Verdict
Pick the Tamron 18-200mm if you need a single, lightweight all-in-one zoom for travel or casual shooting and prioritize reach over wide-angle coverage. Choose the Tokina 12-28mm if you want a wider field of view for landscapes or architecture and can accept a shorter telephoto end. The Tamron stays the better value if budget is tight, while the Tokina remains the only option if you specifically require focal lengths below 18 mm.
