maybe a good chance to test out some lenses. have fun ..

[budiman]

It's very cool that Tamron organizes something like this. I already have two Tamron lenses, the popular 28-75mm f2.8 Di and 17-35mm f2.8-4 Di, and I really like them.
I want to try out the new 18-200mm lens, so I'll be going!

[Ivan11]

I have never own any Tamron lens, so it's a opportunity for me this time to hands on them. Have registered and will be going also, see u guys then

[John Teoh]

Have one 28-200mm but fungus grow in it. Think have to visit the service centre. Heard from my friend that the 18 to200mm is sharp.

Cheers
John

The reason I'm reluctant to get 'L' in this range as it is ex ($2450) as well as not so wide for landscape....not so telephoto for fashion/event/sport....not so fast for night/pub/low light photography....only thinking to use it on Wedding event...but that will be damn heavy & big with my cam too...using only AW100...

[John Tan]

Actually I had try the both of the 28-70mm & 24-70mm...and the newer len has the edge on the sharpness...

I can't make it on 14th May...got assignment for whole day.

Any update from those participating CSers?

Particularly like to know the feedback on the 200-500mm.

Personally feels is soft using handheld and under low light condition focusing is slow ...

Overall is light and easy to handle ...
