Hi Jens thanks for the work with the test. This time the Tamron looks a lot better at F 6.9 200mm than before, enough light seems to be everything ;-) At 300mm it starts looking to be quite unsharp and not very good on the sign. I do not see what shutter time you used and I assume everything was set on a tripod? The Tamron shots are often a lot brighter than the Pentax M* 300 and therefore a bit hard to compare for me.
Why not participate in our little competition with some shots from the Zoo (you asked), frankly I enjoy any living subject so much more than the brick walls ;-) greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Jens Bladt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 6:40 PM >>To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >>Subject: OT: Much improved (WAS: Testing a Tamron Adaptall 6.9 200-500mm >>(not SP)) >> >> >>Hello list. >>The relative bright weather today allowed me to improve my brick wall test >>significantly. >>It's a Tamron (adaptall) 6.9 200-500mm vs. SMC Pentax FA 2.8/80-200mm >>ED(IF) and vs. SMC Pentax M* 4/300mm. >>Please take a look at: http://www.jensbladt.dk/Test/newfile1.html >> >>Regards >>Jens >> >>Jens Bladt >>http://www.jensbladt.dk >> >>-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- >>Fra: Jens Bladt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sendt: 27. marts 2006 07:44 >>Til: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >>Emne: RE: Tersting a Tamron Adaptall 6.9 200-500mm (not SP) >> >> >>Having fun is still the most improtant thing, Tim ;-) >>Does photographs from the Zoo count? >>I'm afraid they took all the birds indoors because of the current >>bird flue >>thing ;-( >> >>Regards >>Jens Bladt >>http://www.jensbladt.dk >> >>-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- >>Fra: Tim Øsleby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sendt: 26. marts 2006 14:53 >>Til: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >>Emne: RE: Tersting a Tamron Adaptall 6.9 200-500mm (not SP) >> >> >>I havn't done a "formal" test with my lens, but so far it looks >>like that me >>too, has to shoot at f:8 or more with my Tokina AT-X 150-500 f:5,6.
