Care to share your opinion and if its a true competitor for Canon 70-200mm F2.8L?

There is a review on dpreview and seem to be a worthy challenger. Too bad there isn't an option for Tamron's VC to compete with Canon's IS.

    Just searched and read couple more post. I guess its still too new to have any decent review or comparison. May be I should just stick with 70-200 f/2.8L rolleyes1.gif
