  | sent on 21 Ottobre 2018 Pros: sharpness, good contrast, versatility, relative compactness and weight, focus accuracy, price, Cons: servo focus and tracking not as fast as similar canon L lens Opinion: This is my 2nd lens as the 1st lens had focus issues. Very pleased with this lens. Very sharp with good contrast at Max aperture 6.3 ( very slight improvement at F8 ) at 400mm which is where it is used mostly. Focus is quick and precise, good for slow moving everyday subjects. However tracking is slower than my canon 400mm 5.6 lens, which is to be expected. Any bird in flight or fast moving photography I use the canon lens which is fantastic, however it has limitations with close focus at 14 feet and no image stabilisation. This is when the Tamron lens takes over. This is a joy to use and I find myself using it the majority of times when I want reach and versatility. I would recommend this lens. |

  | sent on 28 Giugno 2024 Pros: Handling, sharpness, stabilization, all excellent in relation to the price (even more than used) Cons: For now, the only defect detected is the absence of the tripod ring, an additional cost, although perhaps not essential Opinion: Bought used in perfect condition at just over half the price as new. No need for adjustment, not even the fine one offered by the camera body (tested on both 6DII and 80D). I found it extremely manageable and manageable even without a tripod, also thanks to the very efficient stabilizer. I held it for about 15 minutes while standing waiting for the Mallard, which I posted in the gallery, to flail its wings, and I must say that I did not feel any discomfort. I found the autofocus very similar to the Canon EF 70-300 IS USM II, judged by many to be ultra-fast thanks to the particular motor it is equipped with. I can also say the same about sharpness, perhaps with a slight advantage in favor of the Tamron. So I would say that, for what little I have been able to try, I fully agree with the various reviews found on the net, in which I have heard this lens praised from all points of view, judging it second (but not by much) only to the Canon EF 100-400 L IS USM II, which by all accounts is the number one in the category, unfortunately also as a price....! |
 | sent on 03 Maggio 2022 Pros: Nobody Cons: Unresponsive and inaccurate autofocus, non-existent stabilizer, strong vignetting, chromatic aberrations Opinion: Used for more than a year in combination with a Canon EOS90D for dynamic subject photography (cars, planes, birdlife) Weight and dimensions are in line with the same focal lengths of other brands. The stabilizer is practically non-existent, you have to continuously press halfway on the shutter button to hang up the subject but every time the stabilization is lost immediately. The autofocus is poorly responsive, it cannot follow the movements of fast objects and when it succeeds the subject has already left. Often the autofocus goes into lockdown and even pointing to a well-defined and distant subject does not move, in addition to the fact that every now and then it goes crazy and slides back and forth the entire focal length. I also noticed these flaws on another Tamron lens, an 18-200, so the only solution is to turn the camera off and on again. Problems I never had with original Canon lenses and are the reason why I consider my experience with Tamron lenses over. Chromatic aberrations are present, but these can be corrected in postproduction. The vignetting is very strong already observing the photos normally, if you then do the equalization of the photos you realize the phenomenon. It is not very bright, but for the money it costs you can not expect better. Suitable only for photography of static subjects. It is not worth the money it costs, I do not recommend it. |
 | sent on 17 Ottobre 2021 Pros: Sharpness, weight, excursion and blurry Cons: Given the price none Opinion: In my opinion it is worth more than it costs. The sharpness is equal to a fixed with the difference that you go from 100 to 400 on all focal lengths does not lose anything. Handy, I use it when I want to travel light as a replacement for the Nikon 200-500 in my opinion less sharp. I mount it on both D500 and D750 very sharp on both. I find it much better even than the 300 PF. Slightly dark but actually a little and then being of good quality in post production you can increase the brightness without losing details. The color Tends slightly to magenta but shooting in raw then with the post you fix everything easily. Also perfect for making some portraits at 100mm and F / 4.5 the close-ups amazed me with an excellent detachment between the subject and the blurred and even in the macro field I was satisfied by having a good minimum focusing distance it manages to get very close with very good results. The three-foot ring do not give it supplied but I find it useless as it shoots very well without. I absolutely recommend it!! |
