It's not all that long ago that a 150-600mm zoom would have been a big, bulky – and pricey – beast indeed. Plus the optical performance may not have been all that much to write home about either, which is why any photo-grapher who regularly needed superte...
Having a supertelephoto capability in your lens arsenal used to be expensive, particularly so if you only really needed to use it on occasion. So when it comes as part of a zoom's ‘package' – and an affordable zoom at that – it's very big bonus.Additional...

While we feel this lens is best suited to cameras with 'full frame' sensors, it can also be used on cropped sensor cameras, where it covers the equivalent focal lengths of 225-900mm with Nikon and Sony cameras or 240-960mm on Canon's APS-C bodies. Nikon o...
Although significantly more expensive than the original model, like its predecessor, the second-generation Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 is superior to its predecessor in optical performance and has better stabilisation. It represents very good...

The past several years have seen a renaissance in third-party lenses with renewed investment and substantial improvements in build and image quality from the likes of Sigma and Tamron. The new SP 150-600mm Di VC USB G2 is the beneficiary of these improvem...

The most direct competitor to this lens is Sigma's 150-600mm f/5-6.3, which is offered in a Contemporary option for a less-expensive $1,000 or a weather-sealed Sport variant, which is pricier than the Tamron at $1,999. The Tamron lens is significantly lig...

The 150-600mm telezoom lens has come into its own in recent years. Tamron came to the party first, with its affordable SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD, but was quickly joined by Sigma, which released consumer and pro-grade versions of its 150-600mm simulta...

The Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens has some edge sharpness issues, but is an overall solid performer, especially when paired with an APS-C SLR...

With this G2 model, Tamron has updated its popular 150-600mm introduced in late 2013. During its short life span, the Tamron 150-600mm has become a classic of its kind. At around $1400, the new G2 version has faster AF and enhanced stabilization over its...
Tamron has done much more than just a casual update of this lens, having totally redesigned the exterior, added improved weather sealing and a new quick-locking mechanism to maintain a set focal length, and even included a built-in Arca-Swiss compatible l...

Having a 150-600mm focal length range in an attractive, well-built, relatively small and light lens with Vibration Control (VC), Ultrasonic Drive (USD) AF and a price that doesn't require a second mortgage to afford is a dream for many wildlife and sports...
I have to admit that I didn't expect to see the second generation of Tamron's first 150-600mm VC lens arriving this soon. And, I didn't expect the upgrade to be such a substantial one. While I can't say that image quality was dramatically improved, the fo...

Tamron introduced the second generation (G2) of its popular 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC lens in September 2016, bringing a new look to match that of more recent SP optics, along with improved weather sealing. Inside, Tamron updated the construction of the len...
High-quality fast and long telephoto lenses are expensive to develop and manufacture, so they command a high price. The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR, for example, retails for over $12,000, while the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM costs in excess o...
