Tamron 18-400mm Lens Trial
Dec 12, 2017 19:34:52 #
Over the Thanksgiving vacation we went to Texas to visit the son and grandkids. I wanted to give my new Tamron lens a try. I was hoping for more than the very limited amount of dragonflies to shoot. Anyway, here are a few shots with the new lens. I think I'm going to like it. It will be a great travel and all-around lens. Most of these shots are right out of the camera.

This is the second post I have seen with photos taken by the Tamron 18-400mm lens. Yours are better than the first ones posted. Nice shots. I downloaded all of them. I may have to replace my Nikon DX 70-300mm with this lens, sooner than planned. Also it's affordable for me.

Hi doc! Nice pictures! I hope you enjoy your lens. I am shopping for a zoom in that range myself.

Good ones, Doc--well shot. I think Tamron's on a winner with this one--it is selling well & the feedback is all good. It focuses pretty close, so it should be good on dragons?

Nice variety of subjects...well done. Good luck with your new lens.

Very good pictures. One thing. The sign says no animal contact is allowed with the water. Do the local deer or raccoons read signs?

Like mine, a little soft, but a good bang for the buck! My wife loves it!
I'm happy with it Dave. A little easier to carry than my 300 prime Canon. Need time to work with it.

I was happy with the IQ. It's not what I get with my present set up but a lot easier to carry. For the price I was a little skeptical about the performance but I'm sure I will like it.

Thanks Chase. It will be a keeper for me. I know I can do better. I just need some time to practice with it. Being Thanksgiving it was grab a little shooting time here and there. Coming home to PA the conditions aren't really conducive to shooting. Thanks for looking. Greatly appreciated.

Fine shots...especially of the boss!!
Thanks Bob. You know you have to get the shots of the head of the War Department right or the lens may go back! I appreciate you looking my friend.
