This could be interesting depending on the price.

Tamron develops SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD lens: Digital Photography Review

i'm thinking it will be around 350?

There doesn't seem to be anything too special with that lens. It has a few upgraded features, but nothing special. Will have to see how it actually performs. As for price, I don't think Tamron sells anything with VC for less than about $500, so I'm going to guess closer to the $600 range for this lens.

Yes, but the current (non VC) version is only $164.

Sigma/Tamron usually come in cheaper than Canon/Nikon on similar lenses. Canon's 70-300mm IS is $550.
There is also the EF-S 55-250 IS, which is only $255.

So if Tamron wants to charge $500+ for this one, it would have to be darn good.

Well the 28-300 is around 5-600 so it cant be more than 4 i think. if it is around 5-600 ill just hop on the canon 70-200 f4L ..... which i might do anyways! lol

 

[Big Mike]

Id guess that the Canon 70-200 F4 is far, far superior to any of the lenses mentioned here. If you want great image quality, and are OK with only 200mm, then go for that.

I wouldn't look cool with that on my 1D way to slow

Serves me right for pulling numbers out my butt without doing research. :lmao:

That makes sense to me.

Don't sweat it...sometimes I have nothing better to do than look up the price of lenses :er:

My guess is Tamron will price this lens at $399 to $429 US dollars. This is a full-frame capable lens with 9-blade diaphragm and ultrasonic focusing motor plus vibration compensation...it will not be a "cheap" lens.

 

[Big Mike]

That sounds about right...just a little less than the Canon 70-300mm IS.
