I bought the Rokinon 24-70 F2.8 which is the US version of the Samyang. It's a hefty lens and you cannot compare it to the Tamron which starts at 28 but end at 75. That 4 mm missing on the wide end...

I have an adapted Canon 16-35L for serious shots if need be so the 28-200 is exactly what I want and I think the photos look great. I print out a lot of my stuff over the years and some of my best...

No problem. AF is fine, nothing amazing, but more than fine, and it's sharp enough for most things. It's a wonderful little do-it-all lens.

Hmm I guess it's a lot more expensive but if it brings out the quality on the 35-150 hmm..
Thanks for the response. I'll keep this in mind but now I'm starting to look at the 35-150mm. I am...

Sharpness is nothing amazing, def much lower than the f/2.8 zooms, but most importantly is that it's sharp enough. Just depends what your expectations and needs are. I like it for walkaround and...

Good to know, thanks. Sometimes that happens where the biggest retailers (B&H, for example) get fulfillment last, ironically.

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.

Not sure if it was mentioned earlier in the thread, but Sony is heavily rumored to be releasing a mark 2 of their 24-70mm GM lens sometime this year. Not sure how it will influence the pricing of...

I haven't had a chance to test it extensively since it's the dead of winter here and freezing cold and whatnot but for what I want it for it's good so far. I was sold from the test shots I did in the...

Focusing is just so so. May miss focus especially if you have someone running towards you.
Focusing and Sharpness is decent for an all in one but isn’t as good as primes in general or even the...

Except it's a manual focus lens, so you should compare it to something like Canon FD 85mm/1.2, which is around $900.

On the 28-200 is it pretty good at quick focusing/sharp? I'm thinking about buying one as a present and I'm not great at this stuff. I've read a lot of reviews but was wondering real world usage.

Again: a few tiny small-town onesies got an initial run, but when I wrote that "you" can't get this lens, I meant generally almost every single human being on the planet.

I was literally offered it for sale last Saturday so you can get this lens. Had it in hand, put it on my camera, took photos and could buy it if I wanted. I am very confused what part of my comment...

Stores are showing them but not selling them yet. A few mom-and-pop stores have dribbled them out from an initial sample run, but that's irrelevant. You can't get this lens.

I literally tried the "vaporware" lens out last weekend and it was in stock at the store I bought my 28-200 from. LOL
