[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 603174, member: 6277"] I was rather frustrated with the Tamron when I rented it last year to go to Circle Bar B Reserve. My shots were just not sharp. I ended up getting a fantastic deal on a new one that I did buy one. Fine tuning it helped the sharpness but it took me a while to really learn how to shoot it properly. I get what I think are good results with it now. Trying to up my game with it now and have added a new lightweight tripod and gimbal head. I think I can shoot at a lower speed now and use a lower ISO or higher aperture. My hands and arms are not as steady as they used to be so had to up the shutter speed to 1/1600 - 1/2000 to get a steady shot and that was on a non moving subject. I think I can go as low as 1/1000 on a BIF with the camera on a tripod and get good results. Going to go out tomorrow and see if I can find some birds. [/QUOTE]
