Yes, my original hope was to get better overall lens that could cover occasional sports as one of the scenarios... 50-135 looked faster and lighter on the paper + covers portraits better.
But now I realized that Tamron might work even better for sports. Also I'm completely fine to carry 70-200 mounted whole day
So there is no justification for an pricey exchange left

Likely I'll take 50-135 someday later to try... but for now I can get both Tamron 28-75 to cover the portrait focal length gap and 20-40 for the price of 50-135 and keep 70-200 with me...

Somehow I can't edit posts with apparently >1 post and > than 1 day on forum
Is it because I have cropped sensor I need to wait 1,6 days?
