Picked up a SAL 55200 55-200 for USD $109 not too bad for the price,
handy size. Sort of interim till I acquire 70-200 or the 70-300G
Couple of initial shots.
Looking across Boundary Bay to Mt Baker Wa.
f5.6 1/160 ISO200 200.0 mm
HWY 17 Board, back of board not visible from HWY
f9 1/30 ISO200 140 mm

It's one of the best lenses around. Enjoy.

For that price I surely would like one.
Nice shots, btw.

That first shot especially is excellent. If I didn't have the fast Minolta 70-210 I would definitely get one of these for portable telephoto. Thanks for sharing!

That is a good price Roger. I think the Tamron is every bit as good as the Sony,
maybe better?
Put your in order Doc!
Thanks for the kind words Jim, it certainly is light and portable. Be nice to
have a bit more weight like the fast Minolta 70-210 to help stabilize the hand.
