This lens doesn't get enough love! Here's a few samples to try and change this: View attachment 405216 Levster-12.jpg by -the-levster- View attachment 405217 Levster-15.jpg by -the-levster- View attachment 405218 Levster-22.jpg by -the-levster-
Got the lens yesterday, just some snap shots JPEG 150mm f/5.8 iso 400(cropped & resized) shooting from far distance {} 100mm f/7.1 iso 200 (resized) {} 128mm f/5.8 iso 1600 (resized) {}
Nice photos. I have been considering the Panasonic 14-140 II, the Olympus 14-150 II, and the Tamron. I have the Panasonic GX-7 as well as an Olympus body, and so both are stabilized. They're all about the same price, too, although the Panasonic is a little less expensive. I like the reports of the Tamron's build, 6-year warranty, and the impressive photographs in a couple of places. Any comments from those who have been using it?
Great shot! I ordered the Tamron 14-150 but it came with imperfections in the coating and so had to return it, and it was too close to a trip to get the replacement. Now back home, this looks like a tempting lens again.
Tamron Tamron 14-150mm F/3.5-5.8 Di III VC Lens Sample Photos and Specifications I found some more nice examples of what this lens can do. I have to say that it seems to do well on the tele end.
I looked at this lens when I was looking to get a superzoom. It's a nice lens, but it is not cheaper, lighter or noticeably better in IQ than the Olympus/Panasonic offerings. In the end, the 20% off on the Oly refurb and the weather-sealing sealed the deal for me.
