[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 361602, member: 12496"] [b]Re: My observations and thoughts on the Tamron 150-600mm[/b] B&H contacted me recently about something else, and I asked about this order, about where I stood, and they said their disclosure policy was they cannot say. Could be this guy just didn't have access of the data? I have not called them, and of course, they don't know when they will arrive. I've seen your pictures posted here... awesome. Regarding the depth of field... agreed that telephoto is short of it up close. But up close is farther for telephoto, and this too can be an advantage. :) My notion is those wanting the f/1.8 lenses to blur the backgrounds of their outdoor portraits, are missing the point. 85mm would be better, but the 35mm or 50mm lens are so short, f/1.8 doesn't even do much, unless the subject is very close, which then is poor perspective for portraits (standing way too close). What they don't seem to realize is that maybe the 120mm or 200mm telephoto they already have does the same thing, probably much better. [/QUOTE]
