Some 18 months ago when I went to Costa Rica on the first photography trip, I visited a farm that kept 2 jaguars, a male and female in captivity. The farmer adopted both a few years back when locals were about to kill them since they created havoc by preying on livestock. Again, it was their nature and they had to eat and their living habitat was shrinking . I heard that a cub was born and we went back to see the them. The cub turned out to be a juvenile jaguar and is almost as big as the parents. Still, it shows some juvenile characteristics. So, this time around I focused only on the cub...
After reading web pages which praised the Tamron as razor sharp, and having one in buried in a drawer, I went out to test it against the Sony FE70-200G. This came to nothing as the mist and wind did not make for suitable conditions, though the first shot is promising. At f2.5 there seems a slight glow in some images, but some of the leaves are pin sharp. One to try another time when I have a subject better suited to the wide aperture. The second is more typical of the conditions, with low cloud making the trees stand out.
