Tamron SP 150-600/5-6.3 Di 

Top Rated Gear: Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Telephoto Lens for Nikon F Mount Color: Black, Filter Size: 95mm, Focus Type: Auto Focus, Lens Format: Full Frame, Lens Series: Tamron Di, Lens Type: Telephoto Zoom

The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD AF is an ultra-long telephoto zoom lens for full-frame Nikon DSLRs and APS-C sensor Nikon cameras. Featuring image stabilization, fast, quiet autofocusing, and advanced lens coatings for sharp, contrasty photos, the lens is ideally suited for sports and wildlife photography, as well as for landscapes. It has a built-in tripod mount for use on tripods and monopods. On an APC-C sensor camera its focal range is equivalent to 233-930mm.  This all-new ultra-telephoto zoom lens features VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization, speedy, precise USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive), state-of-the-art eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) Coating, which significantly reduces the unwanted light reflections that cause flare and ghosting, and a sophisticated and stylish new external finish. Its 4x ultra-telephoto zoom capabilities, with a focal length range from 150mm to 600mm, enhance the creative potential of telephoto photography, a captivating feature for all photographers, particularly nature, wildlife, and sports shooters.  4x ultra-telephoto zoom lens with a focal length range of 150mm to 600mm:   The focal length range of this lens was extended by 50mm on the wide-angle side and 100mm on the telephoto side compared to the existing model A08, making it possible to take even more striking photographs of birds, wildlife, sports, and other distant subjects. Mounted on APS-C DSLR cameras, it has a stunning near 1000mm telephoto equivalent focal length range of 233mm to 930mm.   World class image quality:   Employing 20 elements in 13 groups and boasting an advanced optical design, the lens delivers a superior balance of resolution and contrast for sharp, clear images. The front group contains three LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements (two in the first group, one in the third) for enhanced optical correction effectiveness, enabling the lens to thoroughly compensate for on-axis aberrations at the telephoto end.  The lens also adopts eBAND Coating, developed from state-of-the-art coating technologies, and conventional BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating to greatly suppress ghosting and flare even when shooting under adverse lighting conditions.  Achieves a 600mm focal length in a compact easy-to-handle package:   Ingenious optical design features minimize the movement of lens groups within the lens when zooming. This reduces the amount of barrel extension needed to cover the complete focusing range, making the entire lens more compact.  Beautiful background blur effects:   Adopting a 9 blade circular diaphragm enables users to create beautiful background blur effects (Bokeh), which provide even greater potential for creative expression. This circular diaphragm retains a nearly circular shape even at two stops down from its maximum aperture.  VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism creates greater opportunities for sharper handheld photography:   Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization system uses a three-coil system, delivering significantly sharper images and creating greater opportunities for handheld ultra-telephoto photography.   Comfortable autofocus:   Tamron's new SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD features a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) ultrasonic motor drive for swift and accurate AF response, it delivers high torque, very fast response times, and very low noise. The full-time manual focus mechanism allows users to make fine manual focus adjustments at any time even when AF is engaged.  New elegant, high-class external finish:   Tamron has upgraded the cosmetic design and finish of this lens to create a more sophisticated, high-end look in keeping with the demands of discerning full-frame DSLR users. Employing a sophisticated linear pattern rubber grip on the zoom and focus rings and an attractive and stylish tungsten silver brand ring, this newly designed model accentuates its visceral presence with understated elegance and class.  Easy-to-use tripod mount:   The tripod mount has been completely redesigned to provide superior stability, durability, ease of use, and portability.  Comes with "SILKYPIX Developer Studio for Tamron, RAW image development processing software for Tamron's SP lenses:   The SILKYPIX Developer Studio software can develop high-quality images from RAW data, incorporating adjustments that can express the personal style and taste ofthe photographer. These include white balance, color, sharpness, and the tonal curves recorded by digital cameras. The SILKYPIX Developer Studio for Tamron provides a range of functions, in addition to the basic adjustment capabilities, such as correcting aberrations (chromatic aberrations of magnification, distortion, peripheral light fall-off), based on the optical data. Used in tandem with Tamron's SP series lenses - renowned for their high-depiction capability - this advanced technology efficiently produces images that meet photographers' most exacting demands.Compatible with Nikon AF DSLR cameras.

Lens

AF is quick, smooth, and silent, and manual focus is easily accomplished as well.  I have used it on a monopod and hand-held and am quite pleased.  It may be a tad soft compared to the Canon or Nikon zoom lenses (or prime lenses) in this telephoto range, but considering the cost difference the lens is great!

as advertised-- great value

Great lens! Nice and sharp. The price was so great for me.  I am new to wildlife photography and look forward to lots of fun with this lens.

Great Price on a great lens!

I LOVE THIS LENS SO FAR.I TOOK SOME BEAUTIFUL MOON PICTURES IN OHIO AND THEY WERE AWESOME! I CANNOT WAIT TO  EXPERIMENT WITH IT  SOON.

AWESOME LENS!!

