The first link goes to the Canon version of that lens, not the Sony.

After much much debate of canon vs. tamron... I ended up with the 150-600mm and let me tell ya..... it's freaking amazing. I don't know why chelsey is getting soft pictures because my photos were pretty darn sharp, even at 600mm. I guess it all depends on the subject you are shooting. Also the DOF is kinda shallow so it is easy to miss focus. I was taking pictures at a zoo at 600mm wide open and they were sharp. I would highly recommend the tamron over the canon 400mm prime as the VC makes a world of difference.

I took your advice 3 years ago and bought a second hand 400mm f5.6 prime on ebay for $800 with box and camo. Never ever regretted it, in fact it never comes off my Canon 7D. Friends comment on my photos saying they don't know what it is but they just like them. Thank you.

This is a great video. Thanks for taking the time to compare these models. I've been using the Tamron for nearly a year and for the price, it's a fantastic option for the handheld, wildlife shooter. The only other rig I had considered was the 400mm/2x extender combo. It's nice to see these two options stacked up in a real world situation.

The fur on the rabbit seemed a "hare" sharper. Hahahhahaha

I like this channel, thank you for sharing your time and works. It's nice to see a channel promoting photography and equipment rather than a lot of other channels promoting rage, incorrect or inexperienced reviews. This channel appears to carry experience, and humble honest reviews. Thanks

You guys are a very beautiful family! My daughter is just 9 months, but we plan to introduce her in the things my wife I and like, among others, hikking and camping.

Is it just me or do they look like a very generic rich villain duo. Perhaps something out of a Bond movie.

I've been thinking of getting the tamron for my Nikon, but this video swayed me to do some research of possible alternatives. I like how this video is honest, and has good sample images for comparing the images. Also the mention of weight and zoom dust, very informative.

Great video(!) with a lot of information. Even though I was not interested in that specific theme, I still liked to watch it to the end. You're such a great team! Go on with that...!

Great review. Thanks. And your videos have really stepped up in quality with the music and "behind the scenes" stuff. Well done.

@bengtenyman

If you are photographing birds you need maximum reach and resolution so you choose a (300mm) prime lens. A zoom (70-300mm) lens gives you more flexibility for football games etc but a substantially compromised image quality.

@Lalaland.001

9 жыл бұрын

Maybe it's my ignorance, but shooting wildlife with 300mm + lenses is nearly impossible without a proper image stabilizer in lens, through a shoulder rig or even a monopod, correct me if I'm wrong. but any added rig no matter in what form would greatly enhance picture quality. , the images you show in this video either show fringing, are blurry or blown out...

i use the Tamron 150-600 on a Canon 7D MkII for birds, and am VERY pleased with its performance. it may not be QUITE as sharp as the 400 f/5.6 prime, but no zoom will be as sharp as the best primes, so it's no surprise that the excellent 400 f/5.6 is a bit sharper. but if you have a good example of the Tamron, it is certainly more than sharp enough. my example of the Tamron is significantly sharper than my 100-400L, which was my workhorse lens for years. the Tamron isn't *quite* as sharp at 600 as it is at, say, 500-550mm, but for the price, it's pretty much the best zoom telephoto out there.

Here's the story--we normally film with the 70D, but we needed 3 wildlife cameras, so we used the 70D on-camera... and at the last minute pulled the 5D Mark II out of storage for Justin to film with. That camera always excelled at collecting sensor dust :). It just needs a cleaning. And I recommend throwing your front caps away immediately--they slow you down too much, and they have no impact on sensor dust. They might slow down collected dust on the front element of the lens, but that's easily wiped away and generally doesn't show up in pictures, anyway.

Tamron by far...this test was bogus. Either the Tammy wasn't focused, or there was some problem with the lens (bad test example). The Tammy is not this soft/blurry IRL. Look for SIgma 150-600 vs Tamron 150-600 online and you can see what I'm talking about.

Took your advice and went out and got the Canon 400 f5.6L and the 70D. Going to stick with this combo for birding for a very long time. Thanks for all the videos, I've found them extremely helpful. :) Huge fan

Awesome thanks for sharing this guys, I have been waiting to see your review on the new Tamron. I have been planning to buy the Canon 400mm next year and after watching this review I'm still very excited to get it. Thanks again :)

Hi Tony and Chelsea, right now I'm begining with bird photography here in Colombia, I bought an old second hand canon eos 20d with a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM lens, I did it cause my friend needed the money, so I decided to try it out. Now I want to buy a lens with closer zoom, so I was wondering, what do you recomend me?, right now I have the money for Tamron 150-600 lens, so I don't know if I should save more money for the canon 400, or if I should save money for a canon 7d mark II and keep the 70-300 lens instead. Thx for the nice review!!!

I have a nature reserve about a half hour away from home, I'm getting some great shots. I was into B/W photography in high school, even had a darkroom in my basement.

