Yeah, I'm a big Tamron fan these days. The 70-300 VC was enough to get my interest but the 45 & 85 sealed the deal.
I'm a bit disheartened by the recent spate of discontinuations in the Canon EF ranks anyway - they basically just killed all their EF-S lineup (save the 18-55 and 18-135) going forward, and made huge dents in the EF one. It's not much of a deal for me in practice, since most of my Canon stuff is already of the discontinued variety (24-85, 70-200, 100-400), but I'd hate to see the two Canon L lenses that hold the most monetary value get discontinued as well (the 16-35 and the 24/1.4). I wasn't going to sell anything but with these tidings, looks like I'll have to axe the non-essential lenses now... the Tamron primes (and the 16-35/4) would be the last ones to go though.
