My new zoom/macro lens

(1/3) > >>

Ever since I bought my Nikon D5100 DSLR camera I have wanted to get a all around zoom/macro lens. The one from Nikon was just way out of my price range. After reading reviews on this lens it seemed it was a 50/50 mix of I love it and I hate it. I ended up watching a few youtube vids on the lens some of the flaws they pointed out I could not see and the ones they point out where soon fixed in software. Now many a professional will tell you you should not have to spend your time fixing things in software. Hey thats all I have is time and I edit most of my pictures anyways.
So I ordered the  Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO Zoom Lens, for Nikon AF Digital SLRs with APS-C Sensors, USA - Bundle With 67MM Filter Kit (UV/CPL/ND2), Cleaning Kit, Capleash II. A high-performance, high-power zoom lens that delivers focal lengths extending from an unprecedented 16mm at the wide-angle end up to a long-range telephoto 300mm!
Incorporates PZD (Piezo Drive) and Tamron's exclusive VC (Vibration Compensation)system to further enhance the real-world performance of this next-generation "all-around lens", which makes taking photographs more convenient and enjoyable.

Went out in the back yard to just kick it over a bit before I actually read up on some of the settings  ;D
This should be a fun addition for taking pictures.

So out on the lawn is this lone dandelion.

And this is just the beginning of this addiction, trust me, my gadget bag has grown to the size of a suitcase that barely meets the size requirements for for carry-on luggage.

Great shot BTW, you're gonna love that new lens.  ;)
