Rescue Raptors with the Tamron 70-200 F2.8 VC

[coastalconn]

Today I stopped by a state park that was holding a fall festival. My favorite Raptor rehabbers were there (A Place Called Hope) and I decided to test out my Tamron 70-200. Holy smokes it is pretty darn sharp wide open. What a blast. Comments welcome and thanks for looking..

Yeah! It's wicked sharp wide open. I read about sharpness issues in the center at 200mil and f2.8 and I found the images to be damn sharp... Nice set!

Thanks Kris. I had a look at them. They look quite good. I would be interested to know which part of the 150-600 they were shot at, in particular, how many of them were shot at 600mm? Thanks.
