It might sound a bit of an odd combination, but on my mid-week wander along Northdown Beach, the two subjects that really captured my eye, were the foamy waves on the pebbly beach and a couple of dried out fish bodies. I've tentatively Identified the first one as a female Cow fish and the second as a Porcupine Fish, the textures of the desiccated skins were quite amazing.      The rain Tasmania has been longing for over the last few long dry months has finally arrived.   After using the Tamron lens for a week or so I'm pretty happy with the result. It's no L series - but it fulfills purpose I got it for - it's light, it covers a good range of focal lengths and in it provides acceptable quality images in a range of conditions. What it doesn't do is have fast auto focus or reliable focus tracking - so no good for action, but that's what I have the L's for. I switched back to my favorite 24-70mm f/2.8, after a week of using the Tamron, I noticed the difference immediately- clarity, auto focus speed AND the weight of the lens. Verdict: the Tamron makes a great every day, walk about lens for surveying the scenery that I might want to come back to later with the heavy kit.     |
