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.
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
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.
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
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.
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.
