Pros: Versatility, sharpness up to 500mm, weight

Cons: 600mm soft, zoom ring for a bit hard ..

Opinion: I come from 400 f / 5.6 L and 500 f / 4 IS L, so if I speak of sharpness, some comparison term I have. Initially I was not satisfied then, with the fine adjustment of the AF, everything has changed. It is true that the whole opening is detached from the trimmers but closing already f8 and without exceeding the 500mm the rendering at the level of sharpness does not matter at all .. (Look at my last photos x believe it.) But I do almost never hunt itinerant to I always shoot at a maximum of about 8mt where the lenses are not put under "effort." If I have to make appointments where I'm not sure about the distance of the subjects I bring the 500L that is more generous under that look .. the weight allows you 'Free-hand use helped by good stabilizer. Zooming is a bit hard and with a long hike. Voting 8

Pros: Price, stabilizer, weight

Cons: Tropicalization absent

Opinion: I have this lens just recently and I've only taken a few hundred shots but I just fell in love with it. The overall quality of the lens is very good and the plastics also give a very good feel to the touch; The sharpness is higher than my expectation and I must say that I was surprised. Then I would say that the stabilizer really does miracles, allowing you to shoot at 600 mm with a 1/125 s (!!!) micrometer time, really amazing . The anticipated only defect in my opinion is the absence of tropicalization that poses the risk of infiltrating dust over the years even though I do not think anyone has ever experienced any real dust-infiltration problem.

Pros: Crisp, high stability, excellent usability, price / quality really convenient

Cons: Hood a little too "toy"

Opinion: I received this week and today, taking advantage of the beautiful day, I went to test it in the oasis of wildlife "Le Cornelle" near Bergamo. The impression I have reported it is great, very sharp images up to the limits Zoom, AF speed is very good, easy to use even freehand. Today I tested only free hand without using a tripod and the result is more than satisfactory.

Pros: zoom range, sharpness, acceptable weight and price.

Cons: Limiter 15m

Opinion: I took this goal in place of tamton 70-300, to join him in the canon 300 f4 is to have longer focal length without spending a capitale.rnLa yield is excellent across the range and up to 450mm is a blade as well as having a very AF performing, from 450mm up to 600 AF slows down a little and it becomes more difficult to maintain the subject in focus, especially if of small size and in very dynamic situation. (What, however, normal in these focal.) RnOttimo super zoom.rnAlberto.

Pros: Noise, stabilization, optical versatility.

Cons: For now I was unsuccessful, perhaps the selector limiter but just take my hand.

Opinion: Recently bought used with 2 years warranty RCE and I am fully satisfied, known to f8 / f11 has her why; the stabilizer works really well and you see the difference when you lever. Tropicalization for me for now it is not necessary, they are still a beginner as avifauna.rnIl selector limiting the septum based on where I want to photograph in my opinion could make a difference in some casi.rnA all focal sounds great, perhaps 600 loses slightly but sometimes with a little 'more light you can recover ... is obviously an opinion personale.rnIl hood is a bit' "subdued" over the whole body but I do not see a problem, I can it engages the first, I honestly do not understand what the problem is by reading other opinions; Perhaps matter of dexterity ... boh! rnrnIl my dream is still a Canon 500 also unregulated (500L f4.5) or something similar to be multiplied with 1.4, and possibly sooner or later I will take it. I make this argument because the pver often shot at 600mm, but I have yet to figure out if it's just a momentary whim or a "real need." They are two different planets fixed and have always fascinated me, the weight is not a problem.

Pros: lightweight, sharp enough, good stabilizer (I never use it), robust.

Cons: absence of tropicalization favoring any dust from entering.

Opinion: maximum sharpness at 600mm you have to f8. from 150 to 500 you can also use 7.1. without infamy and without praise it enables everyone to do without spending birdlife Cucuzza 10,000 for a 600 f4. Autofocus (very machine-dependent) sometimes hesitates but definitely okay. It tends to overexpose. I do not recommend the purchase of lack of weather sealing. spend a little bit more and take the new template or Sigma sport. if you take just invent something to keep out the dust.

