New Tamron or vintageish Minolta

Need to add a lens to the Sony A33. I am between New Tamron and a Minolta or Sony 18-200. Now I am with kit 18-55 and a Minolta 18-75 2.8. The new warranty seems to push me to Tamron, but would easily pick another Minolta. Anyone with Tamron, Minolta, Sony experience or all chim in.

I went with the original choice. A Minolta 100 300 APO D. My basic driver was what was my primary subject going to be which was wildlife. Probably could have gone without the D, but... Hope it is a good copy.

Looking forward to seeing some shots with the new lens
