Did you read Walt's post "Re: [OM] Zuiko 90/2 vs. Tamron 90/2.8" on 8/8?
Some pretty clear info on your point.

whether it is something I want to look AT or look THRU for $1000.
There have been some interesting comments in the past month re the
comparable Tamron and Vivitar, but anecdotal comments. Objective
measurements should help to guide purchasing by we mere mortals.
Somewhere......... I found the following post containing a
remarkably good collection of hard data on the Tokina ATX 90.

Unless I am missing something, Tokina wins this match. Given that Z.
is a 'standard' and perhaps slightly lighter, do a 'wine taste' test
(no label showing) on the Z, Tokina, Vivitar and Tamron you
'holics'. I might add that it is A-Ok to say no pragmatic difference.
Pull the cork and tell Alice what is 'THRU'. 'AT', wrapped in my gel
socks, is hardly payback for $1000.
Thanks
