OMG YESSS!!!! What a great discount!!!

...I still can't afford one...

@yxa That is incorrect, the Canon is $200 more.

To all the haters...

No one is forcing you to shoot M4/3 with this lens. By all means, lug around your bulky full frames with your giant telephoto's.

Might I remind you that not only is this a...

The 24-70 f4 Zeiss is not as sharp as this Tamron is.

Lets just say the reason I know this is I work at a camera store, and Tamron's brass was in here to show it off. All the way from Japan...

This lens is about to change the game. This is the FIRST third party full frame zoom offering in a constant 2.8...they are about to sell like hot cakes. People who have been unable to purchase the...

I'll take three..

I really want to see a short film shot with this...can you get a PL mount adapter? Lol...

What advantage does a turd have over a booger?

I know. I was just about to get the GH5S, but this made me pause in my tracks. For half the price, get similar dual native capabilities AND 12 BIT 4K RAW UP TO 60P.

Poor Panasonic must be crying...

Somehow the term fondling makes me cringe, even when its regarding cameras. 2018, am I right? lol

The OG!

You're right. Dammit. The only ISO I ever shoot at is 12,800. Guess I should sell all my GH5 gear...:p

Dude what are you talking about. You're gonna take some online videos that have a lot of compression applied to them already, and use that as your standard?

Look if you think Sony is better that's...

Yeah, 8bit UHD is better than 10 bit DCI...

Said no one who knew what they were talking about ever...

Dynamic range is the same btw. Shooting in log on both models gives you 14 stops.

There it is.

I knew Tamron couldn't announce a full frame E mount lens without Sigma dropping a ton of primes for it.

Useless? This is a typical mid range zoom favored by most professional and will be the first third party offering for people who can't afford the Sony GM version but want a constant 2.8 aperture.

Great! Now people finally will have a budget alternative to the 24-70 GM!

It is. I work for a camera store and was able to play with pre-pro demo. It feels exactly like a Gx85 just with an articulating EVF.

...but also better video features, don't forget.

Although it still doesn't hold a candle to the GH5/S, but still an improvement over the X-T2 for video.

My curiosity is piqued...can I see sample images? Also, how does it perform as a phone?
