I've had Tamron in the past when I did film and trust there lenses.
After switching to Canon I had both the Canon 24-70 and 24-105 and the Tamron 28-75 beats them both with first hand real world test I performed on them all.
Color is equal, contrast from the tammy was better, sharpness, the Tamron won by just a bit.
AF from the Tamron is just a hair under the speed of the Canon's and is accurate in low light.
The Tamron was a bit soft wide open @ 2.8 but any smaller it was killer sharp.
If you need weather sealing and IS then you know your choices.
But if your after IQ the Tamron 28-75mm is King and well built too.
The newer generation of lenses in the world of 3rd party are now equal or surpass Canon.
I'm very much a Canon red ring, L nut but this Tamron 28-75 stands out as a winner for Tamron similar to the Cinderella story.
