Looks like a great lens. Hoping to replace my 24-105mm for travel. I know the weight is extra, but a step or two of light and almost 50% more reach should be worth it.
Indiscriminate, casual shooting wider than 35 mm might not be generally a good idea. . .
Sorry, but can't agree with you on this one, Ruth. I can't think of many situations where I would recommend that a photographer should indiscrimimately. The range of 24-35mm is essential for many of us pros. 35 just isn't wide enough although it's a great focus length for many situations.
I do like what you are saying about assessing a situation before deciding on a focal length. Too many photographers let the zoom do what the eyes, legs are arms should be doing before composing. For those who consider trading in their 24-105 for this fine Tamron zoom, I'd suggest picking up one of several small, light and fast, 24mm lenses on the market. You just may find you'll want it/need it.
