I've tried the 1.4x with the Tamron, and I thought it was terrible -- worse than simply cropping, and that was on the relatively forgiving D700. Maybe someone else will get better results, but for me it was a non-starter.

Very nice example of good optics & image stabilization. And from a boat no less.. Nice job Tom
Thanks I think that had almost everything going against it but turned out good.
Thanks
I’m taking shots of Jupiter tonight with the Tamron 70-300mm @ 300mm. My buddy is into astronomy and yes those are moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto in order from left to right.
The first one is on a tripod VC off matrix the second is hand held VC on spot.

Really kwheuuuuul and different Tom--but we all know there are not enough moons in the Galaxy to exhaust Zeus' conquests by naming them after heavenly bodies. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Like, WOW, man! :smile:
That it is!!!
I am amazed at what this lens can do. Is the below shot a wall hanger...no, but I wanted to photograph our Veteran's day assembly from the bleachers inside our very poorly lit gymnasium. I grabbed the D90 and Tamron 70-300 VC and got results that are better than I could have ever hoped for.

Is that Elephant Butte by chance?
love this shot !!!! I need to use my tammy 70-300 more often.
Very nice pic--you got some great light & exposed for the subject, nicely highlighting the lens' sharpness.

I finally got around to shooting this lens a little on my D600 and wasn't digging the results as much as I did on the D7K. I'm hoping that it was just because it was a dreary wintery day and the photos were naturally just dull but something just seemed off. I'm going to test it a bit more fore deciding on selling it or not( I was suppose to sell it a year ago haha)
