Great shot! Don't believe I've seen any better.

I'm probably mistaken but I think they are toadstools, not mushrooms. No matter 'cause that's one great shot.

If you have a Walgreen's close by, they're running two specials on 4x6 prints. Thru June 30th, 9 cent prints on any amount as far as I can tell. The second deal, 10 cent prints on 100 or more thru June 29. They usually run these specials around holidays. Quality is good.

I used the 18-270 on a Canon 70D and was most happy with the results. When the 16-300 came out I thought, "Well, if the 18-270 is good then the 16-300 must be better." I chose to upgrade and certainly haven't been dissapointed with this len's performance on the Canon 70D either. I'm only a hobbyist, not a photography pro, so no, personally I can't see much of a difference now that I've compared pictures taken with each lens. I will say this though, "If Tamron ever comes out with a 14-400 I'll buy one."

Thanks for the encouraging info on both counts Willaim. Much appreciated. You know the funny thing about this, my Tamron 18-270 (purchased March, 2013) worked perfectly on the 80D. Go figure! Again, thanks.

I used the Tamron 16-300 on my Canon 70D beginning June, 2014 with great results. Of all the lenses I have I used it the most. Recently I upgraded to the new Canon 80D. The Tamron 16-300 worked perfectly with all modes of the 80D EXCEPT Live View. When using Live View the camera would lock up, the off-on switch became inoperative and the only way to reset the camera was to partially remove the battery and reinsert it. After discussing the issue with Canon it was decided that the camera wasn't at fault. I contacted Tamron. It appeared that they were aware of the problem and they advised that I return the 16-300 for the fix. It will be interesting to see if the fix works once I get the lens back.

I've never had any problem using the Tamron 16-300 f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD with my Canon EOS 60D or 70D. Recently I purchased Canon's new EOS 80D. I put the Tamron 16-300 on the 80D and it worked fine with all modes EXCEPT Live View. Taking a picture using Live View would lock the picture on the LCD and render the off-on switch inoperative. Breaking the battery contact and reinserting it was the only way to unlock the camera. Thinking the camera was defective I returned it and was sent a new 80D. Same results...a lockup when using Live View.

My Canon lenses worked perfectly with the 80D, as did a Tamron 18-270 f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD. A call to Tamron Customer Service confirmed a compatibility problem between their 16-300 and the EOS 80D. I was advised to return the lens to Tamron for the fix.

Your best Turkey portrait so far? Don't know how you're going to get a better one. Outstanding shot!

You're a good student. Very nice shots!

That's a beautiful shot!

Top-notch as always. Congratulations!

You might want to consider MEFoto Aluminum or Carbon Fiber Tripods. See B&H for complete descriptions. I recently purchased the MEFoto Aluminum RoadTrip model & so far, so good. Of course I'm not a professional photographer either.

I don't think it will!
