BTW, I noticed you wanted me to win the last contest(speed). Any particular reason?

We are both 1st class noobs, we have to stick together, otherwise the pros will eat us alive :D

I only wish it would focus faster.


5D and holy trinity of primes. Now the 90mm TS-E TS-E fly bit me. I hate these forums.

Whats wrong with it's focus speed? I've used it to shoot race cars at over 100mph whilst using AI Servo on the 10D. Seems quick enough. Granted it's noisier than a USM lens (but then you can't hear it over the engines so it's not a problem :lol: )

Well, I've shot a race with it too, and true, you don't even hear it focus :)

In comparison to the 100-400 USM focusing I do feel it is slower... Perhaps it also depends on what camera the lens is?

It may well be slower than the 100-400L, to be honest I haven't deliberately set out to compare them. I know that I have never missed a shot because of focus speed problems on the Tamron so from that perspective it is "fast enough" :)
