I read about this today. I ususally a adopt a wait and see attitude when it comes to lenses and really depend upon what you write before I make a decision.
In this case, and not being a real Tamron fan I just feel that this lens can only perform below my expectations for an optic like this. It is going to rely so heavily on software correction that I fear the end result. Now I know there are some very good lenses that do a software correction because the design of the lens and system it goes on but zooms in general are not the best performers in the Tamron class of lenses and this one seems to be even more radical.
