Wait! Where will this rank in the 5D line up? I just spent $2,200 on a 5D2, money I don't really have. If this newer but 'cheaper' FF camera out does the 5D2, I think I will cry and then die a little bit inside!!!

Really hope that is not the case.

Anyone care to shed some light on this? Please and thank you.

I'd like to see info on the Tamron's vignetting. In the few lenses I've compared over the years, Tamron lenses had much greater vignetting than Canon's, especially at wide open apertures.

Look up That Nikon Guy on Youtube. He has about 5-6 videos with the new Tamron. He is using a Canon mount on a 5D2. From what I have seen, the Tammy looks pretty good.

I will be happy if the Tammy truly falls between the Canon Mk I and II in real world uses( for me, those are weddings). Hopefully it will hold up to some degree of abuse even though I am pretty careful with the very little gear that I have

Man, this is starting to look better and better! I was going to wait a couple years(hopefully won't take that long) to get the new EF 24-70 mk II, but for way less money, this might just sway me. I am a budding wedding photographer, and am thinking about getting a 24-70 for the sake of versatility. My current setup is all primes and any zoom I get will have to be close in terms of IQ.

Waiting to see how this will compare to the ef 24-70 II...
