Will it, wide open produce images sharper than this dreadful Tamron 17-35 did?

Probably would, see for yourself at http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/index.php and display the interactive graphs for the lenses that are marked as '(Tested)'.

The 17-35 Tamron wide open looks tragic, but stop down a bit and is much better. The 14-42mm looks OK wide open.

Hence my desire for a new system. The only lenses that wi

L let my XT or 30D take great night shots are $350+

Changing cameras is $450+. Changing systems is way cheaper.

Plus I get ludicrous ISO availability now!
