Arthur,
I'm not so sure that Tony Northrup has it right with the Tamron G2 70-200mm, and maybe it doesn't help that he is not going to test it. He states that it has worse focus breathing than the first version, this doesn't tally with some other reports which state it is actually a slight improvement.
I'm not so sure that the closer distances of your different sites if it is air distortion is what you are referring to, also some lenses actually have worse resolution at MFDs, Klaus/BC may know more here.
I thought as the Tamron G2 could focus closer the FB problem might have been slightly alleviated(not eliminated though) Anyway the lens seems nothing other than excellent.
The Tamron 10-24mm G2 also looks like a winner...... who is their lens designer with this magic wand and where have all these lens designers been hiding up till now?
