I just got the Tamron 24-70 VC because it
sounded very interesting for video filming and wrote a quick review vs. my Canon 24-70, with special regard to bokeh testing, if anyone is
interested!
I included example pictures of Tamron’s highlight bokeh with image stabilizer and without image stabilizer compared to the one of the Canon lens.

I owned the VC 17-50 Tamron and liked it alot for video and photo’s. I used it on my 7D. I since sold my 7D and 17-50 VC. I am now getting the new FF 6D when it comes out. This new VC 24-70 looks awesome! THANK YOU!!

Hi Lee, I totally agree, I own both, I could not resist the slow hand-held capabilities of the VC version and the sharpness of the Non VC version, although it sounds like it’s auditioning for the next Transformers character, the sharpness is unrivalled, I have even broken even with Canon’s 16-35 f/2.8. However I can send you a sample I have taken with it.
Really worth/

Another thing to ad that people really tend to forget, many times lenses differ in performance even brand new, I have had ”lucky copies” of lenses that are supposed to SUCK REAL BAD!

I just received my copy of the Nikon version, seems fairly similar to the Nikon 24-70 but a little wider with more barrel distortion at 28 and slightly more vignetting. Very sharp with and without VC. It definitely helps video stability. Stills at 1/20 are way sharper with VC.
My question/issue is that I noticed that when zoomed to 70 with the barrel extended, if you look at the end that attaches to the camera, a lot of circuitry is exposed around the optics. Could any dust, debris, etc. fall out of this area and into the sensor of my new D4 during heavy use? All my Nikon lenses are sealed where they attach to the camera.
