For the bad light and the high ISO capabilities of the 7D I am happy with these

Overcast
All at f7.1, ISO800 and speeds between 1/80th and 1/160th handheld

Awesome shots there.

I am taking delivery on Friday and yes I am excited and yes this is another spam from me since I have said it numerous time . Kidding aside I am really excited ha ha ha.

Are we there yet?

I am inline waiting for the next batch to come in from Japan,I am hoping that it will be as good as the Canon dust pump or better.

From the looks of pics I have seen it shows Alot of promise but the question will be when it arrives and will it be a Good copy.

I just got 2 photo magazines in mail , neither even mentions the new Tammy , but they generally run months behind .
Don't get wrong idea , the big reason I want the magazines articles is the pictures - to see a printed version of shots .

Ordered mine; just need to wait for them to be released in Australia...Sometime in March is all that I have been able to glean at the moment.

Let the wait begin...

Right hand is back down!
Ordered on 1/25 and yesterday in my hands.
Price and the first results here on POTN convinced me to take the plunge.
The weather here was not terrific but the first atempts prove to be promissing. There is a 600mm 1/15 handhold shot from a cat in the garden that is surprisingly good.
Who knows that this lens might (in time) replace my (old) 300/4L. But before that I'll do some more testing because the 300 is still going strong!
Good luck and greetings,
Alain

Sounds promising. 600mm 1/15 handhold would be asking a lot of any IS system.

Cameras direct website is saying 3-10 days.

Hope that is the case but I think that just means it will take 3 - 10 days to dispatch it once it does arrive...

I say that for two reasons ...

1) they also say "Tamron SP 150-600mm f5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens for Canon - 2 Year Tamron Australia Warranty ETA & $ to be confirmed as soon as 100% accurate info is known", and

2) they also say stock inbound 3-10 days for dispatch for the Nikon mount....and we are pretty sure that is an April release.....
