I've got the Tamron 24-70 on order. I'll report my results when it arrives.

on hi iso FF, I think it might rock

I'm more curious about it for landscapes around f5.6 to f8.... And for people shooting wide open at base iso. But as a standard walkabout lens, it should be pretty nice.

on your modern FF, in low light, shoot f2.8, without flash, shoot some hi iso shots.  These Hi iso machines obviate the need to carry F1.4 -F2 primes.

That will be the power and value of that tool in a pj environment...imo

If you only needed stopped down scapes, you could do that with my 15-85IS and T4i, which combined, cost what your new lens costsĀ
