In the 2nd image the fence is sharper ( more defined ) with the Tamron than the Sigma

I have tried to use 1.4 X TC's with the Tamron and the Sigma. Both of them hunt in order to achieve autofocus. These lenses were not designed to take a TC and I don't think any of them are going to work well with any TC. There designed as 600 mm lenses and that's about as big as they are going to go and work well.

A while ago a chap used a Tamron 150-600 with a 2 times and a 1.4 converters to photograph the moon his calculation I believe was around 2250 mm. Obviously though in manual focus and the results were awesome and posted on UHH

My Osprey photo was published in the Coeur d' Alene Press newspaper here in North Idaho. The newspaper wanted to publish the best wildlife photos in this area of North Idaho.
No prizes or money was involved, just recognition. They did publish a 8"x10" photo which is fairly large for a newspaper.

These great images show how good that Tamron is

Thank you Geoff :) I know the horizon is a little off. It is a work in progress, this is just the jpeg. I haven't even gone into the RAW file. I just wanted to see if folks thought I was on the right track with long exposure part. I think I am going to like this type of photography and have much to learn - already know I need more ND filters! Thanks again, constructive criticism is always welcome :)
Its a great start, but you need to have more information in the dark(shadow areas). You can do this by either an Nd filter which as you know, will darken the sky which enables you to have a longer exposure which lightens the shadows. Or by using a software programme like Lightroom and using the shadow slider, which may increase noise , which you may have to remove again in Lightroom or similar. This image is 13 seconds long at f16. the light in the sky matches the light in the sea, using nd filters.

I have just downloaded a 30 day trial of CC. I currently have Lightroom 5 running on an iMac (OSX Yosemite). The download was confirmed and the CC icon is sitting in the tray at the bottom of the Mac screen. However, when I click on it nothing happens. Any ideas please?
When I downloaded Lightroom cc nothing was happening same scenario. Adobe customer service had to remotely connect to my pc as the downloaded files were corrupt or and missing. 20 minutes later all's well. Get on to chat at Adobe, they will help

I bought an "ape case" on Amazon. It fits the tamron 150-600 even with the lens hood attached. Nicely padded and the price was reasonable. Good luck. Just an Amazon search for APE CASES and you should be able to find it. Hope this helps.
Which model "ape" case please

I just received this Canon Extender 1.4x III two days ago so I tried it out on some birds and bees and the images seem to be sharp. The focusing, using my Canon 7D Mk2/Canon 100-400 II lens with the new extender is still fast. All these shots equal 400mm x 1.6x x 1.4x = 896mm.
The Tamron 150-600 will be just as sharp at 600mm x 1.6x = 960mm and you will save about $1500 over the Canon lens and extender.
The Tamron 150-600 will be just as sharp at 600mm x 1.6x = 960mm and you will save about $1500 over the Canon lens and extender.
Great work Regis. How does your Canon 1.4x extender work with the Tamron 150-600 ? Can you post some images Please?

So, 'Doc Martin' should be 'Mister Martin' - since he's a surgeon? Wouldn't make a very catchy TV show title, though. . .
Not necessarily unless he is a consultant then he can be Mr but a surgeon can also be a Dr. most confusing but if he is a Dr and you address him as Mr or vice versa they can get uppity. Confucius he say !!

it is actually quite strange my consultant who performed Brachatherapy on me is a consultant but his title is Dr. but he is entitled to perform surgery of a type. Other consultants may be called Mr and yet some are called Dr. Yet again a consultant who performed surgery on some ones broken neck that I know is actually titled a Professor, but that is because he teaches medicine of his skills but he is also a consultant and a surgeon. We being English/British get baffled , so it msy be very strange to you too.

why don't you use it on a monopod or a tripod ? instead of selling this great lens!

Serge Ramelli is holding a weeks long Landscape course in Paris. Look him up ! I think it may be in July, he knows Paris like no other, he lives there.

Maybe you have £8000 + to throw around or do Canon /Nikon just lend you these expensive lens, most of us lesser morsels have to be content with some what less expensive glass and we or some of us , consider ourselves fortunate to be able to capture images of wildlife and sports that a few years ago were beyond our meagre budgets and our short lens.

The moon looks like it is in front of the horse not behind it! Otherwise interesting composition

For the amount of money that one would need to spend to acquire either of these lens, I doubt any one would be disappointed on the strength of both these hand held shots as any difference in quality is minimal but both are exceptional for the price. I happen to have the Tammy because it was available whereas the Sigma is not yet in any volume in the UK. Will you do a comparison between the Sigma C, the Sigma S and the Tammy, when you can MT ?
