New lens

Yay. The Tamron 28-75 came in. I took some test shots and I love the lens so far.

It focuses really close and get wide enough for my need when I’m taking shots of the girls. It’s now my default short portrait lens, and luckily I got one that is really sharp wide open and has no focus issues, which are common problems with off-brand lenses. Here’s the test shots I took. Stuffed animal for sharpness, close up of sleeping daughter for focus, and a shot of phoebe to see how the bokeh looks.

My light stands should be coming in today. The radio triggers will probably be another week. I’ll have some two light shots when the stands come in and then try and incorporate 3 when I get the triggers in as well.
