Loons with new Tamron

[runnah]

Picked up the new tamron 150-600 yesterday and managed to go on the lake this morning. So far so good. Did some post sharpening but really like the lens so far. I missed a few focues but that was uer error rather than the lens.

Nice series; I'm surprised though, based on the title, I was expecting a series of selfies.

Yup, very nice! Especially the unusual view in the 2nd.

Yup, #2 fir me too.
What is the going wait time on that lens these days?
I am SOOO tempted. I also seem to be the last person on the forum without a 70-200 2.8, so that is on the list too.

Any leaf colors yet?

I was lucky to find one in the local shop. Only $50 more than online. I've heard it's about a month wait.

Don't feel bad I don't have a 2.8 yet either.

Yeah leaves are turning quickly. Maybe 2-3 weeks before things get really colorful.

Very nice. Could you tell us which of the focal lengths of the lens that you used on these? I ask, because I am thinking of buying the new Tamron lens and I am very curious to see the quality of the images at 500 and 600mm. To date, I have not seen any tests of the lens beyond the 300mm mark on its zoom.

These were all at 600. I have noticed that backing off slightly to maybe 575mm makes things a bit crisper.
