tamron launch 24-70 f/2.8 vc pzd


Interesting new lens from Tamron and nice option for FF camera users. Being a canon user, I wonder what canon thinks of this, especially given that their 24-70 II are rumored to be without IS. Why must the major brands always play "catch up" to the 3rd party manufacturers? :)
 

The Canon rumor doesn't quite make sense if it's only an optics update (no IS) and if this Tamron SP 24-70mm zoom lens is priced less than 800 or so, it'll be quite a seller...

Looks interesting... Now to wait!
 

I just bought my Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 last week ...:(
 

I will wait for the reviews first, slow focusing has always been an issue with tamron lenses.
 

I had a tamron 28-75 previously. soft at 2.8 and only gets better after 3.5. Its better to waot for review.
 

I am thinking of getting the 28-75mm.. Looks like I need to for a while more for the review and price. Looking forward to this!

No longer a rumour... Canon's new 28-70mm - just new optics... no IS. Not sure same price or not.

Canon renews full-frame lenses with 24-70mm F2.8 II and stabilized wide-angle primes: Digital Photography Review
 

This sounds good, especially if its not too expensive! Lets hope the optics are good! :)
 

Crap.... Moisture-resistant? o_O"!!

Not available for Pentax? -_-"....
 

Tamron will launch AF 24-70 f/2.8 VC USD = ultra sonic drive not pzd

pentax no this range also so sad but must see how it performs first, if good well ...

Haha! No la.... No point jump ship for 1 lens... Unless if the lens is like 24-70 f/1.0... AF, ard 500g and zeiss-like quality... Then I will DEFINITELY jumpship as it'll be a 1 lens wonder... :p

Pentax coming out with their own version later on.. Can just wait... Meanwhile, shoot more first...
 

Haha!! Ya la.... Just wait for Pentax own da*28-90.. LoL! When also I dunno.. :(

But I'm interested to know how this Tammy will perform.. :)
