Samyang's new 24-70mm F2.8 AF (Sony E Mount) lens is available through their site for $999.99 with a 10% discount code "OFF10" (noted on site's top banner).
Sale also did not include sales tax for me so it was $899.10 with free shipping.
Went with this lens over the Sigma due to not wanting to gamble with the dust issue.
This is a Pre-order, will ship when available. There are very few reviews but this one is quite in-depth:

Focusing and Sharpness is decent for an all in one but isn't as good as primes in general or even the tamron 70-180 or 35-150, though both are significantly more expensive.
I have the Tamron 28-200mm, and it's very convenient to use but not once have I looked back at one of my photos with that lens and been impressed with the imaging quality. I'm going to sell it.
I'd love to see a direct comparison of this Samyang vs the Sigma for sharpness and light transmission!
I think the stock is slowly arriving. I saw one in stock yesterday at Unique Photo. I just checked now and said out of stock but you can add to cart and shipping is in 5 days.
