A very objective review--nicely done.
However, if one does empirical testing with one metric, the other input variables need to be normalized.
A brighter image will inherently show less micro contrast.
This is not to say that the Tamron isn't sharper in certain areas and at certain apertures. But let's make this a fair comparison across the frame with equal lighting.
And to be completely pragmatic, how often does one look at corner sharpness when evaluating portraits?
As I noted in my previous comments, the CA is a bit more than I would like when shooting below f/2.8, but again, that won't be a factor in most portrait work. There may be other applications where it might come into play, but I believe those would represent a very small sample size.
All of that being said, the Tamron f/1.8 with image stabilization seems to be an excellent lens for the money.
