I took a 14-24, 28, 35, 50, 77, 105 and 100-400 on vacation with the family. Oh...and the 24-105, so I sort of did both. (Why you ask? Because I'm crazy.) I definitely got a workout.
Anyway what works for one may not be ideal for someone else, and vice versa. It's all cool.

Wow, that's... pretty crazy alright. I mean everybody do what works for them but i can't imagine carrying so much glass/weight on a trip, even on just for street photo which i do.
This Tamron isn't small nor light there is no denying this, however it also gonna make my bag pretty much empty (only Sony G 20/F1.8 will be there) so im ok with it.
Different people, different needs there is no right or wrong here. Having a lot of choice is good problem to have. Im wondering why there are no reviews yet and pretty much no pre-order atm anywhere.

If that is the correct price, they won't sell many. Getting too close to gmaster lens for same or not much more $$ in some cases. I look to Tamron for high value for the money. Not sure this is a good move...they needed to price this lens at under $1500 tops

The main idea of this lens is to cover both 24-70 and 70-200 lens.
If (the big IF) the IQ of Tamron 35150 to be comparable with abovementioned GMs (which most probably is not the case, bokeh in pre-review in Japanese looks bad, but it is too early to judge) the price looks justified.
Many people will be happy to swap their current zooms' set-up into 1635GM, 35150 2-2,8, 100400GM.

I don't think that's true. Most people even before were aware that the price of this lens will roughly be around 2000$ and it is indeed very close to that. For what this lens is it seems like a reasonable price, ofc like with everything it all depends on your wants/needs aka YMMV.
Im waiting for full reviews which will probably be published today or tomorrow but i expect it will have an excelent IQ just like 70-180, just faster and with more useful range. No talking about bokeh coz that's super subjective.

Pretty big and honestly I don't see a use case for myself currently, but for others who often need f/2.8 or faster along with a flexible zoom range like this (maybe wedding/event shooters?) I could see this solving a lot of problems when it comes to changing lenses etc.
I guess everyone travels different, but I'm not sure I agree with Tamron's description of a "travel zoom" as for me I don't often need the speed of f/2.8 or the size of the Tamron when traveling. But again, this might be due to my personal preference as opposed to anything else.

Maybe but it's still a third party lense and will have less value at resale. Also, it will not be able to perform above 15FPS for us A1 and A9 users. I want this lens to be great like the 70-180. But I would have issue spending $1800 on it knowing resale would be poor compared to Sony glass.

Huge 70-180 fan, here. I love it because it is fast,light and Uber sharp. It’s also an excellent value.
The 35-150 gives up some of these attributes. It is a bit heavy comparatively since not as long. It is expensive in comparison, too. It’s good enough re speed at the wide end.
If anyone were asking my advice, I would suggest getting the 70-180 plus a fast and lightweight 35 prime. Several good ones to choose from that could bring the total cost in at under the 35-150 price. The Sigma 35 f2 comes to mind as one stellar option.
As others have suggested, for a wedding shooter, this one lens solution checks all the boxes. For a one lens travel option, better choices include Sony 24-105 with IS that is not as heavy and can be found at just over half price of Tamron. For travel, landscapes and only one lens I need way wider than just 35.
If I were to guess, it won’t be a huge seller and may be available with a $200 rebate within less than two years of release. Now that I’m record with this prediction it’s certain to be a red hot seller 😀

This just don’t seem my style at all. When I use a 35 it’s usually for work needs grip and grin stuff. This would not work real well. Besides that I’m not the biggest zoom guy either. I’ll pass this one up. But I am thinking maybe that 70-180 might be interesting. I always rent the 70-200 GM and the copy variance sucks big time

The 70-180 really shocked me.. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is, especially owning mostly GM glass. Take care
