p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wide Angle PJ Shooter with Long Lens (UPDATE)


I posted in this forum looking for some help with some super-telephotos since I'm generally shooting wider than 50mm. Here is the original thread: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1484226/0#13988478

I ended up buying a Tamron 150-600. I am well aware of it's limitations, but I think it will accomplish what I'm looking for this season. I was able to pick one up used for under $600. The lens came yesterday as I was leaving for the game, so I grabbed my d750 and headed to the field.

I didn't try to accomplish too much, just wanted to make sure it worked! After shooting Leica lenses for the past 2 years, I have to say that I'm generally impressed.

Shooting telephoto and using AF in this fashion are completely new to me. I was really just trying to work on timing. It's a different animal for sure and I can't say that I'm comfortable with it!

Thanks to the Sports Corner for all of your help!

Here are a few snaps:

Thanks all! I'm not in it for the money. I'm a dad with a camera, so there aren't any critical images that need to be captured. Weekday games start at 6pm and weekend games are during the day. So I'll shoot until I can and then just put the camera down!

I've been impressed by this lens. And hell, for under $600 I'm not sure a better option exists!

I was looking to invest in a 100-400 Canon.
Seeing these pics, I think I'll look for one of these tamrons myself.
