The details of my title can be found in my blog at:
http://www.bobkeenanphoto.com/canon-versus-tamron-vc-24-70mm-f2-8-lenses/ (http://www.bobkeenanphoto.com/canon-versus-tamron-vc-24-70mm-f2-8-lenses/)
But the essence is that I love my Canon 24-70mm f2.8 but for the kind of shots that I do I need the IS. I had it with the 17-55 when I had an APS camera.
When Tamron came out with the VC version I jumped on it. Even though I know Canon has great glass and I knew very little about Tamron.
So..... I am happy I made the switch. Many of the finding in my blog match other reviews and finding. I used Reikan's Focal to verify some sharpness info. The Tamron is sharper at 70mm, the Canon better at 24mm. There is some vignetting at 24mm on the Tamron. I have not seen the onion bokeh. I think the bokeh is nice.
Bottom line its a good lens and that VC makes my day!!

Whoa!! so the new Canon 24-70 II does not have Image Stabilization? It was listed as such on B&H web site. Not now. So Canon is selling the new lens for about $700 more and no IS? :o
I personally hated my 24-70 due to all the Chromatic Aberration and sold it and got the 24-105 with IS. I tested both side by side and the choice was clear.
I was hoping to snag the new over-priced 24/70 II with IS after testing the CA. Would love to have f/2.8.
Amazed they are selling that reworked lens for about the price of a new 5D Mark II. ::)
