Pictures only say something about how well someone can make that lens perform. I read plenty a review (with pictures) about the Tam 150-600mm and they ranged from splendid to crap at 600mm. I can look at pictures all I like but a picture usually depends upon the "cam + lens + user + skill + processing" combination. Now I got and shot the Tam, I wonder more what exactly qualifies as sharp. I think it's pretty sharp even at 600mm but others think it is soft. Maybe my sharp is their soft and they're used to a different kind of sharp. In the end, how could we ever value anything without putting numbers on it?</blockquote>
