Regarding Tamron i've only really heard mixed feedback regarding the lens quailty being very hit or miss on all there models you either get a good 1 or a Bad 1

I don't think you can be that general about any one brand across their entire range. Several lenses I'd come across in the shop may even be badged as different makes but be the same lens!
One or two Sigma's were awful, Canon, Pentax, Nikon and KonicaMinolta/Sony have also had their fair share of duds, as well as crackers.
Must say that Tamron as a manufacturer isn't as prominent in the UK as they once were. Some Tamron lenses are far more common in the states I believe.
Going for any lens which isn't from your camera manufacturer is always perceived as a 'risk'......
To be really honest though unless you go for a real cheapie (cosina for example) most lenses made today are made to a very good standard, even compared to one's from yesteryear.
