   Maybe a new FF super wide angle lens substitute of actual 17-35mm f/2.8-4 or the Tamron version of Sony fixed DT lenses Macro 30mm and 50mm f/1.8.

   Sony finally allowing Tamron to incorporate an SAN like technology into their line-up?

   70-200 2.8 VC?

   The SAM motor on Sony lens is the same Tamron BIM technology, I think the Sony SAM motor is really Tamron design.

   Could this be related to the GXR “modcam” lens system?!

     Yep, this would be possible and this would make it reasonable why they made such a loud announcement, with a big clock. Or perhaps they just made a new line of lenses?
     Or VC II ?

       Tamron doesn’t yet make lenses for 43. So I doubt it will do m43. But you never know. World is full of surprises

   Or will they launch a quality control that does deliver perfect products?

     Like Sigma’s 200-500/2.8?

    10-500mm f/1.2 with a new VC that allows you to handhold up to 1 hour long exposures, and a new AF motor that focus on yr subject before you even pick the camera up. And it’s the same size and weight as an 18-55 kit lens!

    They’re going to be the company to buy Pentax.

    And the merged company will be renamed Tampax.

    It must be their mirror-less camera with interchangeable sensor and lens mount.

    Would love to see a 24-70 2.8 VC. Or a 17-50 F/2 with a 82 mm filter thread. I figure they can do 17-50 2.8 in a 67 mm thread they must be able to do a straight f/2!

    As of now the countdown has a little tagline saying “It’s not a lens!”

    They revive the Bronica brand with a digital RF645?

    THAT would be worth a banner

      Actually, given that it is “something new for Tamron Europe”, I’d rather bet on an online shop for direct sale of lenses.
