Thanks Markus, yes, Tamron, not Tokina.
The 28-75 seems "good enough" for what I want, and won't break the bank. The 85mm prime is tempting too, but a bag of primes won't do, I'm in SEA and I don't want to be opening the camera every 5 minutes while strolling about. I have the EF 28-135 and if it were f2.8 it would be ideal. The Tamron seems to approximate this, maybe it will drop in price even more once the new 24-70 is out.
Any other candidates?
I would love a EF 24-70L but damn, they are so expensive.
