Quickly I have a lot of respect for this lens. It arrived from FedEx and it was ice cold so I quickly wanted to see how smooth zoom ring and manual focus was...........very pleasant feel to both.
Extended out the zoom ring to full extension, there was no wobble or slop detected.
Looked down the front element, pretty wicked!
Mounted on camera, firm and secure, perfect actually, snug and reassuring fitment.
Randomly pointed to obtain focus, super silent and very quick
Turned on VC......don\'t hear a thing but man it works! Took a few shots at 600mm @ 1/50 with satisfactory results.
Not seeing at the moment any color casts as far as WB is concerned, Tamron has often been slightly warm for me.
Mounting foot and swivel are great, smooth rotation in ring and good feel to tensioner knob
Hood is lightweight, reverse stores on lens and mounts up easily with twist lock. Nice pinch style front cap provided.
oops forgot, need to download my free Silypix software which a link and license code is included
Just going to tell it like it goes for me. I spent $1069, I don\'t often pay retail for anything.
