Which version of the 28-200 is supposedly designed by Pentax? I find it hard to believe that Pentax would design a lens and the let Tamron introduce it first and then - after a considerable time take it on themselves but with something missing - and soon after it would Tamron introduce an improved version - and now the 3rd version is better still.
