Hey all,

I posted these in the 7D gallery, but I think they should be here, too! Something (soon to be) out of this world!!

Hey all,

I am estimating that the rocket was @ 2, 6, and 7.5 miles from the launch site, which is about 7 miles from where these pics were taken. All edits done in DPP. I want to say around 80-90% crop on these. ENJOY!!

That's a great shot. Not just in the merits of the lens, but it has a lot of artistic quality and great color. Nicely done!

Thanks Dustin. That means a lot coming from you.

I LOVE my lens. I also am using a Tamron 1.4 TC SP and it works fantastic with little degradation in IQ. This lens at 280 f/4 is sweet. It has made me rethink my desire for an EF 300 f/4 IS.

That is a very nice shot. I intend to test the lens with the extenders I have (both a Canon 1.4x II and a Kenko Pro300. I've owned the Tamron 1.4x before, but sold it a few years back because I wasn't using it much.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but does the new Tamron 70-200 work with the Canon extender? I can't seem to find that answer anywhere.

DOF and sharpness is pretty amazing at 200mm f/2.8 - call this extreme subject isolation!

Carl, it does work with the Canon extender. I personally think that it does better with the Kenko Pro300, but it does work with the Canon extender (other than aperture doesn't properly report in the EXIF).

It certainly is. Beautiful capture Dustin.

seems to provide much smoother bokeh than my 70-200/2.8L v2! But I knew it would.
Smoother than my Nikon 70-200/4 VR. too.

The bokeh is better. The V2 still has it beat in AF speed (a bit) and works much better with extenders. As a bare lens, however, the Tamron provides stunningly good value.
