After seeing this:

How could anyone consider one of these lenses? The company blatantly showed us who they are by bringing these lenses to market. I spent the money (which was dear), for the Canon and never looked back. Great lens that most likely will last for years. If I see the name Tamron I just turn the page...I would not consider any of their products....I also own non-Canon lenses (Sigma & Zeiss) so my outlook is not just Canon fanboy ism....

Hi Roger!
Any new problem with this lens? Any others which has failed in the mean time? How does the one repaired hold up now, are they sharp?
I would like to buy this lens but I’m not sure since reading this report, and now that the Canon 24-70mm F/4 has been announced with the macro mode, I’m even less sure! thanks!

Hi Jasmin,
No new trouble and no more copies to have the second element problem. It’s really doing pretty well, and quite a nice lens.
