... nice review ... albeit ... I cannot really imagine having the Tamron
on a crop-1.6 camera.

I beg to differ (this is also to Klaus I suppose) because some people I know are happily using the 24-xx lenses on whichever body they have and also employ an ultrawide zoom (of the 12-24ish kind). I guess this kind of arrangement makes more sense than just having a 24-xx zoom lens, whatever the format (I for one don't find the 24mm - or even the 21mm equivalent of my 16-35/2.8 - quite wide enough). So I can hardly imagine anyone surviving without a wider lens anyways, and this makes the issue rather irrelevant in my view.
