Well I wanted to buy the Nikon 70-300mm lens, but they didn't have it in stock.
So I bought the Tamron 18-400mmf/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD, for £650.
Because it is fitted to a DX body it has an ultra-telephoto range equivalent to 620mm in the 35mm format.
Now waiting for a clear night 18th to 20th to catch the full moon.
I have the tripod, and will remebr to turn off VC/VR.
