New technology from Tamron – Vibration Compensation (VC)

Tamron VC technologyTamron released their version of Canon’s IS only that this stabilization method now works on all 3 axes. You can see more details about Tamron’s Vibration Compensation technology and also try out the lens virtually. Pretty cool! This is a Tamron AF 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC lens working on all Canon EOS range of cameras. The wow factor is mainly because of the large focal range and price. Maybe Tamron should work more on the price – as in Romania, the lens will be available with  aprox. 1o0 euros less than the Canon version. Of course, you will also get an extra 28-70 focal range which is something to take into consideration when you want to cover the biggest range without spending too much. Here’s the price and specifications comparison [ro]:

Do you have experience with Tamron lenses ? Are they as fast as a Canon lense with USM?

My new lens…

Canon EF-S 17-40…is here! I finally got rid of that kit lens (Canon EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6) and got myself a really professional lens: Canon EF17-40mm f4.0 L USM. Here’s nice review of this lens. Most people say it’s a “must-have” lens and I am pretty sure I will agree with them, once i get the time to test this baby. One thing is certain – my camera (Canon 30D + battery grip) looks and feels (the lens weights 475g) completely different with this colossus lens (colossus compared to the kit lens). I like ! Sexy times!
