it will be an outstanding lens if the optical quality will improve from its predescessor.

This will also take ages before it hits the market.

Aren't they supposed to be working on a 10-24? That's been quite a while now.

As with Tamron's modus operandi - announcement date and release date can be years apart.

Just like the last time when they announce their 70-200mm f2.8, took them 1 year + before appear in market.

I am looking forward for this lens for my D90 movie mode. VC is helpful on movie mode and the range of 18-270mm is gud!

When they put up pre-order, usually how long would it take for them to reach the shelve?

an 18-270 range really sounds tempting, can't wait to see it's performance though

Amazon is selling it through Amazon for $599. Even more better. They are taking only orders right now. I guess they haven't got the lens on their shelves yet.

Doubt it'll stand a chance if its price is same as the Canon 18-200.
