I have had the Tamron 70-200/2.8. At F2.8 it was not sharp, from F3.5 you get very very sharp pictures.

The Af was not quiet. AF speed was ok, even in low light.

Thanks for the information Danny. I'm not worried about AF noise (no current intentions for video usage or in quiet locales like at a wedding). However I'd be interested if you could quantify or give an example of OK AF speed.

Cheers - Spike
