Just returned from an overseas trip.
I saw the new Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 VC. I was not allowed to bolt it to my camera.
Dealer had a 90 f/2 Macro.
Also, saw the new 200-500 VC. It looks like Tamron improved the optics to max 5.6 vs 6.3.

I have 4 Tamron lenses now. The 17-50mm f/2.8, 2 x 24-75mm f/2.8 and the 70-200mm f/2.8 all are great lenses for the money. Tamron would do well if they got more in the prime lens market. Canon is killing me with the cost of their prime lenses.

I own a Tamron 28-75 and not really waiting for an VC version because I have an 1D MKII which is heavy so an light lens like the 28-75 there is hardly any shake.

If you have an lighter camera like then it is it a good choice because they a lot lighter and I even can keep those completely still.

I have also an 70-200 IS from Canon and it is an really good lense and IS helping to take the shots without needing an mono-pod.

More than 95% of the pictures I take are with the 28-75 so I am a big fan of this Tamron lense.

btw I guess that Fuji, Samsung and Sony must’ve read the 17 feb announcement rumor since they’ve all just unveiled a dozen or so P&S…

Yes. VC = vibration compensation.
