For anyone that did a comparison or research, what are the advantages to this lens over the Tamron SP 28-75mm d/2.8 XR lens? (using a Nikon D600)

Image quality between the 24-70 and 28-75 is leaps and bounds. The 24-70 is just as sharp as Canons 24-70 version. Not to mention having VC. Definitely worth it if you have the money. I owned the 28-75 and it was a great lens for what is was but the 24-70 is such a step up in my opinion. Cheers

How does this compare to the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens? Obviously a huge price difference, so what is the performance difference?

I do not own the 28-75mm so I can't say. The Tamron 24-70 lens performs well. It is fast and images are sharp. I'm pleased. It is on the heavy side - but so are many other similar lenses. I do use primes (24 and 50) from time to time for less weight when on a jaunt that has me walking in the city for hours, etc.

No sir! - I understand that you didn't come to a "Canon lens" and ask if it fits a Sony camera. You aren't asking about fitting the Canon version of this lens onto your A7r via Metabones. You came here to the Sony version of this lens asking if it's an E mount (your camera) or an A mount. - This is an A-mount. And there should be a warning. Because it doesn't fit, "Sony cameras." It fits... today, basically 4... Sony cameras. And yours is not one of them.

If i use this lens on a sony a7s with the la-ea3 adapter, do i lose any functionality?

It may be because of the adapter, you lose some functionality and you need to solve the manual focus.
