  • I love these lenses and have nothing but good things to say about them, but I needed more reach.

  • But i took it out today for some wildlife shots, and WOW this thing is nothing short of amazing.

Reviews around zoom (5.00 of 5)

  • When I saw the box I was a little surprised with how compact it is, and compared to my Tamron 70-200/2.8 VC (one of the finest zooms I've ever used), it's not too big or heavy.
  • Zoom and focus rings feel really goodPicture quality - very nice - I will make an update in the next 2-3 days when I will get out and shoot this beast some moreThis is heavy lens but not really too heavy - we are talking 600mm here - VC works very well
  • It is a little heavier but the extra zoom makes it worth it
  • Classic zoom behavior of declining sharpness as you zoom out.
  • After an exhaustive search for a super zoom, but not willing to fork over multiple thousands of dollars for the Nikon 200-400 f/2.8, I opted for this Tamron.

Reviews around quality (4.59 of 5)

  • Though there are lenses of better quality, those lenses were all cost prohibitive for me
  • The quality of the lens is excellent, and I am very pleased with the pictures I’ve taken so far.
  • Poor quality lens.
  • Tripod is needed for optimal quality as with all long lenses.
  • I did find that you have to be careful about which filter you use as the first one I tried resulted in poor image quality

Reviews around picture (4.55 of 5)

  • The issue I personally see is that when ISO is pushed to around 2000, and f-stop is closer to the f11 position, pictures do seem a bit grainy, especially if you trim the photo even more after the shot.
  • Awesome lens, works, really good, fast focus, sharp pictures
  • I found my nikon 300mm lens insufficient to get good birding pictures
  • I tried it with a tripod, and the pictures again, became incredibly sharp.
  • You can hand hold this lens but be prepared for a workout and a reduced number of sharp pictures

Reviews around result (4.23 of 5)

  • An issue I have come to understand is a problem with many large zoom lenses is dust inside the lens as a result of air being pulled in while the lens is being extended
  • I think there may have been some kind of defect in this particular item, as the results were inconsistent when tested.
  • Tried it out today on my Nikon D7100 and got good results.
  • I have only used it on one occasion, with excellent results!!
  • For birding, I got good results under good lighting conditions

Reviews around light (4.13 of 5)

  • I do notice that the lens will have a harder time focusing in poor light, good light is generally needed for quick focusing and faster shots
  • When the conditions are ideal (e.g., good light), it can produce sharp enough pictures
  • While this lens is not as "fast" (maximum aperture is not as wide) as pro lenses, it still does well in good light
  • I've been happy with the sharpness, but you need GOOD light and with my 7D, I needed to shoot it at f/9-f/10 to get sharp images at 600mm
  • Yes its a light hog meaning you need good light for sharp shots

Reviews around shot (3.98 of 5)

  • and there was no way I was going to miss the best birding shots due to my
  • I am a pretty amateur photographer, but this lens makes action shots look great.
  • I mentioned that I didn't care for this at first, well, I had read a lot about it, then I bought one and was told it was best on a full-frame, so I put it on my 5DmkII, on static shots it worked O.K., but birds in flight, (BiF
  • Shooting low light was a little tricky, but I was still able to get off a few really good shots.
  • This became a VERY cumbersome process and actually caused me to miss a few good shots fumbling around with fine tune settings

  • Fast focus, very good image stabilization handheld "VC"
  • Focus was fast and accurate, at least for the still objects I tested

Reviews around life (2.18 of 5)

  • Better than any of the cannon "L" lens that I own (I own 3).
  • For those looking for a lens that will support wild life photography and birding and not wanting to spend a lot of money this lens may be an excellent option for you as it has proven to be for me.
  • This is an excellent lens for wild life photography on a budget.
  • I also liked the lock feature at 150mm which is much easier than the lock ring mechanism at the 100-400.I got the chance to take some test shots against my 100-400 and this Tamron was surprisingly sharper than the Canon 100-400mm L in the same settings
  • I Also was able to shot some wild life on Grandfather Mountain, fantastic.

  • I do notice that the lens will have a harder time focusing in poor light, good light is generally needed for quick focusing and faster shots
  • I looked at this and the Sigma and had a hard time justifying the almost double the cost in the Sigma.
  • No as sharp I like it
