UPDATE: It's officially been announced!
My take:
-That's one heavy lens!
-The bulbous front element looks like it protrudes pretty far by looking at the photo
-It's nice that the focus ring is slightly wider than the 24-70mm VC
-LOVE the new gray color scheme
-First wide angle f/2.8 with IS... for the right price, and hopefully with the right image quality, this thing might be an absolute winner!

Tamron apparently rumored to announce a new 15-30mm f/2.8 full frame lens tomorrow.
So many great UWA zooms lately for us Canonites Especially if the Sigma 14-24mm f/4 OS rumor comes true.