Pros: optical affordable, excellent usability, more than good sharpness, effective stabilizer

Cons: useless limiter, some particle of dust of too

Opinion: And 'the second copy that purchase. I must say that the last series is different from the first. The stabilizer is improved and it seems that the metal parts are improved (the tripod mount is sverniciava in the first series). Compatibility with the canon 7d mkII is beautiful. Fast and accurate. It should be closed to f8 on 600 mm morbido.rnTrovo slightly because the quality / very high price. The weight (which is why I got a second one) allows a hand held (not all day ..) rnNon is faced with more efficient optics such as L fixed, but it is a goal to have if interested in the long focal .

Pros: Price / quality ratio, balance, performance, af speed stabilizer.

Cons: I would have preferred a more robust hood

Opinion: I was pleasantly pleased as weight, performance, ergonomics, stabilizer and noise. Bracket of practical size for both transport by hand (ergonomic grip) for use on tripod with gimbal. By equipping the reflex of a battery-grip the Refex + optical system becomes balanced. No problem of Front / back focus or dust entry. I use it with lens coat and no frontal protection lens (neutral uv) A quantum leap compared with superzoom cheaper and in my judgment the 500-600mm are always interesting to use in our area where, sometimes, the subject is not very close.

Pros: price-performance ratio - Quality of construction - Noise.

Cons: Hood "excessive" - ??Minimum distance of MAF.

Opinion: Tamron 150-600 are on the second, I was satisfied with the results obtained with the first, sold in a moment of "madness mirrorless" promptly returned ... Of this I can only talk about it even better, whereas in the meantime I got to use for about 6 months, II 100-400, definitely the top of the zoom at this time, but ... "laboratory" aside, really worth nearly triple the Tamron ...? As would the Manzoni, "posterity will judge!" Just arrived and mounted, having in fact already had a 150-600, it took a hit: half-pressing the shutter button, without even bringing the viewfinder eye, I did not feel it 'the hum of the MAF, it 'much less the ticking of the stabilizer ... I was now resigned to having to send back ends of the earth, because of your scruples than anything else, I tried to frame and miracle: the subject in sharp focus, red lED lights and image perfectly still! !! I controprova, off everything, reactivated, short, short, Tamron after one year must have changed more than anything in the mechanics because now, to hear the engine of maf in action, there must be absolute silence and stabilizer is much less invasive than usual, it seems that stabilize - as the 100-400 II based on 3 - the time of capture or very little before! A couple of days ago I got to try it for good, good light conditions though with slight haze, lake, birds and even here the impressions are still positive: up to 400mm, as sharpness, it seems to me is equivalent to "stuff" far more noble (and expensive ...), certainly the AF is not the lightning of 100-400 II, but with the 7DMkII in AI SERVO-houses and 1, once the subject hooked not lose, I got to take a couple of "bursts" between 400mm and 600mm in swans in flight, and the results are there for all to see in my gallery, very satisfying for me (with the 7D similar results could only dream of them ...). Dicevor "up to 400", but honestly even 600 is not bad at all and then, many 600 they get there ... not even to talk about what I do not like, tell you now that the hood is really excessive, almost embarrassing! Possible that they were really necessary and passes 20 cm ??? But apparently, in the house Tamron, the hood like the beautiful, long and tacky !!! Another unpleasant aspect, but only when compared to 100-400 II, MAF is the minimum distance that prevents me, once this lens attached, to do anything other than birds: in this, I miss the 95 cm minimum maf Canon 100-400 II that made it much more versatile, but ... that is what is written above and then, you can not have everything, this is born to "shoot away", and it does so well! In conclusion, I am extremely pleased with this honest lens that allows to have fun and take home great shots at a figure well below the quality of service (but this is the story of TaMRON ...), with 7DMkII to the maximum, but also with 6D I find it excellent.

