I had the Canon version Tamron L. It has nothing to envy aside 10 cm in length and stabilizing a less extensive hair. For the rest (bokeh, micro contrast, image quality, color) is the same. So I swapped my Canon Tamron against this by selling the first. I was able to recover almost 300 (the Tamron was sold off to 349) while maintaining a good macro lens. I will put the illustration of pictures later.
