Tamron AF 28 200mm

Do you really love Tamron 18mm AF 11 ?

Pros: It’s really cool what you can do with this lens. The special effects at close range are very intriguing, and for capturing landscapes, home interiors, etc. it really does the job well. For that reason, it’s very handy to have.
Cons: On my Canon 30D, the lens is not quite as sharp as my kit lens (28-135mm). It’s not bad, especially on a tripod, but it could be better. I also get some purple fringes on back-lit edges. There seems to be a lot of contrast, making it hard to get the right exposure – pictures tend to be very overexposed and underexposed in a single shot. These problems can be remedied with software, and the ability to do what it does makes up for the disadvantages somewhat, but you do notice the quality difference.

All in all, I like using the lens. I’m glad I have it because of what I can do with it. Make no mistake, the quality isn’t as good as my Canon lens, and if I had a higher budget, I might try something else.

14mm Autofocus Tamron SP cool

I received this pedometer from my employer for an employee pedometer challenge. Overall, it’s a great pedometer! My favorite feature is the clock, which when I’m out for a walk I don’t have to take a watch or cell phone to know how long I’ve been gone. This is a big upgrade from my previous, cheap pedometers.

My only complaint is that the pedometer in itself is a little large. If I clip it to my pants and move around a lot, it often falls off. It has a second little clip to make sure you don’t lose it, but it frequently will be hanging down my leg. So if you’re looking for something small and subtle, this isn’t it. But it’s extremely sensitive and works fine for me.
