What Bruce said. The Tamron is solidly built, quick to focus, sharp, and meters very well. I haven't tried any of the Sigma or Pentax 24-28-70-75s because I bought the Tamron and haven't been able to fault it. VERY good value in Australia (actually cheaper than prices in the US, through a couple of places namely dirtcheapcameras, but the value probably tapers off with international shipping).
