Tamron is junk? Have you even used one before?

Like Tom said, the 28-75/2.8 is VERY good, matching the performence of the Canon 24-70 or the Nikon 28-70. I've had it when I shot Nikon and it was VERY SHARP.

The new 17-50/2.8 is also very good even when compared to the Canon 17-55 IS... Sure the Tamron doesn't have IS or USM, but it also costs $1000 bucks less, and certianly not 1/3rd the performence!.

Don't knock a lens if you haven't even used one before. If anything the Tamron 28-75 is a better lens than the Sigma 24-70.
