Good Find........ but Tamron needs to work on their focusing method more than adding stabilization to a very superb wide angle.A Tamron 17-50 f2.8 USM @ $730 would be much more valuable to me than a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC at that price.

Well Done Jarhead!!

At that price I'd rather cash up and get the Canon, seeing as it's only like $250 more.

Neat! Hopefully the price will drop a bit. I wouldn't replace my Tamron 17-50 with the new VC version unless it came down at least one Benjamin.

Now the site states:
"We’re sorry, this item is no longer available."
Seemed to be a mistake.

I'll bet they weren't supposed to list it, yet.

Luckly i didn't oder the non-VC version of this lens back 2 months ago. Now I have a better option. The VC is nice though for everyday use, and I expect Tamron to make the optics at least as good as the previous one.
I love 6 year warranty too :)

The Filter Size went from67mm on the current model to 72mm on the VC. So, they didn'tjust add VC to the older model.
