Some great B&Ws on this thread How about some wildlife in B&W ?

Hi Vicreo, Most of the images I posted in the Wildlife thread here on Expedition Portal were shot with the latest Canon mount Tamron 150-600mm Di VC USD G2 zoom lens on a Canon 7D Mk II body (usually). The Tamron 150-600 is not a perfect lens, but it is sharp if used carefully with long...

Thanks grogie! Lots of covered bridges in west central Indiana, that's for sure. I like them best when they're snow covered.

You didn't discuss your budget, and that may make a difference. For landscapes you will want a full frame body. F2.8 lenses are nice ( and I own several ) but they are expensive, large, and heavy. If you are going to shoot starshots then get the f2.8 or even the f1.4 versions of the lenses...

And for that same quarter you could go to a full length Saturday Matinee.... The trick to copying slides with a macro lens is good even consistent color temp illumination and some method of holding the camera and lens holder all still while you are working. I am a fan of VueScan software, I...

Happy to help. It is not a perfect lens for everything , but for many things and a walk around "only lens" tool, I really like it.
