Hi!

You might have read that I got a Tamron SP 60-300 today.
I am really thrilled by this lens.
So far the Soligor MC 3.5/70-220 Macro was my favourite tele zoom.

If you look at these pictures, you maybe understand why:


(This metal was blue in this light!)

Wow, Carsten! There's certainly nothing wrong with that Soligor, is there?

Hummm, be looking around for one of those! Wink

The first pic really pops!

Yes. Perhaps I was wrong to single out the first pic. Wink

Well, Bill, this lens has one disadvantage: it is a monster!



But this grants you the constant f3.5.

And 220 on 2x crop camera is 440mm...you can reach out and touch
something with that! The big wide section is the focus ring? Zoom is
push-pull?

Yeah. It's macro capability is so good (I think 1:1,4) that you almost touch the object with the front lens. Wink

Yep! Nice, once you get used to it.
