This is all fine and good, but they really needed to put their VC on their 70-200 f/2.8 and the their 200-500 long zoom! What is taking them on this?

As it was quite sharp before, I doubt that one can expect much improvement there. In my opinion the biggest problem with this lens is the quality of the bokeh, which often seemed “turbulent”. I doubt that we see improvements here, as adding VC is a rather big improvement itself. But we’ll see…

I wonder if the optics have been improved or if they’ve just added VC?

Yes. APS-C size sensors only. The “DI-II” indicates that the lens is designed for the smaller sensors.

From Tamron’s Web site: “When pictures are taken with a Di-II lens on a full-size format, image corners become dark (ie., vignetting becomes noticeable).”

Finally, it has taken the genius from Tanrom to do it. Is it technically that hard for Nikon or Canon to design such a lense. I have been waiting for something llike this… i hope it will as good as there pervious model. Thank you Tamron!

Finally, also someone who likes the tele-character of 2x-7x mm on DX!

Interesting news, I hope they’ll make a 28-75 VC too. Would be a much more interesting lens for me.

This is nowhere to be found outside this site. Not even the Tammy web site has this lens

What have you been smoking? A lens with ISO performance?

it is. And I can’t wait to see its high ISO performance

But I am really grateful for the camera, as it most probably will have an impact on Nikons D300(S). Finally…
