?)
I just tested the Tamron 28-200 mm on a trip to Colorado for fall colors. I ended up getting some wildlife too. I shot the exact same images swapping lenses on a tripod with my high end primes. There was a difference in IQ between the zoom and the primes when pixel peeping on my large monitor as expected. But in normal usage that Tamron held up surprisingly well. Of course these were generally shots at taken at landscape apertures (f8-f16) and at landscape distances.
I imagine if I were shooting India or Morocco the subjects would be more people/architecture/lifestyle/food orientated where the subjects and wider apertures would show more differences.
Still I would not hesitate to travel with this as my sole lens. Combining with the Tamron 17-27mm f/2.8 would be a great setup for a simple lightweight but capable kit. I imagine the combined weight would not be that different from the 35-150.
