Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2

Pros: Weight, Robustness, Autofocus & Stabilization, Tropicalization

Cons: Small loss of sharpness, slightly dark

Opinion: I've been using this Tamron for almost a year now, taken used by RCE in perfect condition! I use it combined with a Nikon D7200 for Wildlife photography in the high mountains, outside protected parks and in often difficult areas, I immediately liked the sturdy construction, to the touch it gives safety even in the most critical conditions and the tropicalization allows it to be used even in a light rain or during a snowfall. The ratio between the type of lens and its weight is very good and allows comfort for prolonged use, the bracket for attaching to the tripod is also excellent. The fast autofocus, the good construction and positioning of the selective sliders together with the stabilization, which allows shots in difficult light conditions, allow you to have everything under control in the instant of shooting! At full aperture, f5 at 150mm and especially f6.3 at 600mm, you can find some loss of sharpness, closing the diaphragm at f8, in fact, the recovered sharpness is clearly visible. Unfortunately, as in my case that I can't work at too high ISO (max 2000), due to the fairly small aperture of the aperture, the use of high shutter speeds, to capture for example the leap of an animal, is quite limited and most of the time you can't go below 1/1000 of a second. I recommend the lens for advanced amateur use, it is certainly not up to professional lenses (e.g. Nikon AF-S 400 f2.8 or the new Z-line lenses) but for the passionate nature photographer looking for something robust, efficient and without too high demands it is an excellent compromise, also for the quality-price ratio!
