No question. Tamron SP 28-75 f2.8 XR Di. Small, light, sharp as a tack, gorgeous colour, good bokeh. The Sigma's 4mm wider and 5mm shorter FL-wise, but noticably wider and softer wide open (The Sigma's good, but the Tamron's merely superb). I've no info on the Tokina.

I sold my 28/2.8 after getting the Tamron. had no need for it with the better performing Tamron (I had an off-brand 28/2.8, not the SMC)

Howdy!

I'm considering enabling myself with a new zoom lens or two.  While I
don't really use zooms that much for my personal photography, I've
been offered a handful of wedding jobs and am looking at some faster
(f2.8) lenses.  Pentax lenses would normally be my choice, but they
seem to be expensive and rather hard to find these days.  Does anyone
have an opinion on zooms in the 24-90mm range (give or take) from
Sigma, Tamron and Tokina?
