How much better is this lens when compared with Tamron's 28-200 ?

Thanks.

Dear Howard,

Thank you for your response.

I do have an EOS RT, EOS 1, and an EOS 30E. So far I have no problem on

compatibility with these cameras with my second generation

Tamron 28-200. This Tamron is not my regular usage lens. I used it when

I go travelling and for that I brought with me an additional lens of

EF 20-35 L lens. I find that there is perspective distortion on the

edges of the 28mm end of the Tamron. I realise this as inevitable.

Other than that, I am quite happy with the lens. Just

wondering whether the Canon 28-200 is better than Tamron in this aspect

as well in sharpness.

Can someone who had used the above two lenses, please comment of the quality of these two lenses. I have the 2nd generation of this Tamron lens which I bring along on all my trips abroad. This late comer from Canon intrigues me. It came after so many years behind Tamron's 3rd generation of this zoom. Beside having a closer focusing ability, the "outward" specification are the same. So is there a substantial advantage in quality of this Canon lens?

Thank you.

Sorry, I don't know how to get into a querry mode. Instead I got into

this.

Please tell me what would the weight of this camera be?
