OK, so you like the lens you own.
The question was have you actually used the Tamron lens and compared?
I have used both although not side by side. Compare any lens tests and
I think you would be surprised. Optically I would take the Tamron.
But it does lack the EOS features that many value and the Tamron is heavier.
Agreed on the filter size but remember its a F2.8 fixed all the way to
105mm.
