Yesterday I took a few moments to quckly read Pop Photography's article on this new Tamron lens. They highly rate the lens and say it will be available in Pentax mount, although not immediately. It looks to be an incredible value, with distortion amazingly controlled throughout the zoom. Contrast, color and sharpness are also said to be excellent. Here is the press release from Tamron:

Could make for an excellent choice for some of us.
Sorry if this was discussed here already.
