Travis, I have actions set up in PS and run the DN as an action with batch processing. Denoise will take over the screen so I move it to a different monitor so I can go on working on something else. It really saves time. After my initial work in LR, I go to PS. Certain shots get individual treatment.

That's actually a really good idea. I need to get this set-up, so I can run the action via PS. For things like wedding receptions I'll have big batches shot at high ISO that I've never felt were worth running through DN. But if I can set it and walk away even if it has to run overnight....its a win.

Yeah I am going to look into it.

pulled the trigger for the tammy 35-150mm F2-2.8

I can't wait. it will be my jack-of-all-trades lens.

I may jump back into tammy world for that 20-50/2

Nice one, mine arrived last week, taking it for a bit of landscaping tomorrow to see how it is

So I was seconds away from buying the Tamron 70-180mm then decided to check something. Turns out Tamron Aus honors overseas warranties and I can get the lens around $1200-$1400 AUD in Tokyo depending on exchange rate compared to $1750 at the cheapest here in Sydney so I’d say it’s definitely worth waiting

I've rented one for a wedding last year and rented it again for Disney. I'm going to buy one this year. It's a big lens, but a true jack of all trades unless for the more "normal" focal lengths. Nice rendering and bokeh on the wide end...tack sharp on the long end. And focuses pretty quick to boot.

Last photo a bit of a reshoot. They grow fast.

Hi Carlo, I need to test it properly today but I was finding that it wasn’t as sharp as I am used to with my GM primes when shooting wide open using eye af. I had my 35GM on and was taking photos of the kids at f/1.4 and the eye lashes were tack sharp as always. I then switched to the 35-150 and done the same at 35mm f/2 and the lashes were noticeably not as sharp. I wasn’t sure if that’s what is to be expected with a super zoom vs a prime? It wasn’t the best light though so going to test today in better light. The lens seems super sharp stopped down a bit

Primes will still always be sharper.

I don't see the lens as a replacement for primes from the perspective of being so critically sharp at 35 F1.4, 85 f1.4, 135 f2. The separation you get from primes at these focal lengths isn't something you're gonna get from the 35-150.

I want it mostly as an event lens, as the focal range eliminates the need for a second body or lens swapping in all but very specialized situations. But for portrait shoots and what-not, it's not going to replace 35mm-85mm combo.

For travel, I'm kind of mixed on the lens because its so large and something wider would be more useful.

Hollywood Studios. Star Wars Theming still amazing

Well transpires it was user error. Went out today shooting landscapes with the odd portrait flung in and this lens was absolutely stellar. It’s weird having a single lens that goes from 35 to telephoto. Loving it so far

I don't find it to be as sharp as the 70-200GM MKi

Yeah it won't replace other gear, for me it is really only for shooting sports where I don't want to mess with changing lenses...when I change lenses I get better images though...its an ok lens but it is a monster, it is really heavy and it feels front heavy.

It is kinda wild to be able to go from 35 to 150...

I shot the game last night with it, just because it was so fast paced and I didn't want to change lenses...was kinda tired and lazy. I did up the ISO to speed up shutter and felt that made a little difference on sharpness...in action scenarios the Tamron does miss more than the GM.

Ohhhhh, an actual A7Riii image!!!

But with the old Yashica ML28/2.8 because the widest native I had with me was the 40/1.2E
