Picked up my brand new replacement Tamron SP 70-300mm VC lens, from my local camera shop, who were actually matching the UK's cheapest online official stock prices, at 239 pounds sterling, with a 5 year warranty from Tamron. No wonder this great lens has maintained its popularity, with such a great price!
My old (5+ years) original is now up on Ebay as a 'spares or repair' as the VC function has become unreliable - but otherwise not bad for lens that has been my second most used and provider for my most popular image (by far) here, on Juza! I can now look forward to a further five years of use, with a working and reliable (and excellent, of course) vibration control function. |

I'm so pleased you got your new lens, Tim - you must be thrilled! (and you're probably out using it right now)
This is a lovely shot of the flowers and grasses in the meadow! There is so much beauty springing up in the English countryside at the moment - a feast for our cameras! :) |

Ann, thank you - the actual thrill was finding that Castle Cameras had the lens 40 pounds cheaper than the usual shop price and which also managed to match Amazon's, but which I could pick up myself and not have to wait half a day in to be delivered and to actually buy something from my favourite shop rather than just chatting to my staff friends! The lens is absolutely identical to the old one, they have not tweaked or updated it at all, testament to the fact that they got it right in the first place, so its use was somewhat routine, but in a freshly reassuring way. And no, finally needing and having a rest, today. |

That's great, Tim! You are making this lens sound even more appealing to me..... :)) |

Ann, I have been getting the hint from you that your 18-300mm did everything and covered everything and there was no point in even thinking of anything else. This lens is not the be all and end all, it's not perfect and any lens gets softer towards 300mm as physical optical properties that muddles up the three primary colours (red green and blue start to focus at differing points) but this one is less soft than the others. And you will need a shorter zoom to cover the difference between your 10-24mm and 70mm. Which is what I've always had, from year dot. This is also quite a weighty and solid lens but handles well, which isn't to everybody's liking. IF we ever meet again and I have it on me then you can of course take it for a spin... |

I used to think that, Tim, and I do still find it extremely useful but I am becoming increasingly frustrated by it. At least, I think it's the lens I am frustrated by but it could be just me and my lack of ability that is preventing me from getting the results I want..... I won't be buying another lens in the next few weeks (I'm away again next week), I'm just mulling over - I always take a long time over such decisions.
Thanks for the offer.... |

I can understand that feeling completely and as you try more subjects in more and more difficult light conditions then those frustrations will grow. Seriously, I don't think that the extra 1/2 stop and the extra image quality will necessarily get you those pictures, the differences will be too small, at least in a practical sense. I'm glad the way I went and continue to do (obviously) but then I am used to and prepared to carry around the extra gear and change whereas you are probably not. For low light, use your 35mm f1.8 and 105mm macro more, or at least take them with you more, just in case, and try to use them to your advantage. This Tamron is about the weight of the Sigma macro, as I said, it's not lightweight, but in a reassuringly solid way but usually feels a bit lighter as you zoom out, the lenth obviously increases.
Where are going THIS time (yawns...)!? |
| sent on June 10, 2016 (20:40)
Thanks for the advice, Tim. I did, in fact, carry most of my kit with me today when I went back to the poppies. I didn't think to try the 35mm but I used the macro a fair bit. I've yet to assess the results.....
Back to Spain :)) |

True pro's won't use a 70-300mm, they use a camera's own 70-200mm f2.8 (or f4) at 1500+ pounds and a prime fixed longer telephoto. (often many times that: there was a huge box in Castle Cam's that looked as if it should be in Ikea, bigger than any luggage, which was a Canon 600mm f4 L - and which put my very modest purchase into perspective - but who's laughing at the end of the day? It is very possible to get very decent results from a good 70-300mm at 300m if you stop down to f9, much wider open you might want to add a little sharpness but as long as its subtle and looks good, who knows, or even cares that much? Up to 250mm and it's great at all apertures. |

Hmmm... well, I wasn't looking to spend that kind of money! I'll be doing some more research before I make any decisions - I don't want to make a purchase that I regret! |
