Unless you have used the Tamron you cannot understand that their new SP PRO TC is really first rate. New its still less than a used Canon EF 1.4x Version 1. I for one do not need to "feel better" by paying more for a Canon logo. Its a slightly lighter beige than the Canon cream colored L lenses, but its an L of a TC (sorry, could not resist).
