Arcane fact #42:
Look out that you get the right version - for a short time Tamron made that
lens in two versions, one of them focuses bass-ackwards*. That may be why
they re so cheap :-)

* Meaning cloclwise from infinity, rather than anticlockwise, which, as is
well known, is far superior (#43).

Since I don't think the difference between 150 and 200mm to be that
significant, I used a Tamron 70~150 f/3.5. The version I have is compact
enough that is uses 49mm filters. Very good optical performance and solid
mechanically. Hood is built in.
Another advantage -- clean copies can be found for ~US$60 with adapter.
