All in all the lens looks to be a very good one... which I do not like, as its compact size, very fast AF, contrast and IS make it very interesting.. but it is so expensive! It might just find its way into my bag in a year or so... or will the Tamron match its contrast?

It's a really good lens for what it is. But I was using it for street-like and tracking shots the other day... I was getting frustrated by the variable aperture because I shoot a lot in manual exposure. For me that's what it all came down to (and the fact that I don't buy zooms anymore lol)
