Ha! So little time or so little money, or both!? Haha. Seriously bro, so far, the Tamron is the best of the third party standard zoom offerings I've touched. Another lens that impresses me is the Sigma 50-150. Amazing, lightweight piece of glass.

The Tokina 17-135mm f3.5-5.6 I think it is truely an ideal walkaround lens IMO. Wide from 17 to 135mm is just an ideal upgrade for my Canon EF28-135mm f3.6-5.6. But the performance (sharpness, CA, distortion and motor performance) of this lens is yet to be known.
Just hoping it to be in stores soon.
Also lusting for Tokina's 16-50mm f2.8 and 50-135mm f2.8. An ideal combination for AD photographers. But also looking forward to try out its performance or reviews first before going to buy it in the further.

I own the Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4, so far, it is best for still life. For events, a flash is a must. I find that this lens underperform (sharpness) abit when hand held. Thus, I always shoot over then under.
Hopes the Tokina 16-50 f2.8 performance better.
What do you mean by "always shoot over then under"? I don't get it. Haha.
IIRC the Tokina 50-135 f/2.8 is already out in stores. I've tried this and the Sigma and like the Sigma's sharpness and AF speed better (tried on a Canon 30D body).
i think he means bracketing. ;p
some test shots from this Taiwan site (Chinese)

Soory for the confusion caused.
I mean shoot overexposed abit rather then under. Cos my Tamron lens looks abit not sharp if under, overexposed by 1/2 stop is sharp to me. I think this is just a characteristic of my lens ba.
I've used the Tamron before. It's sharp even when underexposed, but when it's overexposed you lose the detail. Either way, your focus shouldn't be dependant on the exposure per say. It should be sharp as long as focus is done properly.

The lens barrel will turn out one...
Oh yuck. It's a major boo-boo on Tokina's part, considering the 16mm will be very useful for landscape usage with CPL.
