Any reviews of new Tamron AF200-500mm lens?
I have been shopping for a 500mm lens for my Digital Rebel. My budget says
it must be "under $1,000". Tamron is releasing a new AF200-500mm f/5-6.3 lens that has caught my eye but I cannot find any technical reviews of it anywhere....other than the basic literature released by Tamron. Has anyone published a technical review of this lens yet? I have not been able to find one. Paul D |

It could hardly be any worse than their old 200-400/5.6, one of the worst lenses photodo.com tested, receiving a 1.2 composite score. Hmm... =F886 filters, very convenient! ;-) I couldn't find any reviews on the web, but searching groups.google.com shows it is being discussed, most extensively in de.rec.fotografie. |
