Ok, weight and size aren't too bad then. However, most of it's range is
overlap with the 28-135, and zooming up to 50 won't be that much of an
advantage. I think for other reasons too a prime appeals to me. Less
dust sucked in, less things to break, etc. Plus, I'm not convinced that
Tamron makes a decent lens at all.

And of course price, I'm guessing but it's not a cheap lens either ;-)

The fisheye part doesn't bother me although I'd prefer a prime 14 or 15
that wasn't a fisheye. And wasn't huge or expensive, sigh like the
EF14L.
