Tamron 18-270 lens

[Richard_]

I used the Tamron 18-270 vibration control lens for the first time at TAR 2009.

Here's a few of the pics I took with it. I did a minor bit of editing on a few of the pics and some cropping, but nothing major.

Overall, I've quite pleased with this lens. The limitation is in my skill as a photographer, not the lens.

Your skill looks just fine to me. Maybe add the rule of thirds to the program and it would work out.

I'm liking the El Matador shot a lot. :clap:

Seems to be good glass.

Me, too. :thumb: I snagged it for future slide show material... :trust:

They look great to me too. But I've always liked Tamron lenses.

Nothing a course in photography at a local college wouldn't cure.:lol2:
The best thing is you are actually using it. The worst camera and equipment to have are the one's that sit on the shelf and never get used.

I took a few experimental pics today with the Tamron lens. Again, minor editing and some cropping.
