Is that 'haze' causing it, or is your Tamron a low contrast Catadioptric? Although, curiously, I have both the 500/f8 MTO and 1000/f11 Celestron mirror lenses and both have higher contrast that your shot would indicate the Tamron has. Whatever the cause, it does give the shot a nice, 'soft' look! David. ========================================================= Hi David, The 350 Tamron doesn't normally give soft results and the Panasonic LC5 shots that I posted from that walk were similarly soft and muted in colour. It was a flat dull day and the effect went down quite well with the digi shots so I made no attempt to tweak up this image. You can check out the Panasonic shots here if you want to see what the digital made of the light on that day.