The sensor isn't exposed; the mirror is. Either way, you just blow the dust off. Regardless, it's not a habit of mine, but I was filming a lens comparison video where I needed to rapidly switch a lens between different bodies without disturbing wildlife.

Thank you so much for your inspiring videos. Because of your reviews I finally pulled the trigger on getting the 400mm f5.6L prime with a 1.4x III convertor. I sold my 70-300mm f4-5.6L IS USM and upgraded to the 400mmL prime. With the 70-300mm it was just too soft when fully zoomed and it just wasn't enough reach especially when birds are in flight. IMO the 400mmL prime is the best bang for your buck telephoto wildlife lens. It's tack sharp and super light weight too. Thank you again.

This is just a fantastic and informative review. Thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing your experience and let me improve my knowledge about wildlife photography.

I'm looking at the Tamron - much thanks for such a comprehensive test!!!!

In having a group debate there are a few issues - 1. if someone has the mic it's hard to be heard above them and 2. if there is religion or politics involved (gear groupies) there is little chance for objectivity and 3. if there is a fan base for the person with the mic it's pretty impossible for any alternative opinions to be heard.. In this review the flaws in making the lens comparisons are rampant. Tony you have previously done some nice work but this was a pure Canon sell out. This is clearly not an apples to apples comparison. It's misleading and unfortunately from what I have read has caused some people whose budgets are limited (and have no company connections) to shy away from a versatile lens that currently has no challenger at its price point. Finally, hand holding a new lens even with your past experience with large lenses doesn't guarantee you had the steadiest of hands with this one. I have used this lens and like others who have commented have consistently gotten tack sharp images when properly handled. Check what has happen to non-Tamron lens (in the this range) pricing after the 150-600 came out and was in the field - they dropped for a good reason.

How about the Canon 400mm f4 DO IS lens? That thing looks sick for birds if you can afford it!

Tony Northrup I'm contemplating buying a telephoto mainly for wildlife and leaning toward the 300 f/2.8 or the 400 f/4 DO. The 300 is shorter but with the f/2.8 I feel it will be more versatile for other shots than wildlife and it also performs well with the teleconverters. But the weight advantage of the 400 f/4 DO is tempting. What is your take on this? Thanks for your time...

@stanbstudio8251

6 жыл бұрын

Canon EF 300 mm f/2.8 is considered by many including non_Canon fan photographers. I loved mine. Extraordinarily sharp when printed out. FB, KZread and most social media compress like a NYC pizza crust ( which is good) for pizza lovers!. I post slightly diminished quality b/c I prefer I sell the beauties, not photo foragers. Currently I use the Canon EF 400mm f/4 with extenders and lots of light!! For low light, I use a variety of lenses. I love/hate the Canon EF 500mm because I do most shooting in winter in Yellowstone and even snowshoes in backcountry are not happy and tripods with gimbals sink like the snow is quick sand!. All that said, I'm going to Yosemite soon and taking a Olympus system this time. Up to 19" inch prints are as good as my Nikon D850, Canon D5 MKII. I just have to understand what puts the best light in the camera..IMHO...

Took a look at this lens for my aviation photography the other day at my camera shop! I fell in love!

A very thorough and informative review. I really liked it so thanks!

"Its not all about sharpness." Did I miss something somewhere???

@vineetgoswamy

Yes. There are many other aspects to a lens. Micro contrast, 3D pop, rendition etc are certain very important ones. Sharpness is just one aspect that has been given more importance than it deserves in today's number driven world (read megapixels and MTF charts).

lol you look like that bad guy from the tv series fargo hahahaha

I'm gonna have to finish watching it later since I gotta go to work, but I just wanted to say that your videos are awesome. This one is just epic. Keep it up!

You guys are really helpful. Truly appreciate your efforts and information.

The Canon 400 mm becomes a 700 mm? When you crop it down? No way. You can crop what you want, it stays a 400 mm. There is a difference between 400 mm and 700 mm, like compressing the image. The length of a lens has a specific behavior. That the reason why for example a 50 mm looks so natural. A 400 mm stays an 400 mm, how you crop it, manually or with a sensor.

Leo Jonkers Obviously the lens doesn't physically deform, but it does give the same field of view and compression that a 700mm lens would.

@leojonkers3181

Tony Northrup The same field of view is true, not the compression ( I mean by compression how the image will compress the closer and further subject will be closer to each other, maybe I do not express myself that good in written English while from The Netherlands:) ) With an 700 mm you get another picture than with a 400 mm. It is a common made error, when you see how often people are told an APSc will get your more tele. That is simply not true. There will be cropped in comparison with a FullFrame, that is all. Nice review by the way, it gets really exciting now Sigma will come with two(!) 150-600 mm zooms and Canon has come with the mark II of the 100-400mm. Choices, choices...

