Sweet! A new lens! I really like the compact size of these new high-end f/4 versions of the 70-200 zooms from Canon and Nikon. I kind of wish I owned one.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the price but I will got over it.:mrgreen:

I mean no offense but these are MUCH sharper than the Tamron you have...which is to be expected after the price. CONGRATS!

 

[JacaRanda]

It's the favorite of my lenses; but goshdarn too short for most of my birding!

I could get some sharp pictures from the tamron but its more of a effort and usually needs a little bump in post but yea your right and the canon smokes the tamron it in every way.

Congrats on your new lens! I have no remorse about my first expensive lens purchase..Over the course of a year or two its only a few bucks a day and the enjoyment of having great glass is well worth it!

Thanks Kris. The zoom is so smooth and can be turned with 1 finger ease and with no lens creep what so ever. I am going to take your suggestion on the 400mm 5.6 for the birdies on income take return.
