Tamron 150-500 mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD
I don't doubt that the tested lens complements the market offer quite well, especially if you don't need the 600 mm focal length. Instead you get noticeably lower weight and dimensions. You can also save several hundreds $, not a trifle.
Pros:
- very good image quality in the frame centre across the whole focal range,, good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,, negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,, slight lateral chromatic aberration,, imperceptible spherical aberration,, moderate astigmatism,, sensible coma correction,,...
Cons:
- too weak image quality on the edge of full frame at the maximum focal length,, too high pincushion distortion in the middle of the focal range,, distinct vignetting on full frame,, significant "breathing".

Tamron 150-500mm F5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Review
The Tamron 150-500mm F5-6.7 Di III VC VXD lens has the zoom power you'll want for sports and wildlife imaging, as well as a sturdy build to handle location work. The Tamron 150-500mm F5-6.7 Di III VC VXD ($1,199 to $1,499) super-telephoto zoom for the Fuji, Nikon, and Sony systems undercuts many first-party options on price while still delivering competitive picture quality. The surprisingly compact optic also focuses quickly, features full weather protection, and can capture decent macros. The competition varies depending on the platform you use, but this Tamron manages to present excellent value to sports and wildlife photographers on any of them. Pros and specialists might still prefer the longer reach of our Editors' Choice winners, the Sigma 150-600mm DN OS Sports ($1,499) and the Fuji XF 150-600mm ($1999.95), but the 150-500mm confidently slots into all of these system lineups as a more versatile, often more affordable alternative to the standard 100-400mm zoom.Available for Fuji, Nikon, and Sony Tamron initially marketed the 150-500mm for Sony cameras exclusively but has since added Fujifilm X and Nikon Z editions to its catalog.

Pros:
- Excellent telephoto optics

- Superb stabilization
- 1:3 macro focus
- Available for Fuji, Nikon, and Sony cameras
Cons:
- Doesn't work with teleconverters
- Dim aperture limits low-light use
- Doesn't support full burst rate of some Sony cameras

Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VXD Lens review
Third-party vendors have a difficult task when it comes to super-tele zoom lenses in Sony E-mount. There's a behemoth in town - the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS. For many wildlife photographers, this lens alone is a reason for choosing Sony over other brands.

Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E - BRAND NEW review
I like this lens, and am pleased with the images that it has made possible. It handles well, and the results are sharp, with some absolutely gorgeous bokeh, despite only having 7 diaphragm blades.
