The tamron is great but I did miss the 24mm at the wide.end and i really like native lens as everything in the same place. I like having an eye focus button on the lens as well. It's slightly sharper too across the frame.
So when one came up cheap I decided to swap.

Ultimately if you can afford it and can accept the size, native 24-70 is hard to beat.
Personally....I might go for the Tamron because I prefer 35/85 combo so the Tamron is closer to that, plus I RARELY use zooms so a cheaper door stop is best.

Bargain, I'd have had it for £1000 instead of the £750 for the Tamron, where was that from?Used. Got it for £1,000
Got a 85mm f1.4 GM coming tomorrow as well

You are just as bad, new filters, monitor...
In his defence, he has been looking at that monitor for about 6 months.
I on the other hand thought about it in the morning, ordered it by 3pm the other day

Next filter may or may not be turning up next week

Which monitor???.
Caporegime
I guess it can go in here as I will be using it for photography...
LG 34UM88C-P
Desk isn't done, so don't judge!
Got a monitor arm on the way and will pickup a decent KB&M in the next months.
Also I really pushed the boat out and picked this up off ebay for €4

Because it is amazeballs?
Joking aside, if you're not into 144hz gaming or need thunderbolt connectivity it is an incredibly good value for money giving what it offers - I paid €580 and it got me...
34" Ultrawide 21:9 Screen
3440x1440p QHD Display
IPS Display - 178 degree viewing angles
99% RGB Coverage, also it comes calibrated out of the box with the profile saved in it (you get a report with it)
5m:1 Contrast ratio
DisplayPort 1.2 Tech (if needed)
USB 3.0 Hub built in
Built in speakers are also decent for what they are
Freesync tech, also overclockable upto 75hz - so for your regular single player FPS games/non competitive stuff it does a great job.
PnP tech
It has some handy software where it effectively splits itself into multiple monitors, amazing for productivity.

Speaking from my brief experience on it so far, its a photographers/videographers dream. Amazing colour replication, so much space for tools and viewing space! You can work on panoramic images without having to zoom!

In short, any other monitor of this size is a considerble hike in price over for small incremental upgrades.
When you start getting to the bigger upgrades like 144hz you're talking a good few hundred more.
