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.

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.
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.
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
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).
