This is pretty exciting - the 24-70 f2.8 zoom lens for both Canon and Nikon are usually considered the pinnacle in zoom lenses in terms of sharpness and image quality. Tamron have announced their version of this lens, but one-ups both Canon and Nikon with optical stabilisation built in.
The full frame lens also features the ultrasonic drive, weather sealing and a rounded diaphragm for those nice blur effects. It will be available in April for $1300 USD (RRP).
If the image quality is comparable (along with build quality, etc.) then it might give some pause to those considering a standard zoom lens for their FF bodies...
