Re: Correction the tamron SP LD 180mm is F2.5 (FAST)
Ive heard good things about the D FA 80-200/2.8. Im not really into AF I have two excellent MF 80-200/2.8 lenses, a tamron SP and a Tokina AT-X, They are both optically and mechanically great but they are bulky so I rarely use them, prefering the A70-210/4 most of the time if Im going to use a zoom. The nice thihg about thing about the tamron 180/2.5 is its fast and compact (but not that light). On Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:52:15 -0400, Paul Stenquist wrote: Yep.

But they would have to be outdoors in the shade as the working distance with a 180mm would be pretty long. On Jul 10, 2018, at 3:40 PM, J.C. O'Connell wrote: On Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:23:58 -0400, J.C.
