And if the AF can match the 16-35/2.8L II, it'll be a smash hit
I don't think anyone seriously expects it will.
If the past and present is any indication, 3rd party lens manufacturers can easily develop optically great lenses, but seem to have trouble rivaling USM and IS technology, at least to some degree.
While OS, VC, HSM and PZD are very fine on their own and do their job very well, they are certainly not equal to canon's counterparts in terms of outright performance.
I usually say OMMV when giving an opinion, but I don't think it's necessary in this case.
Of course, if Tamron pulled that off, that would be awesome.
I would certainly be in line to purchase one, that's for sure.
P.S.
This comes from a happy owner of several sigma lenses and a fan of their latest offerings.
