Re: Sharper replacement for Tamron 18-270 (wide to mid range)?

I went for the Tamron 17-50 2.8 non-VC version and have been very happy with that as my main lens. Good price and good IQ. But then I use a 55-250 for the long end. Not sure if having it with a 70-300 would be a big issue.

15-85 is another good choice. Not sure it's needs if you have a dedicated wide lens tho.
