Okay this is very unscientific but hey worth a look and see if it makes some sense.
If you look at the video posted earlier stop it at about 8 seconds in. Pay attention to the lens mount size and the front of the lens diameter . If you look closely they are almost the same size in diameter . Now look at the images posted here 67,72,77 now IGNORE the barrel on each lens just look at the mount and the front filter size.
The second image posted i have a 67mm hood in reverse over the mount and it looks to me it kind of matches the Toking in the video. I know I know this is crazy but hey i thought it was interesting at least

I'm thinking 67mm as well. I have a Tamron 35/1.8 in my hand that's got a 67mm thread, appears wider if anything to me, but assuming we're not going smaller... I don't think it's a 72 anyway. I also trust more a post made by Tamron Hong Kong, then an anonymous reader tip from a conversation with a rep. Let's consider the source...
Also, just took a rendering of that lens. Took a few measurements off existing E mount lenses. I'm making the assumption that the mount sits about even with the camera like other lenes, which is ~62mm. I tool the pixel size on the bottom, divided it by 62mm and multiplied it by the pixels on top. I get 68mm. I think unless they change the front filter thread on the final product we'll see 67mm.

Thanks Guy. I just re-checked 5 lenses & electronic adapters and it actually seems to range from about 60.5-62mm, so that 68.2 in my math should probably be closer to 67 anyway. I'm good with it unless they change design. Agree, if it's good at 2.8 it's a buy for me.

If you look at the photo on p. 5 from Jonathan Brady of a side-by-side with a lens with a known 82mm filter size, enlarge the image a little and measure, you can get a pretty good estimate of the filter size. On my ipad, I get an estimate of 67.4mm. So looks like a 67 to me.

I'm happy with my older Tamron 28-75mm/f2.8 lens for Canon. I can use it with my Sony APS-C (or full frame) with the MC-11 adapter. The newer model may be way better, but so will the price.

550g? f/2.8? 28-75? Hallelujah! Someone gets it! LIGHT. WEIGHT. LENSES! for mirrorless cameras! I don't even like zooms but I might just get this one to send Tamron the message that your emphasis on small-but-capable is welcome! No Sony or Sigma dumbbells for my little Sony-cam!

They're up from the recent success of the Batis lenses, a good example of a sound collaboration. ALL the Batises are model lenses, optically excellent and light weight. Tamron is hopefully about to demonstrate to the major players (and rival aftermarket supplier Sigma) how to make a mid zoom lens people actually want, will carry and will use.
They have, all these makers, been able to make light-moderate lenses in the past. Now there is nothing but intransigent design teams' preferences behind the incomprehensible rush to join the trend to lens bloat.
People want small-light-excellent, why is this obvious fact so hard to absorb?

I love the detective work!
Not in the market for this lens, but I agree: Great central 2/3 resolution/sharpness and rendering directly from f/2.8, and it's a winner. I think it's fine if the periphery doesn't sharpen up until f/5.6 or f/8.

Indeed!
Maybe Tamron is our best hope for a killer 35mm f/2 that's a razor wide open and gets the corners delivered by f/5.6. At this point I don't care if it's in Zeiss uniform for 50% more, or no frills Tamron plainclothes. I would like those Zeiss coatings though.

I'm also hoping Tamron is designing their lens from the ground up and making some small and sharp primes at a decent price. The 28-75mm is a good start.

That there is no Batis 35 1.8 yet is a mystery of the universe.
