    Fred, this lens, for the price, sure looks like a winner. How is the response when in continuous AF while panning? For example, fast jets or birds in flight? Your pics looks real sharp at 300mm. Thanks.

    It has the high speed Tamron motor that does not seem as fast as the Crazy ultra ludicrist Canon USM but feel that it will be more than what I need. I have panned with cars and planes with great results. I would always recommend putting it thru its paces at your local camera shop first to make sure you like the Feel, Build quality, focus speed and most important, the wow factor. I love my lens, I loved my old lens and this blows it right out of the water! Sharp as a razor!

    I love the 3-4 stops of IS (called VC for Tammy)


    1/80th of a second at 300MM, and was not event trying hard to steady myself!
