Originally posted by johnc I can never understand why the knives seem to be out for this lens in reviews and on forums, I think it is really a very decent hunk of glass, as DimC, Rondec, Hattifnatt etc. prove again and again!
A couple more from me, x-posted from the K-1 thread. I struggled with the travel tripod (mainly owing to the blowy conditions) at the Glenbrittle Fairy Pools yesterday, Isle of Skye, Scotland.

Well that's strange some people dont like this lens because in terms of IQ and AF it's really great.
So maybe it's because this lens being a rebranded Tamron sold for a little more than the original one for Canon or Nikon, people just dont like this fact I dont see their point though.
If this 24-70mm was not available Ill be very disapointed to be honest.
Originally posted by Hattifnatt I have almost never used a zoom before getting this lens, only primes. Being accustomed with the image quality a good prime can offer, I must say I'm very happy with this lens.
Few more samples.
Wonderful!
Originally posted by johnc Superb set! I love them.
Something a little bit different from me, some textures from the shoreline today:
