New Tamron 28-75 F/2.8 Lens
by tandurq on Jan.22, 2007, under Photography
So I picked up my new camera lens today. Yay! Actually I had it delivered to the office. This is a much improved camera lens than the kit 18-55 that came with my Rebel XTi. As soon as I put it on the camera I knew it was really nice. The kit lens was made out of cheap plastic which felt like it came out of a cereal box. This lens is well put together. Its rather heavy compared to the kit lens that I was using however I’ll accept that over cheap plastic anyday. The only nag about it is that the included lens hood is rather ugly compared to those made for Canon lenses. Here are some sample pictures I took all of which have the flash turned off. Its amazing what F2.8 does. A more thorough use of this lens will come this weekend. So far its pretty impressive.

Out and about in Monterey

I had some free time today to just wander about Monterey. I decided to head up to the old high school and take some pictures. Here’s a panorama of our old football field. Bring back memories?
