You can now preorder the new Tamron MFT lens at Adorama in Black (Click here) and Silver (Click here). And also at BHphoto in Black (Click here) and Silver (Click here). But the Adorama description contains an error as this is a 14-150mm lens 🙂

Hmm… 18-200. That’s a huge range.
Hmm…589$. That’s a huge price! 🙂
Price seems a bit ridiculous to me. You can get the EPM2 2 lens kit for half the price of this lens.
Admin, your price from the first post about tamron is not real, no chance to be 26.000 yen.
clueless admin again
14-150. Not 18-200.
B&H have cocked-up – this is for the Canon EOS M. Tamron announced three different zooms for different systems and they’ve mixed them up
The B&H page seems correct. I think this error is from Adorama. In any case, it looks like the price is more than double vs. yesterday’s report – if that holds it will indeed be a hard sell vs. the very good Panasonic 14-140 (newer f/3.5 version).
Admin said $255 in the last post, now it’s almost $600. WTF.
That 36-400 field of view would be pretty fun. But the actual 28-300 will be nice too. 😉 This lens looks really compact. A bit pricy, but if it delivers reasonably good optical performance, it will be a pretty sweet walking around lens, and totally worth it.
The well-proven good quality and fast AF Panasonic 14–140/3.5–5.6 seems to be a better deal even for $630, moreover, it has IS.
Agree!
This would be a no-brainer if it had VC on it. Cutting the VC lost this potential customer.
Tamron is cheap crap. 🙂
Tamron makes the 2 best zoom lenses for the Canon system right now. 24-70VC SP and the 70-200VC SP. Try and do your research before spouting nonsense. kthxbye
The same is true for Nikon. Very nice stuff. And the 24 – 70 seems to be the only stabilized zoom in that range at the moment. It offers much more value for money than the competition.
The 28-75mm 2.8 Tamron I have for my Canon 5D is not bad, either. Sharp and small that covers both full frame AND APS-C. Especially considering its price — less than $300! Too bad this one is priced as it is… I was hoping for no more than $400, which is more Tamron territory. Would have made a good travel lens.
The best two zooms for Canon? The are not well made (the front elements were falling out of the 24-70mm http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2012/09/tamron-24-70-f2-8-vc-issue )… In the two lenses you mention the build quality the IQ does not touch the Canon equivalents. Please do your homework. So how are they the “best” ?
“So how are they the “best” ?”
Probably in the area that is most important to him: Image Quality. Build quality is good enough for amateur use — I have had my Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 for more than 4 years now and no, the “front lens element were NOT falling out of mine”. Ever heard of the vaunted L lenses falling apart? Google and you will see, no lens is made of elf steel. When you say “the IQ does not touch the Canon equivalents”, do you have empirical proof or is that just your butt talking? Your original statement was crap.
elf steel ? Nooooo!!!, it’s steel from deep drawf mines under the mountain Elf made nice wood grid and leather pouch to protect lenses 😉
Oh, I see…we have a Tamron Fanbois here. Well..I can just call you cheap, like your lenses. You get what you pay for , vaunted one.
This is a harsh comment, they have good and not so good lenses but definitely not crap.
The only crap of this lens is the price…
$589.00 not $255!!
Price will be half off in no time, or they will not sell any (how it suppose to compete with Pana HD for $399 and new Pana f/3.5-5.6 for $630 when both have OIS?)
Wait, what? 18-200 in the picture would probably be even more interesting that the 4th 14-150.
Agreed. That would set have this Tamron apart from the upcoming Panasonic.
