Testing out new lenses
Today was a good day for me, I received the two new lenses II had ordered, Namely, the Tamron 17-28 F2.8 and the Tamron 28-75 F2.8 lenses, I have been reading reviews on them for a while and thought they would be good lenses for most of what I shoot is mostly city and seascapes, and particularly with the coming grey and white days of winter, and I had to get out for a little walk to try them out, these shots were taken in a quick walk around the neighborhood a little after receiving them while it was still fairly overcast, and I went for a second walk to do some more test shots with them in the afternoon when the sun made a brief appearance, all be it very brief, I had barely walked for a few minutes when it clouded over again but I walked for about an hour and gave the lenses a good test and first impressions are I made a good choice getting them, I really like them both so far.
One plus for me along with the F2.8 throughout the range from 17-75, is that they both use the same filter size which will work well with my Haidi filter set, which I may or not use much between now and Next spring if it stays as cool or cooler than it is at the moment.
The shots for this post were all taken on my first walk around the neighborhood since I haven't had time to edit any of the shots from the afternoon walk, and I should say these shots are not that great but I am happy with them since it was fairly grey when I got these shots, and they were just quick test shots and should not reflect badly on the new lenses, but badly on me and the conditions lOL
This first shot was with the 28-75 Lens and is my favorite of the test shots

And another one with the 28-75, The flowers are fading away a bit withthe cold but still some beauty to them, at least to my eyes :)
I do like that these lenses do allow you to get fairly close ot the subject for shot slike these

As I said I am pretty happy with these lenses, and they will be the ones I carry most often into the city for the near future, they will be handy when I visit some of the Museums over the coming months as is my plan
And that’s all folks

I hope to have fun with them in the city this week, weather permitting of course but lets see how I do

Thanks Kindly, I was wondering if I had made the right choice but after taking them out for a couple of walks today I am very happy with them I must say
The lens must be a good one. Love these photos.
Thanks I was quite happy with these for quick shots and yes I wasn't sure I was being sensible spending all I did on the two lens but after trying them out I am very happy
That's an awesome amount of steps for a Sunday! Your photo's look great. Is it a perk of the new lense to have the blurred background. I love the images of the dying flowers and leaves. So appropriate for the season. All aspects of life are marvelous. Great to see you today! Catch you next time!
Thanks and yes the new lenses motivated me to walk, and yes the new lenses do allow for a nice blur in the background It was better than I expected to be honest, thanks for your visit and have a great week ahead :)

17-28mm seems like a so much promising woman :)
Thanks and lol 😂
Perfect lenses and nice photos. Sony always leads with the lenses along with zeiss. A7iii rocks here
I couldn’t justify paying for the sony equivalents I went with the Tamron ones and am quite happy with them
Nice shots! It is always exciting to get new gear isn't it! It's like an early Christmas! :)
Well this does count as My early Christmas present I just couldn’t wait any longer for them LOL
Very nice. Those look like they are working well and nice step count.
Thanks after a couple of slack days it was good to get my step count up again

Wow! You should be ecstatic with those lenses as the photos are clear and there are no blurs or smears in the colors.
I find that cloudy days are the best to get the pinks and the reds.
Congrats on the new lenses JJ!
Blessings!
Thanks My friend and yes i am very happy with the lens it given me some motivation also to get out for walks again, but only when its not to cold, I just read a repot the high Wednesday may be freezing point and add some light snow, seems like winter wants to come early this year
Congratulations receiving your new lenses. I think that even let say I got me the best equipment, my photos will not come out as good😂. You are truly a talented photographer, @tattoodjay 🌺🤙
