I have the Canon version of this lens, its pretty good but mine wasn't well focused out of the box, had to buy the Tap-in-Console to make manual adjustments. Was kind of a pain to be honest, but if you get one that is well focused for your camera body out of the box its a very good lens, especially at this price, I paid $409 for mine.

I mean, obviously, this is just another sign of EF mount near death as everything is RF mount going forward. Same for Nikon going Z.

Oh also for any potential Canon buyers, just know that the focusing rings rotate the opposite direction of Canon made lenses, Nikon users won't have a problem since Nikon made lenses rotate the same direction as the Tamron.

Exactly! I purchased this 8 months ago b/c I couldn't afford a new or even used 2.8 lens. This is certainly not as fast and IQ is not quite as good, but for under $400, it is VERY well worth it. Good image quality and excellent build quality (weather-sealed, too, I believe).

I think it's rather that there's so much competition in this focal range now.

I got a Nikon 70-300 AF-P DX factory refurb for $130, and it's amazingly sharp and fast focusing. The FX version is even better. The Tamron 100-400 has less competition and is still going for MSRP.

Nikon's own 70-200 f/4 is also getting a lot cheaper especially used so tough competition in this space.

I give EF a decade before they officially discontinue it.

The main cost advantage that Canon had/s over Sony (probably the main mirrorless competition) was their backlog of inexpensive ef/ef-s lenses that could be easily picked up used.

With the speed that they're releasing rf lenses, though, they're quickly creating a new lens mount ecosystem that is RF only, and RF lenses don't have that cost advantage anymore.

Amateurs and prosumers (and probably 1D shooters even less) are what will keep the ef/ef-s lens system supported for at least a little while, because mirrorless isn't a big jump in image quality or anything, and dollars are dollars.
