the 18-270 is a seriously slow lens

it is also model boobe

heres the setup you want...D800 and ponytail optional, but recommended

QFE?


I'll keep looking around, but I will take the ponytail into serious consideration.

read the model number on the tamron box

remember typing 58008 on the calculator then flipping it over in elementary school?

That lens is awesome. I get to use one to shoot sports for UVa, and I love it. I use a D3 with that 70-200 f/2.8 VR and a D300 with the 300 f/2.8 VR for football games

I now understand that the 270 is only for a canon

However, did you mean to put "for a different" in front of "model boobe?"

looking to buy a couple filters for mah lenses...

tamron 70-300mm
pentax 16-45mm (already have a 2 stop filter, but it's not very useful imho)

ideas?
and where's the best place to get them from?

 

[ryan s]

a 2-stop filter is useful for taking 2 stops of light away from the sensor

what are you looking to get? UV, polarizing?

i would get the biggest one you need (say, 68mm for the 16-45 or whatever it is) then use a step up ring on the 70-300.

 

[DarkSideAccord]

not sure which one, but i'm leaning towards a polarizing filter since i like to do outdoor shoots

step up ring?

ND filters are meant for outdoor shots, polarizers are for reducing reflections, UV filters are useless.

step up ring attaches to your tamron lens like a filter then the larger filter is attached to the ring....so you wont have to buy 2 of the same times of filters
