I'm hoping for something in that 10/14-24 range also...to fill in that bottom end gap. There is the 16-35, but doesn't fit in as nice.
16-35 on ff is as wide as the much praised 10-22 ef-s thing
True. Canon needs their own 'Holy Trinity'.
holy trinity....
i have some nikon friends that use this
Heh yep, Nikon has it first. Damn, lol.
There are numerous stories about the importance of AFMA. In the mean time, you should read the articles about "lens softness" on this website and also those about using AFMA (auto-focus micro-adjust)
Thank you so very much for pointing out afma for me - however, I think I have understood the general concept, so no need for patronizing.
What you may not understand: even if a lens needs afma, it's bound to focus *somewhere* like in the afma test strips. So I'm interested how afma can improve a lens that it isn't sharp *anywhere*?
Into the sunOooooooh! Lovely! I would love to learn your technique if you can share it.
A big ass reflector...

Tally up the recent blows to Canon on 3 major projects
1) Nikon D800 is better than the 5D3 in almost all aspects, even video.
2) Very overpriced Canon Cinema division got destroyed at NAB by Black Magic and Sony who stole all the buzz.
3) Now Tamron fills the I.S. niche that #1 feature in the 24-70 that Canon customers were begging and pleading for, but Canon failed to deliver.
Good photographers can somewhat compensate using HDR techniques, but the facts don't change that 5D Mark III has much lower DR than the competition.
I don't know why people are saying only landscape needs high dr - as soon as I'm shooting an animal with black & white fur or trying to raise the shadows I'm always wishing for more dr no matter what the scene is.
Canon raw files are said to have more potential for highlight recovery than Nikon, and while I cannot make the comparison myself Lightroom is certainly able to recover a lot with ettr images without using hdr - but it's annoying to to this with every second shot.
@kriptikracing
get an all-around zoom to start; better to get a fast one like a 17-5x f/2.8 stabilized
and it's beaten by tokina and sigma latest wide angle aps-c zooms...so sigma and tokina are better than canon and nikon in order to deliver aps-c wide zooms?
That's not my point. I am trying to repudiate the common belief that Canon is incapable of producing decent wide angle lenses.

True. Canon needs their own 'Holy Trinity'.
The fact that Canon EF-S 10-22 beats the c**p out of Nikon DX 10-24 gives us some hope that Canon will be able to pull off some magic with this rumored 14-24. Canon's EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 and recent EF 24-70 f/2.8 II further prove they are capable of great things.
The only issue as far as I can tell is cost.
All junks
we call a joke because we were very disappointed when it come out, really a step back from 50D
buying 2day it's really foolish for someone that is staring with photography, infact
all advantage except ergonomics over the rebel line are gone, and at the same price you can buy a nikon D7000 (slightly more expensive) or a pentax K5 (less expensive)
LOL...you gotta be kidding right? pentax??? What are you going to do with lenses??? Let me guess, Tamron and Sigma
I realize there are two versions of this lens (with and without image stabilization), so thoughts on either would be appreciated. To begin with, are Tamron lenses any good? I see they are much less expensive that Canon or Nikon, or even Sigma ... That usually does not bode well.
Thanks,

well the co9mparison between 5dmk3 and d800 is a non-sense. the 5d is better in several areas than d800, the 60D is worst than k5/d7000 in everything (except lens selection, but this is not a feature of the camera)
... I don't think a 5d3/d800 discussion refresh is necessary, but to stay on topic while outclassed by the d7000 the 60d runs magic lantern while Nikon doesn't have any 3rd party firmware add-ons - this was the decisive reason back when I decided to go the Canon path.
