New glass for me too. I bought his little brother, a Tamron 18-400. Took the lens down to the refuge. WAY clearer & sharper than my Canon kit lens. This shot is at 400mm zoom, AF and hand held. I need a monopod.

Nice! the longest lens I have is the tamron 70-300mm on a cropped sensor and I do wish I had a monster lens sometimes. My laptop hardrive went caput so I got a new laptop and decided to learn to use the free programs instead of lightroom, I like rawtherapee the most so far. But it doesn't have a panorama feature which is annoying
Went on a short holiday to the Kintyre peninsular and saw lots of old stuff
Kilmartin Glen has tons of prehistoric stones, cairns, et
Doesn't look like much but this was possibly my favourite site in the glen, Dunadd Fort, one of the most historically important sites in the country, dates from the iron age when the romans fucked off.. I was the only person there
Isle of Gigha is a community owned island with its own botanic gardens, on shore halibut farm and some great seafood

I'm thinking about that one. Usually when I go out I have the Nikon 18-70 on the camera and the Tamron 70-300 hanging in a bag from my belt loop. If I buy that lens I only need to bring one lens.

I have 2 of those, one in pieces. Like it so much when I dropped it and broke it I got on Amazon and had a new one in 2 days.Nice! the longest lens I have is the tamron 70-300mm on a cropped sensor and I do wish I had a monster lens sometimes.

Looks like a fair number of woollies too. I gotta say, I really like seeing your posts of the countryside. You have an excellent eye.
This is out at the south end of the refuge. I loved the horizontal lines made by the walkway over the dunes.
A live pitch pine with a gnarled dead one coming in from the right. It was the only time the sun came out....
The branch was nestled into a knot's pocket... looked close to a Christmas ornament. I did this shot in manual focus and got it pretty damn sharp. The bokeh is really nice on this one... and almost zero color fringing on the hard edges around the sign at 100% size. The lens is a keeper!

Perhaps, but I am willing to bet that the Nikon might do better in low light situations. The 18-400 will not open up to anything bigger than 5.6 or so and it decreases a full stop by 200mm.YMMV. Unless you already have one, get a tri/monopod. Handholding is a breeze with the IS, but I found that anything beyond 200 mm or so gets blurry real quick.
