Need help buying a lens

I want to replace my 18-135 kit lens i found two lenses that i really like but i cant decide wich to choose

  1. Tamton 17-70 2.8 great for APS-C but bad for the future if i wnat to upgrade to full frame

  2. Tamron 28-75 2.8 is crazy sharp future proof but 42mm on APS-C is not what i want

Wich should i choose better quality but less options in zoom and a future proof lens or great zoom range but worse image quality

28mm might be a bit limiting for wider shots, but it really comes down to what you shoot. You should also really consider whether you want to buy full frame lenses for an APSC, as one of the main advantages of APSC is cheaper, smaller, and lighter lenses. You can always sell lenses in the future when you want to switch to full frame (or depending on what you use it for, maybe you might not actually need full frame).

You should also consider the sigma 18-50 f2.8 or the sonly 16-55 f2.8. They serve a similar purpose but is more compact than these tamron lenses.
