Fantastic review, really informative. Helped me decide to purchase this lens!

Tamron has an amazing VC. In my opinion far better than Canon's IS. This lens looks like just the ticket for my outdoor photography. The slower aperture won't be an issue with the VC either. Thanks for the great review.

Very nice review, thank you!

great review, I will definitely be considering this lens when it comes to my next lens purchase. Cheers

Thank you for your review. Viewed the lenses in action on the weekend on a canon and the results were really good. I will have the Nikon version in the next couple of weeks. Thank you. Just seen it in action on the weekend and aprciate your time to review.Thank you. Just seen it in action on the weekend and aprciate your time to review.

Picked up mine over a month ago and love it. For nature and sports work its great. The size is a big heavy for hand work but a mono or tripod works well with it. Top Marks and VERY QUICK lens

Adam Lewis thank you for the review .. i pick up this lens for my A99. i love it. focus is fast at any Fstop . i feel like its a little soft F5 and f6.3 . but not bad for its price . F8 is sharp and I'm happy there. i took it out side on tripod. took some picture of the nebula. in Orion hilt 1 sec shutter iso 100 . I'm very happy with it .

Nice video & review dude :-)!

Thanks for the review. Nice job and am thinking on adding this lens to my arsenal. I shoot with a Nikon D700, which I think will do a great job with regards to using this lens.

Hi Ann, As long as you have decent light the lens will help you get the shot, just be aware that on a prosumer body it may be slow to focus and need more light. today I actually just switched to manual focus and shot a few frames of birds in flight...was really fun :) ... Glad the review helped...happy shooting

Will this lens pair well with the D7100?

Thanks Adam! Good all-around review! Maybe take some shots of your beautiful doggie running around! haha. Cheers

Reef is absolutely adorable!!! Yeah and the lens is nice too. Mine should arrive in week. I was a bit reconciled with the lower sharpness at 600 mm that I kept hearing about everywhere, but these images look great. I know its F/8-ish but still.

any idea if it would work well with a d3400? can u link me to a site were i can buy it for a good price?

I shoot with Tamron for 2 years now. It is a great lens until I got the Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX HSM prime from ebay ($1600 excellent condition used one). Now I shoot with Sigma prime exclusively, see my videos for details.

Used the Canon version of this lens to shoot grizzly bears on Admiralty Island in Alaska many years ago, mostly from a monopod. No complaints.

Is it possible to hand held the lens for shooting for a period of time?

Thinking of adding this lens for wildlife usage, on a Nikon D750, which should work well with the low light capability of this particular camera. I'm hoping it would be a good 'bird' lens as well, and I understand the Tamron is a fair bit lighter than the Sigma 150-600. I am wondering if you've tried using a teleconverter with this Tamron lens, and although one would have to have good light for this senerio, it would be a good test to perform to see if much of the sharpness is lost. Thanks for the video!

I am thinking about buying this lens for surf/soccer photography and i was wondering if the nikon d7100 would be a good body to use the lens with, I will also be shooting off a monopod. Or should i think about upgrading my body before i purchase this lens?

Thanks Adam a great practical review, you mentioned using it on a D800 your thoughts on this combination would be appreciated. I am looking for a long lens to take to Africa at a reasonable price, the Nikon 80 - 400 is a little pricey for a lens that will not be used alot. Thanks.

Thanks for the review. Black labs are THE best dogs in the WORLD!

It's great to see one of these in the wild for Nikon finally! I would love to hear (or see samples) of how it does on the D800. I'm curious how a nice, but not "pro" focused lens feeds that sensor.

Hi Adam, i am using d5200 and nikin 70-300mm VR. I shoot birds and wildlife, i really love the 70-300mm VR but i am not having that reach. Iam thinking of selling my 70-300mm and getting tamron 150-600mm or nikon 200-500 mm. tamy had that 100mm extra reach and 50 mm wider than nikon and nikon is f5.6 all the way. I have no plan to upgrade my dslr body for at least a year. Now my question is will that 1 stop of nikon make huge diff or tamy's 100mm extra reach make diff when shooting birds and wildlife. Thanks.

What do you think of this lens paired with a Canon Rebel XS? I wouldn't shoot anything indoors with this, only wildlife and maybe some telephoto landscapes. I ask this question because the Rebel XS doesn't have the best ISO performance, in fact, 800 is the absolute maximum ISO for a usable photograph. Do you think the f6.3 will be pushing it at ISO800 for outdoor shots on a crop sensor? Thanks, and great video!

The D5500 is good in low light/high ISO. I think his point is because of the slower aperture, it's not recommended on an older crop body like the D5000 or D7000 which suck in low light/high ISO. In good light, it will do well on any body. If it's overcast, not so much. At 600mm, the max aperture is 5.6. A 70-200 f2.8 lets in 40x more light at 2.8 than a lens at 5.6. That's a lot of light!

very sharp ? compare with sigma and canon it is not sharp
