Dec 8, 2014 20:41:51 #
Got my new Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens in he mail this afternoon.
I mounted it, stepped out in the backyard and fire-off 3 shots and ran back to the computer with the SD Card and found these.
All 3 are processed with Topaz Detail3.
#1 f/6.3, 1/320 sec, ISO 50, 600mm
#2 f/8, 1/50 sec, ISO 50, 600mm
#3 f/6.3, 1/13 sec, ISO 50, 600mm

Thank you DL, He is easy on the eyes.
What I was looking for in #1 is the detail of the Structures on the hill that are 5 miles away and the vulture 1 1/2 miles.
Is the Lens up to the task from what you see. I saw the Vulture 1/3 of the way across the valley, raised the camera and fired off a full auto shot.
And that's what I got.
Thanks

Nothing wrong with the lens...when you're shooting something that far away, you have atmospheric haze and distortion to deal with. You'd need a lens with adaptive optics (as many of the new large telescopes have) to get much better... Or really steady seeing.

It was cold 58* and very clear seeing, about as steady as it gets for that view.
Very little movement in the telephone poles.
They are fairly straight up and down.

Yea, he just got through running at the dog park for an hour. Easy to photograph then.
This Lens has knocked my socks off, that detail at that distance just blows me away. At 600mm, it's worst rated focal length too.
The focus is fast, accurate and silent. So fast and quiet I had to turn the focus ring and auto refocus again to make sure it was working.
Today I'll play with DX mode, shorter focal lengths and Teleconverters.
