Thanks. It the Hall of Languages at Syracuse University. I've heard the sharpness with the bigma isn't great after 250 or so. With what it costs I would think about the Q7 with adapter plus a sharp lens. You lose autofocus but the multiplying factor is great and not so bad with a high quality lens. I hear great things with the Pentax 300 f/4 paired with the Q cameras.

James,


Brilliant samples! I'm SOLD! I think I should get one of these BEFORE the Bigma 50-500! Is that a SU building, or City Hall maybe? I can't believe the SHARPNESS! Cool! Credit card Bokeh is very cool, too! Thanks for the link!


Regarding the K-5, my brother wants it. But I am growing hesitant. Might tell him I'm gonna hang onto it!

Here are a couple samples of the Tamron 70-200 2.8.

First are 88mm at f2.8 and f 4. Second set are at 200mm at f2.8, f4, f5.6. No Post processing, straight from camera, thus a little underexposed.

Due to the lighting I underexposed 1 stop as anything else would blow out the highlights. Very sharp lens, some CA at 200 f2.8 but cleans up after a 1/3 stop at f3.2.

James,


How about some Tamron 70-200 samples? Dave
