I have wanted a new lens for my camera for a long time. I started saving for it a year ago. Every gift card, every CC point. The one I wanted was nearly $2k. I had about $1300. I got impatient and bought the same lens but a different brand right after Christmas. It’s a 70-200mm 2.8 Tamron. I took it out at the Reserve to test it out.

So far I love it. I can’t wait to use it for sports or concerts.

Tested it on some things around the house. Love the background blur.

This duck just kept going around in a circle with it’s head in the water.

Bird very camouflaged here.

So lucky to have this right by us.
