The 28-200mm can be locked down for travelling, and when unlocked, it requires only a small rotation to go from 28mm all the way to 200mm. When its in its fully zoomed position it holds the zoom firmly, freeing me to use both hands to steady the camera. The aperture  (depending on how far you are zoomed) so theres plenty of opportunity to capture images with a shallow depth of field, even at full zoom of 200mm.

The Tamron 28-200mm is lightweight, small for a zoom lens, and is only three inches tall.
