Aaron,
Why never Tamron? They've won best consumer lens for quite a few years, they must be doing something right. Have in mind that I'm no pro, just a happy amateur
One thing I like with the Sigma is the price. You can get two for the price of one of the Canon's.

Star 69,
I've been leaning towards that one for some time, but then I take a look at the other and jumps back and forth. Thanks for your input.

I used to work for a camera store. Nothing but problems and complaints about Tamron products. They may have changed but my opinion is set now. Sigma has always been a strong lens. If I was not using Canon Lenses then Sigma would be the only other brand I would personally consider.
