The new Tamron 70-200 VC on DxOMark

At least the Canon version, which bodes well for the Nikon version.  I posted this in one of the threads here, but I don't think anyone really saw it.  DxOMark review is quite good.  I was thinking about getting the Nikon VRII at the rebate price, but seeing as how I only need the 2.8 a handful of times each year, I believe I'll be getting the Tamron instead.  Still hasn't released in the US, but it is out in Japan.
