not yet available. Not yet starts on sale. No definite date on Tamron website yet...so I dont think you can get it anytime soon.

Tamron 17-50mm in Nikon and Canon mount are constantly out of stock, Tamron are too buy to care about KM mount now...

sigh! they should come out a mount during this period while the sony lenses are not out and expected to be expensive. I think many minolta/sony users will try out these 3rd party lens if they are available.

sounds like it's a good lens...great as an everyday lens and can replace my 28-80mm kit lens. hmmm...should I sell my 24mm lens to finance this?

I'm wondering if it focusses better i.e. faster and more accurately than my KM 17-35mm... it's pretty poor under low light...
