Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Lens Patent
Tamron has filed a patent for a 150-600mm f/5-6.3 lens, which would presumably feature Tamron’s Vibration Compensation. The big telephoto zoom lens would be the longest reaching zoom lens in Tamron’s lineup if/when it is released – taking the title from the current sub-$1000 Tamron 200-500mm f/5-6.3, which it would likely replace.
Sigma has a similar lens with its 150-500mm f/5-6.3 OS model priced at just over $1000, which should give us an idea of the price range we might see the Tamron at if to comes to life. Given that it’s a new model and the extended reach, I’d put the price range somewhere between $1200-$1400 if I were betting on it.

Tamron Unveils New 1:1 Macro Lens, the SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD
The Tamron SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD lens is a new 1:1 macro lens that will be available for Canon, Nikon and Sony Alpha mount cameras later this year.
As with the new Tamron 70-200mm lens announced today, the Canon and Nikon mount version of this 90mm macro lens will features Tamron’s Vibration Compensation, while the Sony model will not due to the presence of Sony’s sensor-based SteadyShot image stabilization system. As such, the Sony models is designated as the Tamron SP SP 90mm F/2.8 Di USD.
Pricing for the new lens has not yet been announced. I would expect this lens to be priced in the $1000 range. The current non-VC Tamron 90mm macro lens retails for $499 at present.

Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD Lens Announced
Tamron has announced a new 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. The new lens will be available for Canon, Nikon and Sony Alpha mounts later this year.
The Canon and Nikon mount version of the lens will features Tamron’s Vibration Compensation, while the Sony model will not due to the presence of Sony’s sensor-based SteadyShot image stabilization system. As such, the Sony models is designated as the Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di USD lens.
Pricing for the new lens has not yet been announced. However, I would expect this lens to be priced in the $1500-$2000 range. The current non-VC version is quite the bargain at $769 right now.

Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD Lens In-Stock
B&H Photo has the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD lens in stock. At $1299, this lens is substantially more affordable than the upcoming Canon 24-70mm non-IS lens.
The Nikon version is due out later this month, but is still available for pre-order.
Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD Lens Announced
Tamron has announced a nice-looking 24-70mm f/2.8 lens that has image stabilization (or “Vibration Compensation” as Tamron says) built into it. The new lens has a silent drive AF that should put into the conversation with Sigma’s 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, as well as an alternative to the Canon and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses.
I don’t think any other manufacturers offer a stabilized 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, so this makes Tamron somewhat unique. Surprisingly, it weighs 825g, which puts it in the same weight category as other 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses – and it is, in fact, lighter than some of them.
Tamron hasn’t announced any pricing for the new lens; however, the feature-set and touted quality lead me to believe it will be at or above the $1000-mark. When it is made available, you should be able to find it for Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts.
