I think some tests show that the Tamron 2.5 (not the 2.8) is almost as good as the Zuiko, and the Tokina is "better."

I used to own a Tamron 2.5 which I sold when I bought the Zuiko to help pay for it. It's about 4x-5x in price difference. I remember that the Tamron being very good and there is no way any other 90mm 35mm lens, Zuiko included, to be 5x "better."

But the Zuiko is magic....

Some months ago there was a discussion about the lesser expensive
alternatives to the 90/f2 Zuiko macro. I recall somebody mentioning a
Tamron 90/2.5 which they held in high regard.

Can anyone refresh my memory and opine on the Tamron, or was it a Sigma,
lens in question.
