Tamron 150-600 offers amazing value for money.
I bought this lens because it offered 600mm over the 400mm of my canon lens that had gone in for repairs. I read numerous reviews which praised the lens for its value for money. I took the lens to Lake Mungo National Park where I had 2 days bright sunshine and a day of overcast skies and rain.

Up to now it is one of the best 3rd party long zoom lens - future will decide if new Sigma 150-600 zooms are not better.
Used with Canon EOS 1D M4 and compared to Canon EF 300L F2.8 IS M2 with 2xTC M3. Tamron's actual max focal length is 580mm. At the max focal length pictures are lucking about 5% of sharpness against EF 300L F2.8 IS M2 with 2xTC M3 converter.
Pros:
- Easy to use

Excellent lens for the value
In it's class of super telephoto lenses this is a great value for the cost. Photos are sharp and clear. I took the time to calibrate (AF) the lens to camera and found the lens right on the money w/o adjustment.

I really like this lens
I really like this lens. It is very sharp and quite fast focusing. It is quite heavy but I find the weight helps to steady it when shooting without a tripod.

I had already bought a 2 times converter as I could not afford a dedicated Canon tele lens but wasn't satisfied with the quality or resolution
I needed a telephoto lens for a pending holiday in the Highlands of Scotland, my camera is a Canon 7D. I had already bought a 2 times converter as I could not afford a dedicated Canon tele lens but wasn't satisfied with the quality or resolution.

Excellent value
I recently purchased this lens and used it almost exclusively during a stay of a week on an island photographing all manner of seabirds including the ubiquitous Puffin; for the price I paid the lens was outstanding producing sharp and detailed images sometimes at great range.
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Simple Controls

The Tamron 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD , ( buy from Amazon ) ( review ) is Tamron's latest (and longest) telephoto zoom. It will presumably replace the Tamron 200-500/5-6.3, since the two are close in price and the 150-600 is better in just about every respect.

With some imagination, you have a lens that can be used for a variety of creative projects. The Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3 is a reasonably priced lens that really delivers. It's not a cheap doorstop telephoto lens. While it is f5-6.3, make no mistake: this lens is phenomenal.
