		| | would there be a significant difference between these two lenses?  I have found that the tamron 90mm is supposed to have a slight edge in macro work, and I think that the 90mm would allow me to be a bit closer to the subjects.  I have been unable to find discussion about the tamron for portrait work though. 
 Any opinions?
 
 (I'm thinking that the 50mm 1.8, 90mm tamron, and a ~20 something prime would make for a decent wedding set up.)

		| | The Tamron is very sharp wide open, and it's only slightly longer than the 85mm f/1.8 which is a popular portrait lens. These two traits combined should make it a fairly good portrait lens. Some people have also used the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro for portraiture work as well, and with success. 
 I can't comment on the Sigma though....
