I like the wren and the petunias but I'm a petunia sort of guy.
My blunderbuss EF mount Tokina Pro 28-80/2.8 and it's big brother, the
Tokina Pro 80-200/2.8 are some of the reasons I decided to downsize from
the Canon 5D to micro 4/3. But I also had a couple of much loved
Tamrons. I still have all the glass. The Tamrons are the 20-40 and the
same 24-135 you mentioned. The 24-135 was my standard walk-around lens.
It probably took more photos than the other 3 combined. The 20-40 is
also a great lens but (even with hood) subject to flare if you get too
close to the sun.

I have a small gallery of shots made with my OM-5DmkII and the Tamron
200-400 in native EF mount. I like Tamron lenses. I have a 24-135, which
was a EOS film lens. I recently bought the 200-400 from KEH to extend the
range for those times when one wants all the niceties.
It's a nice lens to work with. Not fast at f5.6, but bright enough for
me. Bokeh is plentiful even at f11 with this lens. My shots were all at
f8 or f11. It requires careful focusing. Nice tripod mount, useful, and
heavily used by me. Push-pull zoom and internal focusing. When focused at
200mm it stays in focus nearly out to 400mm, which is good because the
working distance is kind of far. The lens and camera are heavy and I use a
heavy Manfrotto tripod for all it's worth. There are three photos of the
combo at the end of the gallery.
The test period has aligned with the waning period of day lilies in my
neighborhood. I got a fair number of shots that I like with it -- more
importantly, that my wife likes -- though I fear it will bore most of you
(just warning you).
