    First outing with the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 VC

    Took the Tammy out to the Kurri Kurri Nostalgia Festival today. No no no, it's not a less than fond recollection of last night's Vindaloo. It's a 'Fifties' style shebang, cars, dancing and all that kind of stuff.

    Anyway, I decided to put my less than steady hands to the test, and shoot everything hand-held. My initial feeling is that the lens is sharp, contrasty, and has good colour rendition. Did I mention 'sharp'.

    As with all of these types of events, you take what you can get, composition wise, and do the best you can. The light was a mix of full sun and light cloudy shade.

    The first shot is an iconic FJ Holden ute.

    All in all, pretty happy with the lens as it has given me confidence to shoot hand-held in situations that don't require critical sharpness.
