You are correct. There is only 1 version of this lens not 2. And it is an FE (full frame) compatible lens. And it's really darn good for a superzoom. I use mine all the time now.
I have the Sony 24-105 f4, would it make sense to get this? Think this isn't as sharp in center and corners.
That's tough to answer. I have the 24-105 but also added this lens for a couple of reasons: it's very uncommon for me to use f/4-I'm mostly at f8 or 11-and I'm very often going beyond 105mm but rarely using 24mm. In fact, I'm planning to sell my 24-105 because it's isn't necessary for my way of working now. Overall, the 24-105 is the better for image quality but the Tamron is good and just fits me better.

f/2.8 is useful at the wide end for travel; ex: indoor shots at bars and restaurants. Extra zoom range doesn't hurt either.
The lens isn't very sharp and it has a lot of scope creep, but it's good enough and its surprisingly well-corrected for the price; not much fringing and the coatings work well.
If you don't need the f/2.8 at the wide end, and/or the extra range, stick with your Sony, esp if you value the extra 4mm at the wide end.
This pretty much never leaves my a7c. I think the picture quality is very good, focus is fast and quiet, zoom covers most situations. It's not small, but it is not terrible. I really don't put other lenses on. I'm a dad taking kids pictures though, not a professional.

I presume they have priced matched the $649 as well.