@leojonkers3181

***** Yes, I also think that. But I also think that it is the wrong way to compare cropping with a longer telephoto. The Fov can be the same, the image (in that Fov) is different. Like I said before, it is keeping the wrong way of thinking alive. I also think this review compares the lenses with a specific subject, where shutter speed is important and reduces the importance of IS. When you use these lenses for other subjects where shutter speeds are less important, the the Canon 400mm without IS suffer a big disadvantage. And I am not saying the Canon 400mm is a bad lens, far from that. But not everybody takes constantly photos of fast moving objects like flying birds. A lot of people use these lenses for a visit to the zoo or will make use of the artistic possibilities an long telephoto lens can give you.

Hey guys... I just purchased my Tamron 150-600 and replaced my Sigman 160-500 and WOW what a difference. I am so glad I purchased this lens and it was less than $1000. Another great video. Thank you.

Excellent video Tony and Chelsea, looking to get the tamron here pretty soon myself for my Nikon here soon when it's released :-)

Don't forget that with the tele converter the Canon prime becomes a 560mm f/8 compared to f/6.3 at 600mm with the Tamron. Another great review Tony and Chelsea, keep up the good work!

Thanks for replying! My current setup is the Sigma 150-500mm and the Nikon D3200, but they seem a good combination! Keep taking the stunning images!

Great video , love the information . You guys are fun to watch !

I own that Nikon 300mm f4.0 and 1.4 teleconverter. It's an amazingly sharp and quick combo. Even on BIF shots you can make out every feather!

I watched several other reviews of the Tamron and they managed to get really nice sharp pics of wildlife.

So, so much great / usable info! Thank you both!!!

Awesome reviews. Recently bought Canon 70D with 18-135 mm lens. Learning a lot from these reviews. Thanks

Really great! Thank you Tony & Chelsea!

Chelsea's way of holding the lens at 8:00 is wonderfully simple - fab idea!

A DOUBLE play on words! The fur on the rabbit was a hair sharper... I took your advice (after doing my own research, too) and bought the Phottix Odin. It is EXCELLENT. Versatility and affordability is what I look for...

Thanks, this was a very useful review. Both lenses seem fantastic in there own ways, now which one to choose...

Another great video. You guys rock!

Thank you so much. I love taking photos of birds, and this has really helped me decide on a good lens. :)

Great video. Very thorough

hi tony, i was wondering if you could clarify about what you said at 13:58 about the used canon you recommend. did you say a used canon 7d is a good match for the tamron 150-600mm to jump into bird photography? i want to make sure i heard it right since im considering that camera...thanks in advance :)

Great review! Hard to not be mesmerized by Chelsea's eyes.

thanks for the review I know so much more about the Tamron lense

Well presented,Good work.

thnx for this .. just getting into photography and its very informative .

I always enjoy the content you two provide. However, I was shocked when I saw Tony walking around with the camera without the cap on.

I own the Canon 400 5.6 as well as the Tamron 150-600. I find the Canon to be more consistent, but when the Tamron nails it, the versatility of the zoom is really nice, as well as the extra reach. I have a really hard time deciding which lens to mount when I go in the field.

Great reviews guys.

very nice tips throughout the video!

Thanks Mr & Mrs Northrup, you just saved me a few quid, I was going to sell the 400/5.6 and buy a Tamron, now I'll find a cheap second hand 1.4X ... love you guys...

Very useful review, thank you.

So how does Nikon D750 work with a tamron 150-600? I'm really having just the 24-120 VR as of now but feel strained to zoom into far objects like flying birds etc... what's it that i should invest in?

6:40 - 6:50 was money. Thanks for putting this study together. Very helpful.

very useful and down to earth. thanks

Great video Tony Northrup . Looking forward to testing the Tamron 150-600 on our trip through Namibia and Botswana in a couple of weeks :)

Have you tried this lens on a Nikon D7100? The D7100 doesn't have the low pass filter and from images online seems to handle this lens at 600mm better than the Canon APS-C cameras. Have you tried the combo?

Tony at 1:55 it shows you with a body without a dust cap.Is that why the video is so noisy?

hi tony thanks for getting back to me with you feedback thanks you saved me some money then as i was thinking of getting the TC

You guys are so cool! Let me know if you plan a nature/wildlife workshop.

Great video guys!:)

Great video guys! :D

Thanks tony and chelsea! Really nice review. And those small tips you give in general, are really helpful. eg. -@3.14 readying for quick shot tip! I've experienced it! A sunbird came really close to me and started hovering on a flower. I focused correctly and clicked, but the slow shutter speed settings left me with only one unblurred image despite the correct focus (and in that image also wings are blurred). Totally, agree!

Thanks, Chinmay! Focusing is never 100%--in fact, with wildlife, it's usually more like 10-30%. Take lots of pictures and delete most of them!

Tony Northrup I know that this is an older video, but now that you guys have a D810 have you noticed it better for croping then having a little bit longer lens. Like having a 400mm and cropped D810 image vs. a D610 with a 600mm. Another words would you put the money into the body or the lens for wildlife?