 | sent on 08 Dicembre 2020 Pros: light, handy, very sharp and with excellent blurry. Cons: maybe not very responsive in autofocus, but these are finesses. non-standard tripod ring. Opinion: I have been using it for 2 years and I personally found myself very well, for my needs. I find it very sharp, in line with the technical reviews I have seen and with a great blur (bokeh). I have no problem with the speed of autofocus (for superfasts suitable for bird photonaturalism you have to look at something else, much more expensive). I find a fall in style the lack of tripod ring not included in the package. Otherwise very good as far as I'm concerned. |
 | sent on 13 Novembre 2020 Pros: Weight - price Cons: a little unluminous (but I knew it) - not very fast the AF (I have Canon 250D) Opinion: I have had it for a few months, although, due to Covid, I could not test it thoroughly, I am satisfied with it. It's quite light, given the focal point. Great value for money. Stabilization is very good. Instead I found the AF not always fast. I found it a little dark, but not too dark. I'd say it's great as an entry-level for those who want to start using a long focal point and on a budget |
  | sent on 29 Agosto 2020 Pros: I add myself to the majority: valid incisiveness - weight contained (without ring) - sense of solidity - unreachable value for money - guarantee. Cons: Reduced brightness and ring not included: see "opinion". Opinion: As for the reduced brightness, compared to the original optics the difference is modest: 6.3 vs. 5.6 to 400mm. As for the ring, I took an alternative cost of 40 euros, so less than 1/3 of the original, from which it has just nothing to send. Add that it is easily removable. My rating (9) rises to 9.5 if you take into account the excellent value for money. |
 | sent on 11 Luglio 2020 Pros: Value for money, weight, sharpness, control of chromatic aberrations and parasitic light, stabilization. Cons: AF hooking on moving subjects, lack of tropicalization. Opinion: I've had this lens for about two years and I've paired it first with a Nikon d3200 and then the d500. I would say I'm really pleased: we're on another planet compared to the Tamron 70-300 and, at least on APSC, it's not far from the originals. The bracket is not included, but can be found by third parties at reasonable prices. The construction, although made of plastic, is very good, especially considering the price (the Canon 100-400 costs about twice as much), and the weight is very low. Also good control of the chromatic aberrations and flare, the stabilization is really good, as well as the sharpness. As for autofocus, on the other hand, it sometimes struggles to hook on moving subjects, this is perhaps the only limit of the goal, besides the fact that it is not tropicalized. So, by drawing the sums, my vote for this lens is 9.5 out of 10. I highly recommend it for wildlife and bird photography, mating with APSC bodies, especially for those on a fairly low budget. |
 | sent on 22 Giugno 2020 Pros: Construction, price, AF, sharpness, weight and warranty. Cons: tripod collar not included. Opinion: Having taken it a few days I have not yet been able to test it thoroughly, but already from the first shots it satisfies me with regard to sharpness and autofocus. Purchased for use in conjunction with an Eos-1d mark IV is appreciated for the weight being able to use it quietly freehand, although with a challenging body with the Eos-1. I read that some people complain about the opening at 6.3 but from my point of view it is not a problem. The only flaw in my opinion is the lack of the collar for standard tripod, although it still remains a product with excellent value for money, especially when compared to the 100-400 Canon, compared to which it costs less than half. To finish excellent the 10-year warranty with a small extra expense (5 standard plus 5 others with a small surcharge). |
 | sent on 15 Gennaio 2020 Pros: All and more (for what I do). Cons: Nothing, unless you have special needs and a lot of money to spend (those who take certain types of photos go directly on the 500 f4 and therefore does not pose the problem). Opinion: I have it for about a year, and the more I use it the more it surprises me, especially on APS (Nikon D5600). The stability and sharpness are incredible, the autofocus is lightning fast and the mistakes happen like in 2 cases out of 100 of which one and a half is my fault. It weighs as little as a lens like that, and, at least for what I do, I don't need the ring for the tripod (which is not included). The images require a bit of post-production to improve contrast, especially over 200 mm, but with a few minutes of work they are then excellent. It gives