I've got a 16-45 and I'm a big fan. It gives great results and was on my camera most of the time.
However, I recently bought a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 OS and it's in a totally differnt league. Build quality, IQ, everything. At present prices seem to be at their lowest around £279.

Both are f2.8 wonder why the sigma is more expensive...
I've no experience of the Tamron so I can't comment but the review appears a fair comparison and that was even when the Sigma was more expensive.

I've no idea how they compare now but worth a look
