As you might remember ;-) I asked the list about cropping on computer some time ago. Now, with the new killer combo Tamron 300/2,8 I did a little experiment. This first is cropped from horizontal to vertical, a normal cropping for a bird shot, I'd say. http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildegalleri/vis_bilde.cgi?id=236648 At that page, below the picture you will find a thumb leading to a new vertical crop. This is about 1/8 of the original file. It's not suitable for larger displays or a print, but at screen it looks pretty ok, don't you think?
My point is. The Tamron makes much better results than my Tokina AT-X 150-500/5,6 zoom. So much better that it allows more cropping. This isn't mind blowing, but it does make me think: Shit in, shit out. Good stuff in, good stuff out. In the end I am pleased with the Tamron, despite the unpredictable bokeh.
