Pros:

So glad I made this purchase
Was torn between this or a prime lens in the 70mm range for portrait work. Chose this for the versatility of the zoom and the previous reviews that touted the sharpness of lens. It didn't disappoint. This is the sharpest lens in my arsenal.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Razor Sharp
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
- Versatile
Cons:
- Hunts in low light
- Slow Focus

Nice lens, although autofocus could be faster!
I use it on my d800. You can get nice results with f2.8, although it does back focus or soft focus sometimes, especially if you shoot few frames in a row or in a low light conditions.

90% of Canon 24-70 f/2.8 for 1/4 price
I have both this Tamron lens + my wife insisted on buying latest and greatest Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. I tested both lenses and my not very professional conclusion is: 1) their sharpness is absolutely the same except 2.8 where Canon is a bit better 2) Tamron is lighter and more compact...

Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Lens
Although Tamron's SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] lens has been designed for cameras with 36 x 24mm sensors, it is also usable on cameras with smaller, APS-C sized sensors, where it covers a focal length range of 44.8-120mm on Canon DSLRs or 42-112.5mm on all the rest.
Pros:
- You want a fast standard zoom lens with excellent performance for use on ‘full frame' and ‘APS-C' DSLR cameras
- You'd like a lens that requires no readjustment when you fit polarisers and graduated filters
- You want attractive bokeh at wide apertures.

This is a great value lens. The image quality is outstanding for a lens in this price range. There are some things that could be better about it, but for the price in this focal range, and considering it's a 2.8 lens, it's impossible to beat.
Pros:
- Very sharp
- inexpensive
- 2.8 through entire focal range
- excellent image quality
Cons:
- Not rugged
- Mediocre focusing speed
- Sometimes hunts in low light

Tamron SP AF28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Asp IF Macro
This is a compact and lightweight wide aperture standard zoom for use on full-frame and APS-C sensor SLRs.

This lens is one of my all time favorites. It's fairly light, tack sharp, and has a decent zoom range. The main problem is with mountaineering you tend to want either wide angle or telephoto, which this lens is neither. So, you end up taking multiple lenses with you on a trip.
