ok this first images are taken and things too notice

• chipmunks are to fast for me, I can't get close(tc comes on friday I hope, so i can get closer)
  
• !/250 are way to low for this lens, you need at least 1/500 or some kind of support (monopod comes on friday I hope)
• focus works extremely well, I think as good as it gets for my D80. As a reference the chipmunk was the size of the main focus point in the viewfinder

around 9 am this morning I heard a big clunk, and tap tap tap outside my door. So I start to investigate and see, the ups driver dropped... my package in front of my door and left again. Without even knocking. Normally I don't mind if they do this, but in case of a 700$ pacakge, well I expected more.

Anyway my tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 arrived and my first impression are:

• boy this thing is huge
• damn it's heavy
• darn I need a new bag for this thing
• i like it

So it seems all to be good and I went to work.

more comes as soon as I got some pictures done and got used to this lens.
