Used product like new and love it

Focus on the Tamron is really good above 250mm. not so much from 150-200. That being said I have taken the best shots of Alligators and Ospreys as it can get you real close fast. All in all the lens functions as Id hoped. It is a bit of a beast as far as weight though so be prepared.

great lens

Used it for quite a bit even when I cae acroff animals and birds. Focuses fast enough to get sharp photos and video during the day outdoors. WIth high ISO and stablization you can get it to work well indoors as well .

Solid lens, especially for the price point

This lens seems to be well built and works flawlessly with my Canon T7i. Autofocus is quick and spot on, pictures are crisp. I use it primarily for nature shots, birds and other wildlife. I do use a tripod most of the time as the combination of camera and lens is a bit heavy. I have taken offhand shots with no blurring or other problems.

I'm very happy with this product and I think it's a great lens for the price. Several of my photography club friends recommended this lens to me.

My new Tamron 150-600 mm G2 lens is tack sharp and so easy to use. It works so well in continuous mode. The wings on the humming birds that I photograph are so clear. I had a Sigma 150-500, but was never satisfied with the results. Tamron beats it by a mile!

Very good lens, best used with tripod if in lower light.

The lens is everything I expected; solid, dependable, not too heavy, focuses pretty quickly. The only reason I gave a "4" is that it needs a brighter/sunnier day. The wider front lens helps but you still need a larger aperture and higher ISO to let the best light in. You also need a fast shutter speed, if you are not using a tripod, since the size of the lens tends to make it a bit hard to hold steady. On the whole it is a very good lens but best used on a tripod if the light isn't right.

Tamron 150-600 great wildlife lens.

Perfect lens for my wildlife pictures. Great addition to my Niko D850. The G2 model is fast focusing, crystal clear at a reasonable price.

Fantastic lens with beautiful optics. Slight issue using it with my new mirrorless Canon R5, but I found work-arounds in the settings and it now functions seamlessly and I have been thrilled with my images.

Great new Tamron telefoto lens

The weather has not cooperated so I've only been able to use it once, but I'm impressed with the results. I used it to take close-ups of songbirds visiting my feeders and I'm very happy with the results. The photos were crisp, showing great detail on the feathers and the colors were true-to-life. It appears to be an excellent value for the price. This is a replacement lens for a Tamron 150-500 mm zoom lens I bought over a decade ago. That was a great lens but I've worn it out. I hope I get as many years of excellent service out of this new lens.

What a crisp lens, beautiful pictures and easy to use, I like how you can put it on a monopod for help with the heaviness but you could also do handheld if needed

Happy with the Tamron 150 - 600mm G2

I was hesitant at first to go with this lens but finally bit the bullet and ordered. It arrived a few days later. My first impression was that is was well made and light for it's size and focal length 150 - 600 mm. I took it out the next day to photograph some Burrowing Owls. These are very small owls about the size of a hand. They are a protected bird, so getting to close to them and their nesting area is not allowed by law. That's where to 600mm end of the focal length comes into play. I decided to go hand held to see how everything worked out. I was quite happy with the results. The images were crisp and clear. The focus was fast and accurate. I did raise my ISO higher than I normally shoot to enable me to use faster shutter speeds. There are not many affordable options (for me at least) in the 600mm range. I am very happy with the purchase. One note, I am using this with a DSLR and not mirrorless.

Great Lens For Wild Life

So far it's been a great lens. Has some interesting setting for short or long focal length - a handy feature. The upside is it really brings in the wildlife, but be prepared if you want to hike and take hand held images, it's heavy, but I've gotten used to it.

About Tamron SP 150-600/5-6.3 Di VC G2

PRO REVIEW by Alex Cearns, Photographer and Creative Director

"When I need more zoom, I reach for "The Beast" of lenses: the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 telephoto lens. It produces vibrant color saturation, is fast focusing, and can be hand-held for short periods with minimal camera shake. It performs well in all lighting conditions, and the clarity of the telephoto end (600mm zoom) has to be seen to be believed. "

Explore the world of ultra-telephoto photography with the next-generation Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Canon EF (Model A022). This advanced lens, a successor to the highly acclaimed SP 150-600mm (Model A011), offers enhanced optical performance, faster autofocus speed, and improved vibration compensation (VC), making it a powerful tool for capturing sharp, high-definition images, even when shooting handheld.

The SP 150-600mm G2 lens features a sophisticated optical construction with 21 elements in 13 groups, including three Low Dispersion (LD) lens elements that effectively eliminate axial and transverse chromatic aberrations. The lens also boasts anti-reflection technologies such as Extended Bandwidth and Angular-Dependency (eBAND) Coating and Broad-Band Anti-Reflection (BBAR) Coating. These technologies improve light transmission and suppress internal reflections, ensuring that even backlit or semi-backlit photographs are free from ghosting and flare.

With a reduced Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 2.2m (86.6 in), the SP 150-600mm G2 lens allows you to delve into tele-macro photography and create images with dramatic bokeh. The lens is equipped with an Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) ring-type motor, ensuring fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus, even when tracking moving subjects.

The lens's Vibration Compensation (VC) system offers three modes, providing up to 4.5 stops of image stabilization, as per the standards established by the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA). This ensures sharp, blur-free images, whether you're shooting stills or tracking action.

The innovative FLEX ZOOM LOCK mechanism allows you to lock or unlock the zoom at any position simply by sliding the zoom ring, offering flexibility and control. The lens also features a protective fluorine coating on the front element, making it resistant to water, oil, dirt, dust, and fingerprints. The lens's moisture-resistant construction includes leak-proof seals throughout the lens barrel, providing added protection when shooting outdoors.

The SP 150-600mm G2 lens is compatible with the optional TAMRON TAP-in Console, which allows you to update your lens's firmware and customize features via a USB connection to your computer. The lens is also compatible with Tamron's exclusive 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters, extending the maximum zoom range up to 1200mm. This lens is designed for use with Canon EOS DSLR cameras, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's gear.

Tamron SP 150-600/5-6.3 Di VC G2 Features

  • Optical design enhanced to achieve even higher performance
  • Tamron's sophisticated eBAND Coating eliminates ghosting and flare
  • MOD reduced to 7' (1:3.9 max. mag. Ratio) to provide optimum tele-macro photography
  • AF speed is faster and much more responsive with moving subjects
