Hi Hoggers, br br Question - I have a Rebel Canon... (show quote)
I have the same lens and use it on my Nikon D7000 with pretty good results. I did have to adjust the focus with the AF fine tune and that has helped a lot. Does your camera body have the AF fine tune ability?

The Lowepro Lens Case #5 is the only dedicated lens case that I have found that fits the Tamron complete, meaning with the tripod collar installed and the lens hood reversed. There are others that fit it without the lens hood or collar.

I just got my Tamron 150-600mm lens and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a case for the lens. Looking for something to store it in at home as well as potentially carry it to different locations where it would be used. Thanks for any advice! OBTW, after about a half a day and 50 or so shutter clicks, I love it!

I am doing something wrong and need help.
I BBF and want to lock the focus as I recompose - not working and not sure how to do it. I can not find in the manual or two books I have on the D-800 so HELP!!!

I have a D7000, but I think it works the same way... once set up properly, press the button to focus, release the button (focus is now locked), compose the shot and trigger the shutter. Take as many shots as you like and it should not refocus - as long as you/subject are not moving.

Two images the same size would help, but it's really not possible to tell that much on a monitor. Neither image you posted look that sharp on my monitor. I have an 80~200 f/2.8D ED AF, and it certainly produces sharper images than this, alone and with a 1.4X Sigma APO teleconverter.
Maybe I need to play around with the AF Fine tuning... I did not use a tripod, but had the lens resting on my car window and also used a pretty fast SS to try to eliminate any camera shake...
Thank you all for your comments.

I just bought a Kenko 1.4x teleconverter to try out with my Nikon D7000 with Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF Zoom Nikkor. I have taken a few shots and I'm not sure it is worth keeping--that is, I'm not sure it gives me any better image than I can get by cropping a shot without the converter. Here are two shots I took this morning...the first with my 80-200mm at 200mm (f4, 1/1000) and then the second shot is with the same lens/settings but with the 1.4x converter. Thoughts?

It's really a good shot. Some suggestion would be to crop tighter. Lower the iso, you don't need that much. This shot iso 1250 500 1.8 Nikon d-7100
Here is a website a fellow club member told me about. It is great for removing noise www. imagenomic.com
Lens 50mm 1.8
Good luck..

Thanks! I'll try some shots with the free trial from imagenomic... Just curious... how close were you with your 50mm lens? and how much did you have to crop?

Sure, slow your shutter speed to 1/200th or less. The resulting available light will allow you to reduce your ISO and the noise that can go with it. I shoot a 70-200mm often and get terrific results at shutter speeds considerably less than 1/200th.
Besides, non of these kids is likely to be running so fast that you really need 1/500th to stop the action.

I'm trying to get some shots at our high school soccer games this season. And the games are at night with lighting that is not real great. Attached is a shot from the game last night. Pretty noisy and overall not very good... thoughts on how I might be able to do better? Looking for ideas for improvement with technique as well as equipment (might have to wait until next season for this!). Thanks for any help!

One other item, if I understand it correctly, is that every time you "tweak" a jpg image and save it, the image looses quality. But when working with raw, you never mess with the original image data, and so each time you export it as a jpg with more "tweaks" (e.g. white balance, sharpness, exposure, contrast, etc.) it still has the same image quality.
Someone please chime in if I don't have that right...

Get the shot ! Missing a once in a lifetime shot because all your gear is home is something that happened to me twice. So while I missed two in a life time shots it's not going to happen a third time. Carry ANY camera device with you, a cheap throw away even, because a great photo sometimes has nothing at all to do with a great camera and lens !
Like they say... the best camera is the one you have with you!

Flickr. 1 TB for free is hard to beat. You can also have different permissions for different photos/albums. They also have a nice app for Android (and likely iOS, but not sure), which makes showing off your photos anytime easy as pie!
