Title says it all, but being more broad here, I'm looking to buy a 24-70 and since Tamron's EF is less than half the price of Canon's RF, I'm considering it.

TAMRON SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 has Vibration Control / Image Stabilization built in and it works well on EF cameras.

I couldn't find anything online that tested the lens on an R6 and its impact on IBIS, if it stacks or not, if only lens or only IBIS works or none.

Do any of you fellow photographers have any info on this?

Hope someone can chime in with this lens.

The only Tamron that I have is the 100-400mm 4.5-6.3 di vc usd that I bought brand new in 2018 for my 5Ds. I recently got the R6MKII and tried this lens. Focusing was so-so. Then I only found out that there was a firmware upgrade on Feb. 2019. So I bought a Tap-In console and updated the firmware. Focusing is much better and fast. For IBIS, I can get up to 3 stops from 100-300mm but for 400mm best I could do is 2.5 stops. BTW, I turned on both VC and IBIS in the R6MKII.