Pros: cost, weight, optical quality, stabilizer

Cons: limiter making absurd to fire, the AF focal maximum, lens hood

Opinion: after nearly two years of use (acquired in March 2014) I try to draw conclusions. First used on 70D and now on 7DMarkII I never had so much infamous hesitation about AF, certainly the focal maximum is not a missile but within 500 mm is enjoyable. I use it mainly freehand, where the stabilizer can make itself truly appreciate: only "sin" must be deactivated with a short time, worth getting a few shots with a very bad blur [to speak the thing does not happen with the Canon 100-400 IS II]. Strictly always hanging backpack shoulder is a faithful companion even in mountain hikes for hours and hours, with even major differences in height. For the moment ... sgrat! sgrat! ... inside there is not a single speck of dust. I greatly appreciate the fact that even when in AF-continuous is automatically switched to MF by turning the focus ring, in certain situations it can be very convenient. In conclusion I would define it as good qualityup to 500 mm and very good to the minimum focal length. If I have to find fault I can think of 15 meters of the focus limiter (distance to me absurd, are too many), the small release ring and virtually impossible to operate with gloves and hood that seems extremely fragile. Ultimately I am very satisfied, so that I end up almost always leave with the excellent Canon 400 / 5,6 home.

Pros: relatively light, price, sharpness

Cons: It tends to fill up with dust, the assistance of Tamron

Opinion: Bought more than a year ago in a physical store, I immediately had problems autofocus, sometimes crashed, to solve the problem I had to turn off and on the camera body. Since succedeve rarely, I have not brought immediately to repair, but I contacted the shop telling him of the problem. Although I bought it with the guarantee that in case of failure, it would be replaced with a new one in the first two years, I am told that due to lack of fiber, would be repaired and not replaced. In January I decided to take it to the store, after a month of silence, contact them myself, I am told that my approach can not again on the agenda, and I replace it with a new one, saying that it is an exception because now fix them . Saw that again, I have evaluated more, I mistook a different perspective. Sorry for the lack of seriousness of the company. However for the rest it is an excellent lens with which I brought home some great pictures, too bad that after a year of useit is filled with dust.

Pros: 600 mm

Cons: Size, weight, little balanced.

Opinion: And it had sold for the following reason: too bulky and not very reactive autofocus than canon. Aesthetically pleasing; quality optical media which in my opinion is not, however, comparable to the canon 100-400. Compared to the latter, I think it is inferior in terms of performance that terms of quality, not to mention footprint. It 'a lens that you are faced with a fork; telling you I want a tripod and the hide; not suitable for those who still feel free to dare freehand and for long walks.

Pros: Quality / price ratio, sharp, relatively light, autofocus, stabilizer, blurred pleasant

Cons: Hood "plasticky" although grafted well .... lack of housing.

Opinion: I read a lot before deciding between 150-600c Sigma and Tamron 150-600. In the end I chose Tamron and I'm delighted. I read that to 600mm and 'soft and' partly true, but we are talking of a 150-600 to 950euro. It 's not fair to compare it to fixed lenses L-series Canon or Nikon, among other things cost much more' ... In the end even to 600mm with some PP solves everything ... or use F8 if possible. I use it with a Nikon D750 and go and that 'a marvel. Compared with the older 100-400 series The Canon I had with 6D and 7D I do not see any difference, but I believe it is best especially for blurred. The only really jarring and 'the lack of a rigid or semi-rigid bag included in prezzo.rnPer else advice ... if you do not want to spend many millions more' high.

Pros: quality / price ratio very good, light weight, 600 mm focal length, speed MAF thanks to the selector 15 meters, suitable bracket, stabilizer OK and quiet

Cons: a little 'soft TA, sharpness is not at the top to 600 mm (but for the price range is more than adequate)

Opinion: I bought this light used to a super price (800), that is, is great for beginners to make photo hunting and nature of Nikon D5100 and I have not encountered problems. also useful for astronomical photos (for now I only photographed the eclipse of the moon and the crescent of Venus). A few times during the shoot was as locked and the car was taking longer, turning off and on work again. Perhaps with higher performance machines that does not happen. If you shoot directly into the sun (eg. Sunset), remember to expose manually because the exposure is hard. Convenient selector MAF up to 15m and 15 m to infinity. At 600 mm, the sharpness is not greatest but PP can be reached acceptable results. It can be used freehand, but after a while '3 kg total feel and so it is best monopod. Attention to optics heating, that being black warms easily) under the sun! this summer in the mountains after leaving it in the sun it happened di have to wait a few minutes for you assestassero lenses (the images appeared split in detail), for this advice padded protections (most useful for thermal insulation for mimicry). I think it's a perspective that requires a steady hand, patience and ability to focus, in spite of the price it is not from beginners! I think the best super telephoto zoom economic commercially now!

