Hallaluya! Its raining lenses! Tammy 150-600mm
May 20, 2014 13:18:12 #
I got a phone call telling me that my Tamron 150-600mm is being shipped tomorrow from Adorama. It is amazing, I had heard that the boat from Japan had got sunk in a storm.
I wish it had come last week before I went down to Forsythe. Oh well, it just gave me an excuse to go again.

Nikon or Canon? Say it ain't so...
Canon, ordered Jan. 29th. If you are waiting on a Nikon you probably have a 2 or 3 month wait still. I have only waited 3 1/2 months. I figure they should have any issues worked out by now. I am going to find out!! My salesman knows I won't hesitate to send it back!

Congratulations!! I'm waiting for the Nikon version so I guess I'll just keep looking at all the great photos from everyone who has their lens already. Looking forward to your photos!!

Check with your vendor, there have been several posts of people getting their Nikon lenses. I know that our local camera store got the Nikon in last week, but not the Canon.

Got my Nikon version Monday from B&H unfortunately I have been sick so did not take many pics yet. I own the older version so comparing it to that one the autofocus is much improved and ofcourse vc helps too:-)

Focus calibrate the lens to the body and use good stabilisation/sharpness techniques when shooting - and yes, I know it has VC - but would not absolutely trust it .

Here is one with the Big T on a nikon d800.
f/6.3,1/1250,ISO 400, on a tripod mirror lockup and cable release. Still not very sharp.
Any help would be appreciated

600mm and f6.3 is not the best receipe for this lens - also, are you using a "protective" filter on the front ?? - Have you done a focus cal ? With the D800, you may find that shooting 450-500mm and cropping is better for you.

What f stop do you recommend with 600? Yes I have a UV filter on. It is coming off. I really want this lens to work! Will calibrate this afternoon. Do you think using the dx crop would work better with this lens and camera?
