Peire -- Thank you for these great examples of the new Tamron E-mount trio! A photographer could certainly do far worse than only owning these three lenses: 17-28, 28-75, 70-180. A very well designed trio with perfect coverage for general shooting.
Thank you Gunzorro,my friend in the world of photographic imagination.for your kind words.
So far I managed to try them mostly for floral shots.The other parts of testing are still ahead.Yet I'm very pleased with what I see.All three lenses render pictures that look very sharp,crisp and colourfull (though in fact,pixel peeping shows some visible sharpness fall-off in the outer-most parts of the images ---- 28-75/2.8 is the worst example for that).
This ,however,does not really matter in the real life picture taking.What matters is the overall impression,which is great and much better than expected.
I found them all very good for close ups,even wide open,provided one looks out carefully for background highlights (wide and standard zooms are not masters of a buttery smooth bokeh).This is particularly usefull for 28f2,8 and 17f2,8 settings (and of course 180/2.8 as well)
I presume that all three will keep up the overall very good impression further on,i.e. for other regular photographic applictions.I would not ever buy them if they were,say,constant f4 zooms.Size and weight is a great asset indeed.I guess I'll find some more hidden merits in these lenses.We will see.
There are 2 families of peregrine falcons that nest on the cliff at the Pacific Ocean that I know of. They are approximately some 8 miles separated from each other. Up to this point, I have been posting images of one family from their courtship to mating to hatching of eggs of one family. This morning I checked out the other family and their chicks, all 3 of them already fledged. And both parents hunt to feed their always hungry chicks. They are more active in other words than the falcon family I have been photographing so far. Here is the first image from the new location...

Love seeing these falcons Joshua. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much, Kathy! Pretty wildflowers and you captured them well!

Here are the 3 fledglings; the one on the right is a female. She is the boss and the biggest out of the three. Mom just dropped off a kill but they didn't quite know what to do with it. They have been fed by mom until now. Actually, mom ended up coming back to take apart the prey and she fed the chicks.

It works like a charm!
The present difficult situation has given all of us time to go over old files and discover hidden treasures.
More experience, better programs or more thinking? Perhaps all three?
