[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 327864, member: 8705"] I've had one of these 150-600 lenses in mind since they were announced but I wasn't in a mad rush to get one and certainly didn't want to be in the first batch. So far in the UK they have been order only on a lengthy lead time so I couldn't get one if I tried. Today I was just curious if things had changed and Wex in the UK showed stock. I rang and they had one left out of thirty which came in yesterday!! Needless to say it was plastic out and the lens is on its way for delivery tomorrow :cool: This should be interesting as I've previously coupled the TC-20e III to my 70-200 VRII for a 400mm solution, however I've never been 100% happy with it. On occasion as I've posted here it can deliver fantastic results however I couldn't get consistent, predictable results :rolleyes: I'm hoping the Tamron will solve the problem. If it performs as reported the TC will be going and the 70-200 can stay bare where its performance is steller. The only slight problem is that this first lens is a share for the wife and I to see what we think. If it works I'll end up needing a second :eek: My question for anyone who already has the Tamron is regarding bags. I only want something to store the lens and maybe carry it around over the shoulder. From what I've read the [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lowepro-11-26cm-Lens-Case/dp/B004KJE8GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404484381&sr=8-1&keywords=Lowepro+11+x+26cm+Lens+Case"]Lowepro 11x26cm[/URL] is a good but very neat fit. Does anyone have any experience of this combo and if so does the collar and hood fit in the bag? If not, what else fits the bill? [/QUOTE]
