REVIEW: Tamron SP AF 200-500mm F/5-6.3 Di LD (IF)
This super-telephoto zoom lens from Tamron costs around ￡865 and has an internal focus design and is relatively lightweight for its focal range. Photographers looking for something more telephoto than the standard 70-300mm range will look to a lens like this for capturing subjects such as birds and...
Pros:
- Good resolution throughout the zoom range
- Low CA at 200mm and 500mm
- Relatively light weight
- Filter effect control system useful when using a polariser
Cons:
- Higher CA levels at 300mm
- Zoom creeps when lens is pointed downwards
- 86mm filter size

I recently changed my 7D for a 5D mk2 and now find that my Canon 300mm (480on my 7D)was not long enough for my needs. I am more a landscape photographer I suppose but want a lens for wildlife now and then that will give me pin sharp images in reasonable lighting conditions without costing north of...

Tamron 200-500mm f/5-6.3 Di LD IF SP AF review by mikekovach
I have been using this lens on a Sony A700 and have never had an issue with the quality of the images. I do wish that the lens has SSM and a much faster focus. With that said, I found for my sensor setting the ISO at 800, SS at 500-1000 and aperture between F9\F16 really improves the sharpness of...
Pros:
- Excellent results from 200-500
- no distortion
- CA or loss of detail
Cons:
- Difficult to hand hold at full extension

Perfect compliment to my 18 to 200 Canon
Along with my 18-200 Canon lens, this now gives me everything from 18-500mm with only 2 lenses. Best to use a good mono or tripod, but in good lighting it can be used without. I love taking it to the Zoo and Wild Animal Park and have taken some great photos.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

The latest long zoom from Tamron gives an excellent focal length range from 200-500mm. This is a Di lens that is designed to work with the APS-C sensor DSLRs. It's a very long lens in terms of its focal length and, indeed, physical size.

I own Bigma and Tamron 200-500. Use with Canon 5D. CS3 records that Tamron is 200-486.I did tests to see if whether Tamron or Bigma is of longer zoom. Tripod, focus on same subject. Very obviously, if Tamron is 486mm, Bigma at the very most is 450mm, a good chance even shorter at 440mm.
