Donno exactly

What I know Tamron have 2 lenses of 70-300 right now
1. 70-300 Di LD macro which can focus upto 1:2
2. 70-300 VC USD costing 25-27k

maybe u r getting the 1st one....check properly that its the DI LD model and not some other older variation

Amazing! how did you get this

@sujoyp: isn't the model u mentioned in list is the flipkart link?
we can also use it as a Macro lens.

 

[sujoyp]

yes its the flipkart one which i was mentioned

It have a 1:2 macro ratio which is not at all bad for macro purpose coz my macro lens also do 1:2 only but it do macro from 200-300mm that means it will become long and stretched ....ur on board flash wont work with that...but it will work fine in daytime...I think there is a switch for macro in the lens

Go for the flipkart one (*www.flipkart.com/tamron-sp-af-70-300mm-f-4-5-6-di-vc-usd-for-nikon-digital-slr-lens/p/itmczc2hbg8jchuu?pid=ACCCYZFZZ8YFZA34&ref=f8e5b320-9bbf-4917-b343-b6562d8715f3).. its great..

@sujoy Thanks

Prashant, Both your church and moon shots are nice. Moon shot is as-is or edited??? Seems like too much sharpness/brightness/contrast reduction...

 

[marvelousprashant]

@nac The moon is edited. Looks good on my screen. But I suspect my laptop screen isn't calibrated property

 

[marvelousprashant]

Took this shot while walking on the road. No tripod... 8 second handheld

[nac]

Prashant, Wow!!! 8 sec handheld shot... Nice light painting

 

[sujoyp]

he he he 8 sec handhold did u stop breathing for those 8 sec

nice attempt...

 

[arian29]

seems the moon doesn't like me.. i took the 70-300 @300mm, center weighted, spot metering,active D lighting- off, 1/10 to 1/150 .. i could see the moon clearly through the eyepiece but the camera never fires.. tried manual as well as auto focus but couldn't make the cam take the shot

 

[marvelousprashant]

^ OH BTW did you press the shutter button

 

[nac]

^^
May be your cam wants to take full moon first with your new lens.

^ OH BTW did you press the shutter button

Here's a moon shot I tried long back

[marvelousprashant]

@sujoy and nac The light trails from crackers are looking good in wavy pattern but the waves are created by the shaking of my hand.

@sriharsha nice shot

So is it difficult to shoot the craters on the moon when it is full because it is to bright right?

This is the moon today

Nice one Prashant... Is this 100% crop?

 

[marvelousprashant]

It is cropped but not 100%. 1400*1800px from a 4000*3000px image
