The Tamron 200-400 was my first "long lens".

Because it had no VR/IS and was a relatively "slow" lens, it forced me to learn the basics of long lens technique. So later, when I upgraded to be$$er tele lenses, I knew more about how to get the most out of them.

Is that sandpiper with the 200-400? If so, it seems that the 200-400 has very nice bokeh for a zoom; that alone is worth its low price, IMO.
