If the Tokina tripod mount is better than the mount on the Tamron I would
hate to see the mount on the Tamron. I have the Tokina and that is the
only thing that I don't like about it. It seems a little flimsy in
comparison to the one on the Olympus 300 4.5. The other thing would be if
it focused closer. But still one of my favorite lens.
