Seems as if they are hurrying up to catch Sigma

Another ultra tele zoom?.........interesting!   

 

 

...............the Tamron Sport maybe?........recent ultra tele zooms are about the only lenses that I will consider buying new these days.....chiefly because they are such a great improvement over the older designs....

I think the two "added value" lenses are going to be similar to the recent 90mm macro: (optically) minor updates that add the dock compatibility to the otherwise already popular lenses. The larger lens is definitely the 150-600, and the smaller is probably the 24-70.

If they are anything near the 35 I will not be impressed so much really.

Their latest gang seems to be very overpriced.

  I like the VC though!

I am waiting for 12-35mm, f2.8 for m4/3...

I am wondering why the chinese are sill watching the big guys get huge profits in the lenses segment

they had a shy appearance with yungnuo and that's it, however In expect in a few years all this will change

It's a difference to design lenses or to copy them. And that will remain a difference, even in a few years, if the Chinese ever will be able not to steal other people's work and sell it a very different and for the consumer bad conditions, but also to invent something new.

 

It would be cool, if Tamron could fill the gaps still exisiting after 4 years Sigma Globalvision. We still have no real good FF-portrait lens from Sigma. I'm just afraid Tamron is a bit late. Everybody with a Sigma 35 or 50 mm Art will only go Tamron if he finds them too big and heavy. From my side, I will only go Tamron if they are really great. A 85/1.8 for nearly 1000$ is not really great, the Nikon version at half the price is very good. Also I'm not willing to send lenses for repair to Germany, that's quite costly.

Several sites have shown that the Yongnuo 50mm F1.8 is "not" a copy of the Canon.

 

 I agree though that the Tamron 85mm F1.8 is over priced.....the 35/45mm are reasonable however, given the VC.
