We bought a new lens this week.
Our recent trip to Maui convinced me that I had to find a lightweight, long zoom lens for my wonderful wife Legger. She has serious shoulder issues, plus she hates to change lenses. We got our new Tamron 18-400mm zoom on Tuesday, which is the same lens that Peggy has used quite a bit. I was wondering where we could go to test it out when the neighborhood Cooper's Hawk obliged us by visiting his favorite tree. I did quite a bit of work on this file, but I am thrilled with the results.

Your wife sounds like me, lol! My shoulders hurt too, sometimes, and I HATE to change lenses. AndyS is curing me of the latter!
This is an excellent lens. Here's a photo that I used that lens on, recently: 
It's been great. It really spoils you for almost anything else, or so I have found.  |

I like the way you framed it with the pine branch that “points” at the subject… really nice.
