Tamron 28mm MF (4)

I've been playing today with a Tamron 28mm MF, that I got from Tynemouth boot sale. I like it, what do you think?

As far as I can tell from these pictures it looks pretty good! The first shot is lovely and the abstracts are nice. Something not quite right about the composition of the second one.

Ditto re the first image Barrie. The second one (IMO) needs to have the bottom boat either all in the shot, or cropped out?

Very nice Barrie, especially no.1.

These look good to me Barrie. I sepcially like the abstract shots.
Is your picture of the Blyth Harbour wind turbines shot on this too?

Thanks for you all for your comments.

Yes David, I was traveling light on Saturday. One camera one lens, quite a new experience.

Owww, I like those! Wish I was at St Mary's Island (or wherever you were when you took this picture)! It could do with a little bit of sharpening for me, but I love the colours and composition. I agree with i-Berg re the bottom boat and I like the abstracts a lot as well!

Barrie - was that the 1.8 version. Saw one in a shop last weekend. Can I ask what you paid for it - looks to produce very nice stuff.

No ISO, it's the Adaptall2 f2.5 version. Car boot sale for £10.00 and another £10.00 for the mount

When I go out on a local shoot, say around Newcastle or Durham, these days I nearly always travel light with just one body and lens. For street photography its usually the DA*50-135 but for architectural or abstract pictures I select the DA*16-50 or sometimes the Sigma 10-20mm.
I don't like carrying a heavy camera bag all day. Apart from weight considerations your reactions to are quicker if you are not cluttered with equipment and bags.
When we met at Whitby for the Goths I left the camera bag in the car and carried two bodies and two lenses. It was easy to go back to the car park to change batteries, lenses or memory cards.

Nice and sharp!
