What kind of race?
I am not interesting in financial results, I am interesting in good lenses.
Tamron has a technology for a long race with Sigma and use it very well in their products.
Maybe I will sound to someone like a heretic but almost every new Tamron lens is overall better than similar Sigma lens.
Most of the Sigma hype is based on marketing of word "ART" and sharpness only. That's not enough to be better than Tamron.
I was truly enthusiastic when I saw that new Pentax lenses are rebaged Tamrons.
