The MTFs all look decent ... on paper ... even for the 18-300mm

If the third is good, it would solve the "short business trip with low cost air company" problem. Exactly two years ago, for a business trip to Sardinia, the only things that I could carry for space/weight limitations (given that I had to give priority to business equipment) were a6300 + SEL1670. I made a very good gallery, but I missed a number of tele shots. I also see that it's relatively light (620g) and offers 1:2 repro ractio. Interesting.

Plus some legacy Nikkor lenses.
I'm usually not interested in super zooms, but given the progress in lens design, it seems that the 18-300 could be good enough for my travel needs.
I currently use the Fuji 16-80. I like its rendering, colors and bokeh, but sharpness at the edge is not that great. I suspect this Tamron could be similar or better in their overlapping range while being much more versatile.

35-150 for 1800$....
I am afraid 18-300 would be a good performer once new no doubt, the question with such a range and complex optics, how long would it be able to hold this quality ??

That's the primary issue in Fuji mount. The 16-55 and 18-55 are decent but the 16-80 and 18-135mm are ... meh.