me a huge number of DRITTE photos, with the "right" walls, to lead, when with the other lenses that I often tending to shoot crooked and having to do tedious straightening work. The graphs did not show much difference with the various 100-400 more ephaly (which cost almost three times) and in fact the images are ultra sharp, with little (if anything) fall to the sides and corners (if there, responds well to postproduction). The blur is beautiful, although not exceptional and with some "onion ring" circle (but who cares?). It certainly does not excel in brightness, and this becomes particularly noticeable in APS (where it turns into a 150-600 f6.7-9.5 equivalent), but the stabilizer makes large numbers to remedy the problem. I could check many sharp shots at 1/40 to 600 mm equivalent (almost 4 stop advantage!). A bomb for an anti-tripod like me. You can "track" the birds in flight well, with all that the performance of the machines in my possession (D800, D5600) are far from excellence in the matter (but I rarely take that kind of photo, my "birdlife" is limited to the Seagulls of Rome and little else). I do not see any significant color aberration in the photos, when there are are instantly eliminated by machines or software. It allows you to approach at a good distance from things (a meter and a half or so). I find it beautiful in the landscape. It's stupid, but it's very beautiful aesthetically. It has a voluminous lampshade, this less beautiful to see, which does its job well. Highly recommended, I get to vote even 10. |
 | sent on 12 Luglio 2019 Pros: . Cons: . Opinion: I took this new lens a few days ago. and right away I liked it for its weight. light and well done. I've tried in various situations and honestly I can't complain about anything. has good quality in everything and I managed to make nice crop. The lens I like throughout and the stabilization works well.the only thing sometimes at 400mm struggles to focus at the slightest distance and sometimes even over the meter and 50..instead moving the selector has a lightning focus always. The comparison price to others is very good! (on d500) now after a week of mountain trials with birds and deer on the move I have to say that single-point and 3D focus is not the best. I hope it's a problem of mine. if not this lens is good to photograph you far away but not with moving subjects. I saw the bird in the viewfinder in blurry flight but it didn't focus in any way. otherwise it works well you can not complain. ps: the lens has been replaced and now the focus and lightning! when used with fast times better not use stabilization. |

| sent on 06 Giugno 2019 Pros: Construction, AF, sharpness, weight and price. Cons: At the moment no one Opinion: Purchased these days, on an online site, at the price I would say great of 500 euros. I've been trying it out for two days with a Nikon D850 in both FX and DX and I have to say that from the first shots, I was surprised by the sharpness it makes to all the focal points. As for the focus, same speech, hooks the subject and holds it smoothly. It will be the camera, it will be that I guessed "the good one" but I'm really satisfied with the purchase, we must also add the lightness that is no small thing, especially having to photograph for a whole day skating competitions and not secondary the price which is really good. I compared it with the sigma 150-600, regardless of price, and weight, the yield is on the same levels, so I can confirm with knowledge of the cause, which in my opinion is a very good lens in its category, and I recommend without hesitation the purchase. About the lack of the collar for tripods that in the original costs about 140 euros, on Amazon I found one of competition at the price of 39 euros then, solved the problem |
 | sent on 18 Gennaio 2019 Pros: Price, construction, AF, sharpness Cons: Can suffer from flare with backlit subjects (but only with direct light in the lens), slight tendency of colors to purple/magenta (not always a flaw) Opinion: I took this lens predominantly for naturalistic after reading several reviews (on Juza still there were few, it was just out) and saw several video reviews (Dustin Abbott, Christopher Frost) and I decided. I have been using it for a year and I am very satisfied with the purchase: The lens focuses quickly, is not hesitant in trying to trace the subject (Tested on 50d and 6d Mark II), does not seem to suffer from F/B focus and is already available a firmware update that improves additional Performance. The stabilization is effective, but especially the lens is sharp, almost as much as the Canon 100-400l Mark II, of course the latter still remains the reference lens, but the Tamron is what you approach most. The advice for nature photography, apparently works well with multipliers and so far has never missed a shot. I also used it for landscapes and did its job. Defects? The direction of zoom and focus like that of Nikon, but you get used to it right away. It may suffer from flare if you shoot with the sun in the frame, but it is a common problem even at the best Tele Zoom lenses at human prices. Sometimes it can slightly stretch the colors towards magenta, defect that you can safely fix in post and sometimes I have not corrected (gives the lens a little ' personality). |
