[QUOTE="AC016, post: 189103, member: 9619"] I can certainly add a few things here: I had the Tamron 70-300mm VC USD and it is an excellent lens and is on par with the Nikon equivalent. Prior to that lens, I had the entry-level 55-200mm lens and took over a thousand photos of aircraft with it. I had zero problems with it when it came to producing nice, clean photos. Yes, there are many very nice photos on airliners.net. But keep in mind that the guys who take these photos, spend a lot of time post processing them and yes, I am sure that many of them have pro-grade lenses. To get your photo on airliners.net is like a rite of passage and when it happens, it's almost like losing your virginity. So yes, those photos are heavily worked on and are one of hundreds that were taken by the same person. Keep in mind that sharpness is like a tango: you and the camera have to work well together to get the results. If I were you, I would not pixel peep to much and just work on your shooting technique more and perhaps learn more about post processing. [/QUOTE]
