The tamron is very slow focusing even hunting in low light, but the quality of images is good (the no VC version). 16-85 is somewhat faster focussing but lacks the f 2.8 aperture that is important to some people. But then it has VR so in case you film a lot, that comes very handy.Now-days with the level of high ISO performance of the 7000 and 7100 there is no need to go FX as it was in the past, to have good images at high ISO. If budget is no problem I would definitely go for the 17-55, I might very well consider a second hand one. But then you can get stunning images with the other 2 as well. So whatever you choose is good.Hope it helps.</blockquote>