 | sent on 27 Dicembre 2018 Pros: Excellent value for money, overall sharpness, very natural colors, good and fast focusing, excellent stabilizer... Feather weight! Cons: None for me! Opinion: I can not speak well of the Tamron 100-400, is a light lens but from a pleasant feeling of robustness, I could not find fault (given the price), many complain about the lack of the collar for the tripod, available for a fee,... if Tamron the It included in the price and so it did cost as the Sigma 100-400...il game was made, the sigma costs more and it is not even pearranged... and we talk about an almost identical optics! So why complain about the lack of an accessory, that if we want is not strictly necessary given the excellent stabilization and since its direct competitor does not even have it??? It's my opinion, of course! |
 | sent on 11 Agosto 2018 Pros: Focus speed, sharp, weight, natural colors, stabilization. Cons: Ring for three feet to buy aside. Opinion: My first impression since I had it or noticed from the right away the sharpness and very natural colors, very effective stabilization, the weight is not very excessive. A good compromise for a super tele. Made with very robust materials. Very fluid and precise. And an excellent compromise quality price, the only negative three foot ring not included, to buy apart. |
 | sent on 23 Luglio 2018 Pros: sharpness, color, focus, stabilizer and robustness Cons: If I really have to be fussy about the ring for the tripod sold apart. With the lens hood mounted on the contrary you can not use the zoom ring well Opinion: I purchased it a few days so I'll have to do more tests before giving a definite review. At the first impact is sturdy and very light (often using the Tamron 150-600 you feel the difference). From the first test shots with a Canon 80d I was amazed immediately the colors, much more vivid than the 150-600 and for the sharpness. I have not yet tried the different modes of the stabilizer in the field but I have to re that on photos with stationary subjects in light conditions not optimal does his job well. Autofocus is fast and accurate. I have not had at the moment the need to use the tap-in Tamron as no problems have emerged. Too bad for the ring for the tripod that is sold apart, but given the lightness of the lens do not feel the need at the Momemto. I will evaluate the purchase in the future. At the moment I give 9 over 10. |
 | sent on 19 Maggio 2018 Pros: Sharpness, natural colors, fast focus and selectable according to use, VR (1-2-OF) tripod bracket, sealed, robustness in general Cons: Bracket cost not included in the lens price but sold apart Opinion: The first thing I liked about this lens is its sturdiness and its minimum focusing distance (1.5 m) often for this range of lenses is significantly higher, other thing is the color calibration, it is true that in post production you can do everything , but it is also true that already have a buna image with natural colors is more beautiful, add cold light and for those photos of avifauna and sport of cars and motorcycles is great, the tripod bracket already has the joints to be able to mount on the overhead heads and this causes To be able to balance it correctly and not like the Sigma 100/400 that there is no ha and on the tripod you have to mount the camera and so it becomes completely unbalanced. The focus is very fast and you have 2 selections + off, the VR also has 2 selections + off for the time being I have no riscontrto of any focal vignetting. I'm really glad to have made this choice |
 | sent on 08 Gennaio 2018 Pros: Value of the price, sharpness, speed af, weight Cons: Separate tripod ring, requires Tamron tap-in Opinion: I decided to take the new Tamron after watching comparative videos on youtube with both the canon and the sigma 100-400 sport, and they talked well, I'm more than satisfied with the purchase, weighs together with the tripod ring unfortunately to be paid separately, about 145 euros, 1,300 kilos without front and rear caps, just took a little star, I had to buy the tap-in tamron and I'm setting, I can only recommend this goal both for the relationship quality, sharpness and for the speed of autofocus ... rnHo posted some first test photos quarnhttps: //www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php? l = en & t = 2631336 & show = 2 |
