I have never agreed with badge engineering and would not willingly pay more for the same thing because of the name.

The Tokina shots look pretty damn good to me so I guess there's not much to choose. You certainly do have to be careful with the focus, but in good light mirror lock up isn't vital. No miiror lock here

I have the Tamron and it is very sharp.

Matt,
Much clearer, thanks.

Tyr,
TIFF's are huge and I would think that if you have the finished product it would be safe to convert to JPEG and trash the TIFF.

Mike,
As above really. If you can't see any difference on the screen between a JPEG and a TIFF, would it make a difference when printing?

Thanks for all the info everyone. My initial question "why save RAW to TIFF" has still not been properly explained. I can see no advantage as a JPEG seems to be fine with no loss of quality if you do anything else to it.
I really don't see the point of taking in JPEG then converting to TIFF. Why start with a lower quality then convert to higher?

Here are some before and after JPEGS
They were taken in JPEG
Before

After 45 saves in JPEG using 0% compression

Cropped before

I can detect no difference.

Using Coral, if you work on a JPEG, when you save that work you can choose the amount of compression. If you use 0% compression it does not alter the image quality. I have just tried this by saving a JPEG image repeatedly over 40 times and comparing the 1st and last save. No change to quality.

Ah, I see. I have Corel photopaint which I use for that sort of purpose, like removing marks when I have a dirty sensor. Is that what you mean?
