Tamron 45mm compared to Canon 50mm STM

[AdrianAllen]

I know it's a big jump in prices, but If anyone has any opinions on the matter, please do so. Or if anyone has better lens suggestions. I shoot on a 70d.

I'm looking for a fast lens and these lenses caught my attention. Overall which of these will have a significant advantage over the other. Thanks a bunch!

Tammy 45 has better IQ than the Canon 1.8. It is a much better lens...

If Canon ever comes through with the 50 1.4 II (IS) (whatever it may be) I would expect it to have as good or possibly better IQ and better focus performance than the Tammy...

Soon right?

According to the test link below the Tamron is better.

He did ask... and yes exactly what you would expect from a $600 lens v. a $125 lens...

and it's not just a little bit better, it is SIGNIFICANTLY better...

If it were me, I'd probably get the Tamron....
