Post your 150-600 Tamron shots.

.......A lot of people are concerned about the speed of this lens. ......

Two things will really allay these fears if you think about them.

1. The lens' VC is terrific. I've consistently gotten blur-free images down to 1/30 at 600mm.

2. Modern DSLRs are so good at higher ISOs these days. The fear of noise shooting at 400 or 800 or even 1600 should be eliminated from your mind.

I agree with you. I have had no problems at all hand holding this lens. A lot of comments about this lens are saying that it has a slow aperture, and I was just comparing it to the Nikon 70-200 F2.8 with a 2x teleconverter on it that Kevin has ask about.

I met some guy at Wako today that waited four months for his lens. Did you have a long wait?

I had a day off in Houston while getting a chemo treatment and visited a camera store and by some mirrical they had one brand new in their storeroom so I bought it. I did have one at B&H Camera on pre order and cancelled it.

Good deal. He ordered it from B&H and was told there were 134 people ahead of him.

Getting jealous of all these stunning shots, I have been trying to get one in the UK but suppliers I have talked to have outstanding customer back orders from June!

@Lee532 this is another example of a horrible picture with this lens, you don't need one :topsy_turvy:

Have seen sellers on Amazon trying to sell for £250 more than anywhere else.

No but it doesn't surprise me if some so-called 'Approved' Dealers are trying it on.

All the big suppliers have exactly the same price, just no stock I have found one in stock from an Amazon seller but £200 more expensive so I won't be buying that!
