Nice group of shots.  Yes, the lilies are losing petals after only 10 days.

I have a small gallery of shots made with my OM-5DmkII and the Tamron200-400 in 
native EF mount. I like Tamron lenses. I have a 24-135, whichwas a EOS film 
lens. I recently bought the 200-400 from KEH to extend therange for those times 
when one wants all the niceties.

It's a nice lens to work with. Not fast at f5.6, but bright enough forme. Bokeh 
is plentiful even at f11 with this lens. My shots were all atf8 or f11. It 
requires careful focusing. Nice tripod mount, useful, andheavily used by me. 
Push-pull zoom and internal focusing. When focused at200mm it stays in focus 
nearly out to 400mm, which is good because theworking distance is kind of far. 
The lens and camera are heavy and I use aheavy Manfrotto tripod for all it's 
worth. There are three photos of thecombo at the end of the gallery.

The test period has aligned with the waning period of day lilies in 
myneighborhood. I got a fair number of shots that I like with it -- 
moreimportantly, that my wife likes -- though I fear it will bore most of 
you(just warning you).
