The Tamron is an excellent lens.  The VC even makes it more compelling compared to the Canon 24-70IS ii.

Here is a test shot I just took and uploaded for this thread.  I'm not a flower photographer so please forgive the composition

Shot with a 7d

dougeryb,

Thanks for uploading the picture!  I can't comment on the composition either, but the color and sharpness in the foreground are very nice.

I will have to think about renting that lens and see how it compares to shots that I take with the rented Canon 24-70 that's scheduled to arrive today.

Thanks for the advice!

Jennifer