I AM THRILLED WITH MY NEW LENS.I  HAVE USED IT A FEW TIMES SO FAR AND I AM LOVING IT.I TOOK SOME MOON PICTURES THAT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL.

This is a nice lens.  I mounted it on a Nikon Df and I was pleased with the build quality, the feel of the zoom, the speed on the autofocus and the quality of the images.  It would mainly be used outdoors because of the f/5-6.3 but how many people want to use a 600mm zoom anywhere else?  This quite a heavy lens and I would prefer  the zoom not extend out from the lens but for this price this is quite a good product.  I was hesitant to use "third party" lenses but I believe I am hooked until proven otherwise.

Very Pleasant Surprise

Great lens so far.  Have taken a number of photos of wildlife and the moon that have been great.  Great lens for the price.

Great, easy photos

grreat lens

This is a great lens! I am happy with it no complaints!

Awesome

It was everything the add had and more. I was impressed with the fast arrival time. I don't have any negative things to say.

Fast Arrival

Must have

Very impressed with the quality of the lens, and the sharp photo's even at 600mm. I did a lot of research on lenses within the price range and the others didn't even come close.

Tamron A011 lens

I've had no problems with this lens. It's been very dependable and takes great shots.

affordable

Light and fast focusing. Can be handheld for flight photography for short times.

Superb Lens for Wildlife Photography

I am thrilled with this purchase! The lens focuses quickly, and is sharp. You do need a lot of light, as expected with any lens of this length, but the noise wasn't as bad as I had expected even with very high iso. The image stabilization is good. I am 65 and taking  a lot of hand help photos. I highly recommend this lens.

Love this lens!

The Tamron sp 150-600 bundle was one of the most appropriate decisions I have ever made as a photographer.  I was working on deciding between two companies to purchase from, but with the added bundle for a matching price I made my first ever purchase from Adorama.  This was an amazing and smooth transaction.  The lens arrived quickly, with zero damage to box or product, and opening it was like Christmas.  When I bought the bundle I assumed it only came the cleaning kit and the lens filters.  As I inboxed it though it had everything!  A case, a lens hood, a lens cap leash, the cleaning kit, the filters, and a carrying case for the filters.  When I make another purchase sometime this year, I will be choosing Adorama.

Tamron so 150-600 bundle review: amazing lens and bundle!

This lens has made a world of difference in my ability to capture wildlife shots out in the field.

Quality glass

Used at Air Show

This lens is great for longer distance shots, but won't focus closer as does my Sigma 50-500mm Lens.  Almost have to carry another camera with a close-up lens, too.

Great Telephoto Lens for distant shots.

Great service and really good shipping time even on standard shipping. Got my order with amazing care and packaging so it was literally impossible for any damage to occur to my item during the shipping transit!

Definitely buy camera gear from Adorama!

This lens is very impressive.   It requires lots of light to pull sharp images.  With the image stabilization technology built into this lens, I am able to shoot 99% of my shots hand held.   I use a strap that attaches to the trim-pod connector.  This allows me to carry it around without wearing my arms out from the weight.  It has an excellent price point allowing hobbies like myself a chance to get into the long zoom range with some very impressive image potential.

This lens is very impressive

Exactly what I was looking for.  Very good sharpness at fool zoom.  Is fast at focus even at moving objects.  Lighter than what I expected while still feeling like it is well built.  I was able to take stunning pictures of wildlife and the full moon with all its craters. Additionally be able to capture close up video of my sons holiday performance from the back of audience.  Great value in comparison to all other makers of this category of zoom lens.

Excellent value and performance lense.

Great lens when it works but my copy stop working exactly after a month of use.

Stop working after a month of use.

Can say enough about this lenses. I use it on my Sony A7ii with an A mount to E mount converter. Together they are quite the pair. I've been on a trip about five days now and I've already filled a 64G memoir stick and half of another, I'm not shooting continuously, with wildlife shots. By far one of the best lenses I own. The autofocus can be slow but the manual focus is fast and easy to master. Great lens for nature and wildlife shots, would highly recommend.

Great lens for nature and wildlife

Only issue is sometimes a little slow to focus, it hunts a bit.  Images very clear. It works well with the Tamron 1.4x and 2x T/Cs. I shoot with a full frame Canon 5d Mk III.

Love this lens.

I considered this lens and Canon 70-200 with 2x.  I tested both and the value of the 150-600 is excellent.  It is heavy and I only use it with my Cotton Carrier.  Love the quality of the photos it takes.

Excellent Value

I am used to Nikon quality lenses. This Tamron lens is much better than expected. Using it with a Nikon D750. Highly recommended.

I am used to Nikon quality lenses. This Tamron lens is much better than expected.

I use this lens for baseball during the day and it does a great job for the price.  My best pictures come from my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8; however, that lens isn't long enough for outfield pictures or across field pictures.  Sometimes auto-focus doesn't work as quickly as I would like and occasionally I have to take the lens off the body and reinstall to get it to auto-focus again.  This is a great lens for wildlife too.

Great lens for the price

Amazing reach. It's a monster and everyone that sees you will ask you if you are a professional photographer. 

This camera lens was better than expected.
