How about this Tamron?

I got a Tamron zoom (28-70/3.5-4.5) 62mm for free from a friend of mine
(along its AI-S adaptall):

was wondering how it performs: to sold or to keep?

I own just a poor-man FM10 with a beautiful 50/1.8

Thanks in advance

I'm doing it.
I am not able to find any review about this old lens.
Can you help me?
Thanks again.

Broken website. Page comes up blank.

IMHO it has almost no commerical value. You may be able to get someone to
pay $5-$10 for it.

HOWEVER if you don't have a lens in that range, it's well worth keeping.
Well made, good optics. I would mostly use it 2 f stops smaller than maximum.

I guess it works for you in Cuba/Canada. How was/is the trip?

I didn't even attempt to use the net in Cuba. My SO went to send an
e-mail but the internet was down that day (in the hotel). Didn't try again.

Didn't miss it.

Good trip overall, scuba was disappointing (made 10 dives out of 20
desired) and the sites were not great. Some were good. (If not enough
people signed up for a dive the "boat is broken").

Photography was limited opportunity except on excursions. Maybe I'll
look at the collection for a late SI entry from those. (Really didn't
have my heart into it either - was bloody hot).

Beach (at resort) was good (not great). Shore water was warm - had to
swim out 40 metres or more to cool off and then had to watch for boats.

Don't think I'll ever go back - distorted local economics make for a
strange mix of quality destination, mediocre service and poor food
choice and preparation.

Chambermaid service was excellent - but then they make far more than
doctors and lawyers in Cuba.

My experience in Cuba was quite different, but it was several years
before yours. One think I particularly noticed was the *absence* of
boats.

All I saw were large vessels, presumably from Eastern Bloc countries,
anchored far off-shore, and government boats on government business.

No small boats, no fishing boats, no pleasure boats. I guess all the
boats had sailed off so escaping Cubans could get "one dry foot".

Also noted was the absence of small planes. A daily commercial
aircraft maybe, and a few military jets. Again, I guess
touch-and-goes were touch-and-gones in Cuba then.
