After driving myself nuts with reviews of all the big zooms, this was on sale for $800.00. Talk about bang for your buck.. Very, very sharp, I think at all focal lengths. Great VR, some vr jump after the shot, but ok... easy to hand hold with the tripod collar on & it makes a great carry handle...

I just got this lens and was messing about in the yard. I was probably 40 feet from this leaf, at full extension. I'm pleased with the image quality. It's a heavy beast, though! Camera used was a Nikon D7200, 1/1250 second at f/8, 1600 ISO.

Pros:- reach light weight effective VC decent IQ price Cons:- Have to use f/8 to get decent sharpness at 600mm Not a replacement for 600mm f/4

I got this product around a year back for the price one pay when you compare it with Canon or Nikon its magnificent. It really does not work in low light but and its bit heavy when you have to wait for your subject.. I captured some great shot on with these lens and I am happy with it.

My first good impressions were its size and weight which are smaller than what I thought; it is good!! Put it on my Nikon D850 and took it out to a park; I like its sharpness and AF accuracy, again beyond my expectation. Only had it for two weeks and so far I am very impressed and happy.

I did quite a bit of research on this lens and competitors lenses in this price range, The Tamron 150-600 is very popular, and I can certainly see why. I consider myself to be an enthusiast level photographer.

This is a very good quality.lens., It is light weight for a 600mm telephoto, Auto focusing is fast, faster than I expected; This lens is very capable of producing sharp pictures; Great price for a lens with this kind of capability and quality.

This lens meets or exceeds my expectations; So I can't complain; No Cons!

great for nature photography.

Durable; Easily Interchangeable

I just made my first purchase from Ritz, a 150-600 Tamron Lens. It's a spectacular piece of equipment. It was competitively priced and was delivered in a matter of days. If you are thinking about making a purchase I say, "go ahead and do it."

Tamron's new ultra-zoom lens, the SP 150-600MM F/5-6.3 Di VC USD, is a large and powerful zoom lens for anyone that is looking to get up close and personal with their subjects. This large lens can be used with either Full-Frame or APS-C sized image sensors, although with an APS-C sensor you are...

Amazing zoom range; perfect for shooting from a distance; Vibration Correction adds up to 4 stops of correction when shooting handheld; Although large; it is compact for this class of lens; Smooth; easy rotating rings for zoom and focus; Weather-sealed for shooting in all conditions; Affordable...

Problems with the AF system on the cameras when using this lens; Slight amount of give when the lens is attached to a camera body

The Tamron's 600mm focal length is the longest in its class, so if it's absolute reach you're after, it has a clear advantage over other lenses currently on the market. The Sigma comes closest, with the camera manufacturers all offering 400mm instead.
