Feb 06, 2012 21:07 | #33 CamLS wrote in post #13837915  I'd say $800 would be a good price point to start at. Sp1207 wrote in post #13838290 800$ tops. I would think it will be higher than $800. Sigma's non-OS 24-70 EX HSM is $900 at B&H. If they can ensure high IQ output (and I think they will), this lens could be priced around the current 24-70 L. It would be a steal at $800. Scoro wrote in post #13838143 Tamron feel like junk. Will add that as a poll option next time. ben805 wrote in post #13838157 Tamron need to give us another kick, 50mm 1.4 with higher AF consistency and better IQ than both Sigma and Canon. I'd love to see Tamron get into the VC+USD lens game big time. Maybe a 85 f1.4 VC USD, 135 f2 VC USD, or something like a 200-400 f4 VC USD.

If the Tamron IQ is competitive with the Canon mkI it's going to be in a good spot... Rob | rmpaul.com

All things equal, I would be more interested in the Tammy if it's zoom and focus rings turned the same direction as Canon lenses.

Their new 24mm and 28mm primes will though and that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Heck I almost went back to crop just for the 17-55 IS but now I can keep my 5d and get a 24-70 VC and be happy!!

They have a hit if they make sure its sharp from the start! Bad rep for being soft right out of the gate may never get overcome. (see 17-50VC) My junk

If you really need the IS do what I've done, crank the ISO up to 3200 and use the 24-105.
