If Tamron made their 70-180mm f2.8 G2 lens for Fujifilm X I would sell my Fuji 70-300mm and 50-140mm lenses.
I wait for Tamron.

The 70-180mm is the perfect complement to my Tamron 17-70mm lens.
None of Tamron's other APS-C X-mount lenses have aperture rings. Why would the 70-180 need one.
The first generation, 70-180 f2.8, Nikon rebranded it to a Nikkor lens. Then Tamron upgraded the optics and added OIS without adding much size/weight in the G2. It looks like a smashing lens. I am not only hoping that it is ported over to the X mount as a replacement of the 50-140 f2.8 which is an aged lens design, but also to the Z mount where it would one would only give up 20 mm for a lens that is half the size and half the cost of the Z 70-200. I have the Tamron Z 150-600 which is a really nice lens on the Z mount.
Tamron has been making some really nice high quality lenses zoom lenses of late. The new Z mount 28-75 G2 is a top notch lens and after I recently picked it up spends most of its time on my Z8. The 17-70 X mount seems like a top of the line option for a mid range zoom for X mount.
