Lens Advice: Pentax D FA HD 28-105 or Tamron 28-75 DI

Bismillah

I shoot a lot of low light events receptions, parties, concerts, etc. Which do you think has better IQ and AF in extreme low light (keep in mind I shoot with flash at around f5.6-6.3 so low F stops are not as important)? Thanks.

I have owned both the Tamron and the Pentax DFA 28-105 and much prefer the Pentax (sold the Tamron). The Pentax has better and more consistent IQ across the frame and across the focal lengths (the Tamron is best at 28mm). The Pentax provides faster and quieter AF. The Tamron does offer f/2.8.
