Tamron 70-300mm Test
This is a collection of photos taken over several days while playing with my new Tamron 70-300mm Lens. So far I've been very happy with the lens. I would have loved a nice Nikkor 70-200mm VR, but I just don't have a spare kidney to sell right now...

All of the photos are full size, uncropped, and straight out of the camera with no post processing (save to convert .nef files to .jpg)

Please do not steal my photos. Thanks and enjoy!
A few photos I took for our church.
