I've been fighting this internal struggle since I managed to get my hands on my first L glass. I have a great telephoto, but after shooting my first wedding, I've discovered I really need something for wider shots. I stumbled across both the Tamron and the Canon 24-70mm, every review I've read seems to be fairly inconclusive.
Let's assume money is no object (it is, but let's pretend), I currently have enough to grab the Tamron, and I'm loving the fact that it has VC, since low light shooting is very probable, however I don't want to sacrifice overall sharpness. I've become spoiled by the sharpness of the 70-200mm f/2.8L and I want to remain relatively close to that. I will be upgrading to a FF within the next year, either the 6D or 5DMkIII, but that's a debate for another day.
Professionally, I'm going to be shooting primarily portraits, weddings, senior portraits, newborns, etc. However, in my spare time I enjoy shooting landscapes/cityscapes, so edge sharpness is somewhat of a concern. I do some minor sports shooting, but I feel like my telephoto will be primarily used for that over the wider focal length, so no major concerns there.
Based on my widespread and varied shooting, which lens do you think will suit me best in the long run? Keep in mind I do this primarily as a hobby, and I don't have a ton of disposable income, but I will need it for some paid work as well.
