It looks like Tamron is going to be busy at Photokina this year with lens announcements. We now see a 70-200mm f/4 VC patent, a lens that is likely to come to market.

We've now seen patents for a 60mm f/2.8 VC and 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 VC from Tamron in the last few weeks. I will note that in the patent for the 100-400 optical formula, there were also examples for a 150-600mm f/4.5-6.3 VC, the current lens starts at f/5.
