The sun finally came out today. Took the K3 and the Tamron 70-200 out for another test run. This lens looks to be a keeper.








These two were taken indoors.

The Rogaland looks to be a well maintained old hospital ship. Is it now a Museum Display or still a working ship? If so was it open for tours and were you able to get aboard and take some pictures inside the ship?

I assume it's still in use as I didn't see an advertising about it being a museum.

Some shots using the Tamron 17-50/2.8, all taken through windows on the train from Bergen to Oslo in Norway.

Clear winter sky and a cluster of stars outside the front door, how could I resist running out in the cold to get a few shots. Stars were pretty well all visible to the eye even with the house and street lights around.

K-3 with Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

Ice Fishing - Montpelier Reservoir

We had a Search & Rescue + EMS training exercise today. Captured a couple images of some non-participants ice-fishing on the reservoir. Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) - Pentax K-3 II - It warmed up to zero degrees F when the sun came up. Elevation ~7000'

18-200 Am I Expecting Too Much

I just purchased a used 18-200 XR zoom lens. This is an earlier model that is in great condition. I took a few sample shots today, all handheld. Fairly decent performance, but a bit soft IMO. What do you folks think of these results.

The Tamron 18-200mm lenses are the cheapest super-zooms on the market, made to provide the maximum focal range at minimum price. I would expect softness, lack of contrast and other imperfections with such a lens, to be honest.
