About 2 years ago my wife and I picked up a T2i kit to take pictures of our new baby. We eventually added a nifty fifty and Tamron 28-75, the latter of which is almost always on the camera. Flash forward to today. I recently sold some extra fish equipment a few weeks ago and picked up a Canon 6D when B&H was having its sale. The main reason for the upgrade was the advantage it offers in low light situations and because a fool and his money...
Overall, I've been really happy with the upgrade, but now I've got one more choice to make. We're in the process of selling our house and I'll have to take down the in-wall aquarium that's currently setup. I have two options: set up the aquarium in a few years when our girls start school or sell the equipment and upgrade the tamron. I have my eyes on a Tamron 24-70 and/or Tamron 70-200 (VC), depending on how much I get for the equipment.
I have two questions regarding the upgrade, assuming I get the Tamron 24-70 first.
1. Is the autofocus noticeably faster? Two year olds are frustrating to photograph, so I can use all the help I can get!
2. How much of an improvement will there be in IQ? I've included a typical example of a shot with which I'm satisfied.

TLDR: Please help me justify another frivolous purchase! ...Show more →
Here's my .02 as a kid's shooter who owns the Tamron 24-70 - get a nice prime with IS, like the 24/2.8, 35/2 IS. Very speedy focus and much sharper @ f/2.8 (plus way lighter and cheaper. Or, you can't go wrong with the 40mm pancake. I have barely used the Tamron since I picked up the 24/35, and I just LOVE the 35.
