Tomorrow I will be looking for a new lens.

At the moment I use the Sigma 28-105 f2.8-4 and that's a good lens but I want a bit more sharpness and F2.8 over the entire range.

My budget can hold:

Sigma 28-70 f2.8 EX
Tokina 28-70 Pro F2.8

OR
the new
Tamron 28-75 f2.8 di lens

This last I can't find much, but what I find is very positive, are there any more links you can provide me with, or anyone using it.... or am I missing lenses in that price range.

Greetings,
Frank

Hi Frank,

I've been using the Tokina 28-70 Pro 2.8 for the past 5 weeks and I'm very impressed with both the build quality and the results - simple as that!

Cheers,
Barry
