Third, re: the Tamron 18-300. Despite the high praise I do see for it in individual lens reviews, I saw a review on another website that compared it directly to both the 16-80 and 18-135 at the same focal lengths and the Tamron lens was noticeably softer throughout the image. Granted, that was only one source, but being able to directly compare it to both of the other lenses I was interested in felt like it had more weight to it. I'll look into it more.

Hey just wondering if you have a link for this comparison review as I haven't found anything...thanks
