CNet's UnderExposed Blog has coverage of new Tamron lenses and availability! In summary, the lenses updated are:
The new SP AF 70-200 is available for pre-ordering at Amazon, delivery is expected in 2 to 5 weeks from now, and the price is $700. Amazon does offer a pre-order and post-order price guarantee, so you will get the lower price if there is a price-drop up to 30 days after your item is shipped. Each picture below is for a different mount. Mouse over for more details.




The lenses are also featured at digitalcamera.jp, computer-translated from Japanese to English.
PS> Di are digitally optimized lenses, but work on 35mm full frame cameras
PS2> Di II are cropped-sensor lenses (DX, DA, EF-S, DT, you name it), and not recommended for 35mm full frame cameras
Update: We missed the SP AF 10-24 f3.5-4.5 Di II LD (IF)
Among all the waves of announcements, we missed the new Tamron 10-24 lens. But Photography Blog has the details. This is a [Di II] lens, meaning you can only use it on cropped sensor DSLRs which gives it an equivalent range of about 15-36mm. It will be available in CMNP, which is old-school for Canon, Minolta-Sony, Nikon and Pentax. Price not mentioned, and we did not find it on Amazon for pre-ordering.
