The only thing holding me back is the lack of an aperture ring. Fuji put aperture ring on most of their lenses, and thus trained me into relying on it Tamron should do the same when designing for Fuji cameras, instead of simply copying their Sony version.

I suspect that such a redesign would cost a lot in terms of R&D, tooling and manufacturing to the point that the return on sales would not justify the investment. However, despite that commercial reality, I agree with you that a Tamron with an aperture ring would be a very nice lens indeed.
