Yep, and it's black. I hate it when my 70-200/2.8 L IS is attracting attention. Though screw Tamron for omitting VC in Sony mount - the lens will be less useful for adapting to E mount this way. Come on - Sigma did include the stabilization feature in their 70-200/2.8 for Sony mount (though it removed it from more basic lenses - screw them too).

The omission of VC for the Sony A mount is probably a marketing ploy from Sony itself (large stake holder in Tamron)... Indeed, it would be nicer if they had included it and let the user decide which IS to use.
