But I do however have to take Canon to task for charging $200 for the tripod ring.... the lens is pricey enough and the ring should have been included!
so unless Canon have decided they will put the ring in (or Adorama include it) I would go with the guys that have the lens in hand (but not on a tripod
)

Thank you, Yakim. I will check with the Canon buyer when he gets in leter this morning, and come back to you.

Just confirmed - it was a website error which is being corrected.
My apologies to all who were inconvenienced and thanks to all for your understanding.

Tamron is lighter, smaller, it's black and the IQ is probably like 95% of the L (someone bring on the direct comparison!).
So I fail to see the whole purpose of this lens. It's stuck in the middle between several target niches, not particularly fitting any one of them.
Well it remains to be seen if the tamron's IQ is 95% of the L's. I actually very much doubt that. If it is, then L is dead of course.

That's why the question merits a head-on comparison of the two lenses. It's not like I'm going to get the L over the Tamron whatever the new results, but others might find it very helpful and enlightening.

I got a few of the Tamron today and I will say clearly it won't compete on autofocus speed. Its a leisurely autofocusing lens. Even the original Canon 70-300 IS is quicker to autofocus. That's probably not a key point on this kind of lens, but its a point. The other thing is the Tamron VC does not have a panning mode, it fights you if you try to pan.
I'm now out of the Canon 70-300L so I can't do a head to head yet, but should have some more in next week.

Just got mine (ef 70-300 L) today from a local shop. Everything looks great except it feels a little bit too fat.

I'm curious to know what you new owners think about the build quality. Does it deserve the red ring or does it feel plasticky or? Thanks for any insight.

It is like a tank if not stronger.
