Yeah, I like the Tamrons I've had, too.
I have their recent 17-35/2.8-4.0 and it's excellent.
My "normal" lens these days is a 24-135 Tamron, and its performance is
excellent throughout the zoom range. Tamron not only makes some great
lenses, they are also a major maker of optical glass. I've seen Tamron
glass blanks being made into lens elements at Scneider Kreuznach in
Germany. If that glass is good enough for those guys, it's good enough
for anyone!
