I had to look up the word: katchke, LOL :).
That Tamron SuperZoom is very sharp.
--WT
:-) :-)
It means duck in Yiddish - it's actually a western Slavic word - the same word is in Polish and Ukranian, and there are very similar words in Czech and Slovak.
I don't know if it will come through on the web, but in Yiddish, it's spelled like this:
קאַטשקע
It's one of those Yiddish words that always makes me grin. I think it's a combination of the way it sounds to my Americanized ears as well as what it means - ducks are fun and funny, after all!
The Tamron zoom is surprisingly sharp, although not as sharp as, say, the 18-55mm kit zooms for both Canon & Nikon. When I first tried it out, I was disappointed when I looked at files at 100% size -- but then I tried printing those same images at 13x19", and they were just fine.
I tend to keep it at f/8 - it's best lens opening - the image stabilization is supurb, btw.
From what I hear, the 18-200mm Nikon zoom is of the same optical quality.
haa.. very comical duck ;) he looks very surprised!
