Re: Lens Poll.

I think Tamron have it right, in manufacturing 35/1.8 VC and 85/1.8 VC instead of f1.4 equivalents. If you offered me the choice of those and a Sigma f1.4 Art I'd take the Tamrons... because in practice it's rather hard to use the f1.4 re DOF. The only Tamron lens I don't really want is the 45mm f1.8 VC. It's just not a 50mm, it's not long enough and it's not as special as the others. Would have preferred a 58mm f1.8 VC.

The current Tamrons also have a handy bonus in closer-focusing and higher reproduction ratio. For hobbyist photography around the house and on walkabout this and VC are far more useful than ego-trip superfast lenses.
