I don't have one, although I am strongly considering purchasing one. I think my limit for the lens is $1300 before tax, though, a price point I expect the lens to hit within four to six months. I volunteered to the PhotoNews guys to do a review (one of their employees was on here and questioned about a reviewer) but got no response.
If (when) I do get my hands on one, I will do a full review.

I'm making the 70-200 purchase by early March and with the rebates going away I'm sure it will be the Tammy for me. I just wish I could get my hands on one locally. I may just rent one for a weekend to solidify my decision. If I do I'll add my 2cents here.

That would be great! I still haven't seen as many reviews as what I would like, yet. Ditto for the new 35mm f/2 IS lens.

Here's a picture that wouldn't have been possible without Tamron's great VC:

To get the movement of the snow I had to drag the shutter somewhat (1/15th of a second here - @ 70mm). The image is perfectly crisp even at 100%.

Here's another shot taken at 70mm and 1/15th of a second. I would say that my keeper rate at that type of shutter speed is pretty much 100%. I only start to get some blurred/some sharp rates at 1/6th or lower.
