I just bought the Tamron zoom as a light weight alternative for the heavy lenses I have, to take with me on walks and not compromising on the reach. So I was testing it out on a local beach. Along with the other usual beach bird suspects, there was gulls galore. Got some fun shots, I thought I'd share with you folks. C&C most welcome!





1. Invert without the ramp







2. bottom turn







3. leap







4. the Karate kid :)

Fabulous stuff. I'm impressed with the IQ - even when looking at web jpegs your copy looks very good - perhaps the best example posted of what the lens is capable of. Well done.

Thank you! The size and weight of this lens can deceive you. The focal length still requires proper long lens technique to get sharp results, more so on crop bodies. It's very easy to get motion blur (despite the excellent VC on board). Compared to the big primes, the AF is slower and narrow max aperture is a pain (almost a good light only lens). But given proper consideration for those limitations, it's a very handy package.

The results look great. How long did you have to wait and where did you order it Prathab?

Bought it from Wolf camera.

http://www.wolfcamera.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=tamron+150-600

They have both Nikon & Canon mount in stock. When I bought mine, they still had about 30 in Nikon mount. The service was no where close to the big retailers. The site promises shipping within 24 hours. But they shipped after 3 days after 3 reminders. Had to call again to get the tracking number as the order was not updated online. The packaging was down right bad. The lens was so close to getting damaged when I got it. But never the less I ordered it on the 15th and got it on 22nd. But they're still Tamron authorized retailers, free shipping etc., If you can overlook crappy service you can have the lens by next week.
