Thank you very much, and I'm so glad you didn't say "laffable" instead ;)

For the lens, as long as you had a nice flash set up for studio work it would do a good job too. As long as subjects aren't too close you wont get any lens shadows from firing the flash. I have a 50mm too, and for what I do I find it a bit more versatile for the focal length yet I could see the Tamron affording you some relief from your subject for portraits, and that might be a good thing.

I will say that renting the lens might be a good idea too. Try it out for size. If that isn't an option I'd take you camera to a shop to try out a few lenses at the counter, see how they feel to you and your needs.
