Birds with the Tamron 150-600mm

I am more than happy with my new lens. The first two bird photos are at 600mm and could not get much sharper. See the "original". I just thought that maybe if someone was hesitating like I was a couple of weeks ago about buying this lens, go for it! I'm sure glad I did. Also, this was on a Nikon d7000.

Those are some nice photo's! I've seen a lot of them with that lens. I've got an older 170-500 Sigma I don't use much but gonna have to try it again one of these days.

These are superb. I have had mine for a couple of months and I am not getting images this good yet. It is likely the nut behind my camera though.

I'm beginning to recognize your lighting style Pixelpixie. It's one that I stand in awe of, and these bird photos are no different. I suspect you get better results out of this lens than do many others but I'm glad you've encouraged the rest of us to make the plunge.I am more than happy with my new lens.

Excellent shots. I am also happy with the sharpness of mine at 600mm, on my D7100. The myth of 'soft @ 600mm' has been bandied around by people who have never used one, so it is based on pure ignorance. I concur that this lens is sharp @ 600mm (even without a tripod). :-) :-)

Go for it, Don! You won't regret it. Thanks for looking.

Well Andrea....I don't always get the sharpest either. Since I just got the lens, I have been out practicing but more often than not..I am pleased. My settings on the first picture was 1/500 sec. f/7.1 (not sure where that came from.) ISO 200 Manual mode and shot in RAW. Maybe that is the sweet spot! Of course having the sunshine helps.
Thanks..Marsha

Thanks imagemeister. Actually, I had it resting on a hole in a piece of plexiglass....not really very stable but it helped a little.
