I chose the Tamron over the Sony version due to the smaller size, smaller filter required, and the smaller price. I'm quite happy with the lens. Choromatic abborations are an issue, but no more so than I've had on other superzooms, and it is easily corrected in software. If I were doing it again, I would still choose the Tamron over the Sony for the above mentioned reasons. The other lens I considered was the Sony 55-210, but I am very glad I opted for the 18-200 because my whole idea of getting a NEX was to have a more portable system than my Canon 60d. If I had gotten the 55-210 I'd have to carry around 2 lenses.

Thank you for sharing these full-size samples with the Nex and Tamron combination... I'm seriously considering the lens for my Nex.... If you read this and would like to give your thoughts, I'd be anxious to read them...
