Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A012) lens pricing and availability announced | Photo Rumors
I am psyched!! as I estimated in other posts. $1100. if the tests show what Tamron were saying (which was that its going to surpass all WA zooms, including the legendary 14-24 AFS) this will be an excellent seller. 1100grams. its supposed to be even bigger than nikons 14-24. bigger is better
a few months back I posted a thread looking for an upgrade to my Tamron 17-35 2.8-4 and wondered why they werent revamping it. they one upped it.
and another post noted two new primes coming from them as well. im hoping a 50 and 85 1.4. damn. my wallet will be quite light.
with all those corrective elements and coatings this thing looks like it was done right. flourine on front element and is what nikons showing here

yes some may not like the bulbous front element, but for me, Im not a filters man. I might make my own diy holder and get it printed with a 3d printer and buy filters down the line.
now the wait for reviews begins. will get this around march april when any buys might show.
