Tamron announced the development of an 8x superzoom, right now just for the E-Mount (boo), but maybe sometime in the future, Canon will get over its heebie-jeebies and paranoia and open up the RF mount. We can dream. This is an upgrade of the original model, and is expected to offer better image quality and faster autofocus.
This wouldn't necessarily be a lens I was interested in; the Sigma 20-200mm is more along the lines of what I'd find desirable in a super zoom.
That being said, more competition is good, even if we have to watch on the sidelines.
