Florian: I see in your signature that you do not longer have the Tamron 24-70/2.8. Is it so and if so, why? No good?

Neither the 70D nor the 7D mkII will have same or better low ISO-performance. Not a chance. Crop vs FF etc.

Excellent review Dustin! Only thing stopping me from getting a 6D is a price drop *hoping*

I'm sure it will happen at some point, but I do doubt it will be significant before holiday 2013.  Dropping the price too low on the 6D might have the unintended effect of cannibalizing 5DIII sales.

I might just got lucky! The price here in Sweden just went down to equivalent of $2.471 tonight at one of the retailer. The offer is valid throughout this week. I might take the chance and pull the trigger...

I see. What holiday? What does your "holiday" mean for us non - North Americans? :-)

Lenses / Re: DXOMark Reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS

Being interested, I opened up lightroom and looked at the number of images I take with my 35mm at wider than f2.  I was suprised to find it was 43.7%.

How do you get that info from LR?

Anyone else using the Canon EF 40mm pancake? Seems like the 50/1,4 is the most popular gal' in the class for street photos.

So far, Canon EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS USM on my 40D crop.

The second reason is that I find for a zoom lens it provides a "fade to cream" bokeh transition that is more like prime than a zoom.  Many people have talked about "onion bokeh", which I have seen twice in months of ownership and thousands of shots.  But the bokeh in 99% of scenarios is actually excellent:

Nice bokeh! Very interesting post I must say. I've been thinking of buying a Canon EOS 6D as my first FF (have an old 40D + 17-55/2.8 IS right now), but I have been second guessing the loss of the brilliant 17-55/2.8. Now you show what I find excellent results with the Tamron 24-70/2.8 VC. Maybe it's the perfect replacement for the 17-55 and a better choice over 24-105/4L?

Sorry for borrowing the thread, if you'd like, I can proceed via PM.
