The comment from the original website.
"The concentric rings are caused by a water droplet on the front element as it was beginning to rain"

I currently have the Canon 24-70mkII pre-ordered... but this is looking very tempting.
How do Tamrons hold up for resale value?

Generally they are nowhere near an original Canon lens (which hardly loses any value). However, if it turns out to be a gem, it might hold its value pretty well.
Still looking for someone with Tamron customer service experience to tell us how they handle issues.

I have been torn between the Canon 24-70 & 24-105 IS. Which do I need more, the IS or f/2.8? Since I have never had a bride complain about the sharpness of the 24-70mm f/2.8 (which I rent for now), I really don't see the need to get version II at this point. I would much prefer to see stabilization and was hoping to see this on the new 24-70 which is why I was waiting to purchase it. Now I am leaning towards the Tamron

So this last weekend I got to handle and take a few shots with this lens at a local store. I have to say that I am really impressed, to the point that I may sell my 24-105 and spend the extra cash to get one.
Size is at a sweet point, it did not seems all that heavy on my 5D mk1, but then I use it with the battery grip. The effect of the VC was obvious when I looked through the lens. The build feels solid. The real test will be images. I am not posting any of the few images I shot because frankly they sucked not because of the lens but because a setting error on my part. I plan on taking one out to test shoot.
