Tamron SP 60-300/3.8-5.4.

The Tokina AT-X 80-200/2.8 is reputed to be slightly less excellent 
optically than the Tamron SP. Also rarer. But the Tammy is 30% heavier. 
The Tokina tripod mount is a much better, stronger, less intrusive 
design. Although the Tokina is, in fact, only a tiny bit smaller, it 
somehow feels significantly smaller in use.
