Tamron Introducing "Vibration Compensation" Lens

I don't suppose you got any "show special" pricing there for B&H?

Not sure why they would even bother with FF?

Not everyone shoots digital.

Tamron has postponed the release of this lens due to a problem with the VC unit. It was set to release next week (8/29) in Japan. But it seems now there is no set date http://www.tamron.co.j​p …ws/release_2007​/0824.html

FYI, Amazon has it now listed for pre-order...ships in 10 days, selling at $700 USD http://www.amazon.com …ics&qid=1190403​877&sr=8-3

And B&H has it backordered but cheaper at $600 http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …00mm_f_3_5_6_3_​XR_Di.html

$600 sounds about right. At that price it will give the Canon 70-300 a run for its money since it adds enough at the wide end to be a walkaround. At $700, it is really a stretch since you can get the Sigma 18-200 for $200 less.
