Wow, that's certainly interesting. Wonder what the price point will be. Might be time to retire my Sigma 24-70 f2.8.

Nice feature set... Take it from me that a 24-70 with stabilization is pretty useful.

Bummer, I was hoping on a 35mm prime in the mix!

The tamron needs the VR/IS because you have to stop it down to 5.6 to get a sharp image; in turn lowering your shutter speed :lol:

wonder how the IQ compares to my Nikon 24-70 (which is not VR). More importantly, is the gain in stabilization worth the loss in IQ.
