<< 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. Peter K >> Hi All, Well, I never used this lens, but reviews of it at the www.photographyreview.com are not very favorable for the most part from the EOS system owners. People that seem to like it more are the Nikon owners, maybe because AF speed of this Tamron lens is similar to Nikon system, but nothing like EOS lenses. Again - this all based not on my actual experience with this lens, but on reviews of others. So, you can go to that web site and read for yourselves and than decide on it.
