This really puts me in dilemma:-). I was leaning towards Tokina because its optically good and 28-80mm. When using with my yet to own!! *istD it goes up to 160mm which is a major advantage. Tamron is cheap, light, according to some of you, optically good (better?) than Tokina but goes up to only 150mm, which is 10mm less than Tokinas.
