Re: Tamron f2.8 17-50 mm vs Pentax 16-85

I just got the Pentax 16-85 today. I took a few quick shots with it in the backyard this evening and I can already tell its sharper overall(especially in the corners) than my Tamron f2.8 17-50 and it will be a great storm photography/landscape lens! I can't wait to use this lens out in the field this spring! Granted the Tamron is better for portraits, but I have a Pentax f1.8 50mm and that little lens is amazing for the price.
