There are a few refurbished ones on eBay being sold by National Camera Exchange. I just bought one. Right now, they have three more. Hopefully this link will work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394049880179?epid=10050731164&hash=item5bbf340073:gVEAAOSwVGZiapgk

Wow, The 5 of them sold quickly and I missed out. Actually called them also and they are all sold.

Yes, they did sell out very quickly. Sorry that you missed out. I wonder if they will be getting another group of refurbished lenses in. Might be worthwhile to call them back and see.

I was fortunate to catch these after only one had been sold.

I did ask to put me on a list if more come in but they don't do lists anymore.
They did it at one time but it had created problems.
It's good to see there are ones getting released.
I've been on the B&H list since it was released with no luck.
Glad you were able to get one!

There's one in the B&S forum here, but looks like they're looking for a local sale in MD or PA.

I put in an order at B&H and waited over 2 months with no movement. Ultimately managed to buy one from a FM member and I love it.

Thanks for this thread everyone; I'm also trying to find one of these gems to replace my 24-105. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

Kind of interesting that there are already refurbs of this lens. I wonder if there is a "common defect".

No idea. I would guess that every lens model has some percentage of less than perfect products. Hopefully, whatever the issue, it was taken care of by Tamron and these refurbs are ok. They do come with a warranty from Tamron (I don't remember the length offhand), but it is not as long as the 6-year warranty that Tamron provides if purchased new.

Not sure how Tamron runs things, but for some manufacturers, they pull random products off the line to do quality tests on, and since they're technically "used" during the quality testing, they can't be sold as "new" so they're then sold as "refurbished". These occasional refurbs we're seeing may just be the QC test units.

I wonder what happens to the "decentered" returned lenses? Do they go through some testing at Tamron and end up as refurbished?

That would make the most sense imo. They just fix them and resell as refubs.

call Competitive Camera in TX. They have one in stock now. They don't have eCommerce set up yet so can't order online. CALL in.

Thanks for the tip! Managed to snag one. If anyone else is looking for one, they said they had a few more!

Anyone that is in the market for one, I just got a notification that Kenmore Cameras has them in stock.

Never purchased from them myself, but the google reviews look good.

Yeah I'm kind of bummed I didn't get this email earlier; Competitive Cameras only lets you call in to order and basically wouldn't let me upgrade to faster shipping, pushing me with "it'll be there before the end of the week", only to find out it'll be Monday. ☹️

Yeahhh that weekend wait is no fun. At least it's on the way. It'll be Monday before you know it.

True, though I'm also a little concerned what happens if I get a bad lens and dealing with this company; I've never bought from them before.

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the last one today. A couple of days ago I decided to pick one up for a trip to Europe in June. Couldn't find one anywhere until I saw your post.
