thank you, on tripod :)

Very nice capture.

thank you, yes, I find this lens is too heavy for me to hand hold and have keeper shots, I'm not the muscular and/or strong-built type :embrass:
Perhaps someone who is stronger and/or better than me will be able to :)

check with the local popular stores, I got mine from SLR Rev., call them for availability


looks very good.
this is shot at 600mm?
what was the estimated distant away from the bird?
 

I use it once so far, it's a solid lens, focus ring is smooth but zoom ring is a little tight but I believe should loosen up with time. There's a lock to hold it in the retracted position. IQ wise I think is pretty satisfactory, I don't know how to review lenses, just some comments from a casual hobbyist :) I never thought I would own a lens with a reach of 600mm as primes or zooms of such focal lengths are way too expensive for working stiffs like me haha but thanks to Tamron many similar enthusiast would be able to have such a super telephoto lens in their "arsenal" :)

thank you, this was taken at 500mm (acknowledgement to ricleo for answering too)

"what was the estimated distant away from the bird?" I think I'm going to fail in answering this accurately, I'm trying to recall as best as I can but I can only guess it's maybe around 50m +- 10to20m. I maybe wrong. I'm very sorry I can't come up with a more specific distance.

thank you, yes that was at 500mm. This was shot at 600mm:
 

Thanks for sharing.
looks like a value for money lens.
 

Huh... I tot GSH said that the RRP was S$2864?

Anyway... I confirm cannot buy liao. Lens is too big for my dry cabinet and my house no more place for a new dry cabinet :cry:

Hi this remark makes me worry also. Never come across my mind I need a new dry cabinet. I already have two two-layer dryers. One for Nikon and one for M43. If bring in a third one will need my Home Affair Minister to approve for money and space. May I know what size or type of cabinet I need for this lens?

I cannot afford a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 Finance Minister did not approve, but I think I can get this longer lens to avoid me buying a TC for the 70-200, but now space to store is a real concern.

Please advise to avoid scolding. Thank you.

Peter, you can store it at my place... I have enough dry cab room for it. ;):bsmilie:;p
 

Went to check this out at Funan this morning..

Nikon Mount 2 or more weeks away a sales person said this morning. Anyway most shop closed until tomorrow, deliveries wont start until late this week. Only Canon Mount available and all known stocks sold out as of today.
If you want to buy for airshow I think very very hard to get.

Tamron distributer probably don't even know there is airshow as they are mostly disconnected from major events.

Price quoted is $1650.00
 

Albert store at your place is definitely a solution. I am going to shoot at Chingay. I can only use my 28-300mm for the time being. Buy a new Cabinet will be cheaper compare to transportation. I will go look for a larger cabinet when budget is approved.
