Tamron 200-500mm lens

[delros1]

on Sunday,we went to Keyhaven Salt marsh near Southampton waters,Hampshire,and i got to try out the tamron 200-500mm lens.With my Nikon D200 body,and making good use of my tripod.there was a very obliging
little egret. haven set the camera to 800asa and a shutter speed 1/800 sec-f16.I found both the focusing and the zoom easy to use,and after printing off an A3 print.I am greatly impressed by this lens, at the fl/750mm,can`t wait to go out and get some more.

They are stunning images, I have a good friend who has this lens so I have seen at first hand what a quality bit of gear it is.

Great pics and I'm pleased you like your lens.

IMHO, the Tammy 200-500 is one of the best bang-for-bucks lenses on the market today. Had mine over 2 years now and can't fault it. you don't see many of these on the s/h market.

Works great with the Manfrotto 393 tripod head too, at least I think so, see Accessories

Good luck.

Denis.

Hi

Interesting thread. I was wandering about this lens for trips abroad as its more compact than the bigma and a lot smaller than my 500 prime!

Hi Guys,

What sort of price do these come in at, I was thinking about a canon 100-400mm is usm. But to get a 500mm could be better if the money is right.

I'd like to see what the lens could do when wide open. Whilst the shot shown is excellent, it was taken @ F16.0. I'd be interested to see how it performed @ F6.3.
