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".
