Canon 17-55 vs Tamron 17-50 vs Canon 17-40.

Anyone bought the Tamron lens recently?

Did the price increase? ...saw someone bought at 535 but now 600 plus..

or was the post posted when policeman wore shorts?

Recently (2 days) Tamron 17-50 still within 620 - 650, the 535 probably without GST, or is a grey set.
