With the Sigma, you didn't have a problem with the rattle that some have mentioned? I'd also read that the zoom ring turns in the opposite direction from what you're used to. I suppose or easily gets used to that. I'd also read that the focus ring turns with the AF and that some don't like that. But, then, it does on my 50mm f1.8D, also.
Between the Sigma and the Tamron, which is the "better" all around lens? Looks like the Sigma is the same price as the non-AF Tamron.

It's funny how we get so OCD about the little things isn't it! I am the same way. The Sigma is a nice lens that is sharp with good color and contrast. I have not had to correct for CA and when I apply the lens correction there is very little correction that happens. The focal length is perfect for me- it's what I most often use. I have not noticed any rattling. Until the price dropped it was a 699.00 lens. Now you can pick it up new for 369-399.00. I would still consider it a good lens at full price. I can not personally compare it to your other choices.
