Hihi, could you kindly confirm if it was sold to you at 1600 nett? I purposely dropped by capture upon seeing your post. The seller said it was not inclusive of gst... so unfortunate otherwise I would have bought it on the spot... lol...

Blue hour at 故宫...
Handheld shot: 5D3+Tamron 24-70VC, ISO800.
FYI: this was shot in freezing -17deg C weather in Beijing...handheld. Given the circumstances, this would not have been possible without a tripod, so the VC saved me.
The two other photographers there were armed with Hasselblad HD4, Nikon D4 and tripods...Overall I consider this one of the better shots I got.

Suitable for portraits too, although I felt the focusing was really a bit slow.

The "slow" comment is only in relation to the fastest Canon USM lenses on a Canon body, perhaps not a fair test.
It is sufficiently fast to capture action, just that if your subject is constantly moving, it could be a little harder.

Nobody else shooting with this lens? I thought a lot of you bought it?

Me too. My favorite lens. Haven't taken it off since the first day.
All the photos taken since "Take 4" on my Flickr account were taken using the Tamron.
Some of my fav photos using the Tamron that show its sharpness and great colour :

I purchased a grey set yesterday from a online store for $1,159 with 3 years shop warranty, today went to the website and the price had been adjusted to $1,269. I am taking the risk for getting a bad copy and not getting a good service from the online store for around $400 cheaper. Hope it’s worth the risk.
QC depends on luck. Sold mine after 1 week due to AF issues and back-focusing on my 5DIII. The buyer didn't mind as sold to him at a huge discount for a local set. He got it sorted with the local service centre later and a happy chap now.
I am back to my nice 24-105L, which is very close in sharpness for most focal length (I have a really sharp version of it!) and yet with IS as well. AF is more stable than Tamron.

Ya, hoping i have the luck to get a good copy. In fact I am ‘downgrading’ from my Nikon 24-70mm as it was in my dry cabinet most of the time since I have my Mirrorless camera.
I still use DSLR occasionally so it would make more sense for me to replace it with cheaper alternative. Hopefully the downgrade will not compromise much in term of performance.

Got the Tamron 24-70 from Cathy Photo yesterday. Love it.
But would like to check with fellow brothers here, inside the Lens box, there's this Silkpix Developer Studio 4.0 for Tamron.
So who tried that?
I'm wondering, since mostly we'll be using the Camera's software instead.

I use this with both my 6D and 7D... Usual things.. It uses the centre sweet spot, so no issues with performance.. VC is mighty useful...
Only issue is that 24-70 on 1.6x crop works to 38.4 - 112mm.. Which is pretty telephoto... I find myself reverting more often to the 17-55mm for the 7D, and keeping my "Tammy" on the FF 6D instead...

Me. Pairing the Tammy 24-70 VC with my 650D. works beautifully. Sharp photos. Great Colours. I haven't encountered any CA, distortion, vignetting. check out my flickr account below. All the latest photos are taken with the Tammy.
Btw, from reading the MTF charts, the Tammy has identical image quality to the canon 24-70 mkII when used on a crop frame. So I feel that it is a great lens for a crop frame.
Cheers.
thanks for the update! ANy pics to share? I am still pondering this over Nikkor 24-70
