I am looking for some real world experiences from Tamron 24-70mm users. Ideally ex-Canon/Nikon f/2.8 zoom owners.
I am primarily looking at this for the IS (VC) function. My Canon mk1 is Ok, but I do miss stabilisation quite a lot. mk2 is a bit too expensive and being non-IS doesn't really interest me that much at the moment.
Is the tamron just as sharp in practice (I've seen the MTFs but are they really like that?) I am looking for good sharpness down to the corners at 100% for landscapes, so anything less than good copy of Canon mk1 won't cut it.
How is the focusing accuracy, speed and build quality? I won't throw it on the ground, but it will get some slight abuse in the rain or camera bag.
Finally had anyone had duff or misaligned copies (i.e. soft side, etc), or any other problems?