Opinion: Coming from Canon 400mm F5.6 and switch to a zoom so, I was not very good, I do not know if the fault and my or my outfit but could not find the right balance I wanted, use the Canon 7D and I have to say that up to 500mm and more than acceptable files churning, supra exposes a lot, I noticed that anyway to be a zoom speed of maf and really fast, after two months I sold it and return to 400mm with a true quality superiore.rnUn pity that 600mm are comfortable but this way and unnecessary.

Opinion: All 'beginning I used the Canon 70D in place of 400Usm + Kenko 1.4x DGX 300PRO here c' I lost in reactivity of AF, but in quality of photos and versatility have earned us enough (as a percentage in shots taken). Then I moved to 5D MK III and the 'goal has improved markedly in sharpness from F / 6.3 onwards, AF a bit' faster and a higher percentage of picture in focus. I lost in the focal length, but with the Kenko 1.4x DGX 300PRO can not get more or less the same results of 'coupled Canon 70D and Tamron! Depending on the value-to-weight ratio give him a nice 10 (without distinction)!

Opinion: I use it for about two months with the D7000 but maybe I still have to figure it out. I hunt a car traveling in the Po Delta, me and my partner, we take most or all with the support of the window, but often the subject is out of focus, I know that 7000 is not a love affair with the FA, not to mention the backlight that is disastrous, the file is veiled and unmanageable, do not use filters and always mount the lens hood, the 300 f4 was better.

Opinion: I just bought for my Nikon D5200 and I started to make some shots, mostly by hand.

Opinion: I was among the first to purchase this light when no one knew anything about it. Satisfied with the results being a neophyte in birdlife, 600 mm were and are a dream to 1150 € (now 950 €). Good files baked under favorable light and excellent zoom to manage mm with APS-C. The only flaw the ASSISTANCE.

Pros: robust; 600 mm; well-built; value for money, sharpness.

Cons: Weight although normal, hood material not very good, no bag. AF a bit 'slow.

Opinion: All in all the first tests of optical quest I can say that it is an excellent lens for people who want to engage in bird life. The 600 mm are convenient in many situations and allow you to churn out excellent file. The only real problem is that the AF is a little 'slow even pairing it with the d800. If slow, is not less than the accuracy. The weight is felt in the long run for those not trained even if the grip of the collar of the optic allows easy transport. In conclusion, I can say I am very happy with the choice.

Pros: Focal length, value for money, quality optics

Cons: Not to tropical hood plasticky.

Opinion: Clear and obvious that having the ability to have a range of focal pushed so is already a positive note as with 1100 Euros you get a chance to go to 600mm and still maintain a satisfactory quality and sharpness. That said it is clear that the defects found leave the time they are giving way to positive notes. Not photographer birdlife why not resent particolarmete an AF clearly not comparable to the optical L-series and they definitely are a notch ahead. It has a super telephoto who maintains good size (though in a backpack space for him is located) and quality in terms of sharpness respectable. The weight is, of course, and the elements that make it so affordable there are: there is a specific bag and the hood, comparing the tonnage lens that transmits solidity, is really embarrassing for plasticosità.

Pros: Great sharpness, even over long distances. Price.

Cons: One drawback: the weight

Opinion: I am a photographer from the pack because I use this light abnormally: not to photograph the animals (for which it was conceived) but for the landscape. In the natural landscape to enhance the geometries, the succession and the crushing of the plans. In the urban landscape to seek views and cuts other than those that can be achieved with optical shorter. In both cases shows excellent sharpness, that is rarely found in optics of this type. Thanks to a great stabilizer, you can also use a free hand, but is uncomfortable because it is a perspective very heavy. Unfortunately supertele are heavy and the Tamron is no exception.

Pros: Range of focal lengths, weight, compactness, sharpness, af fast and accurate

Cons: A 600 mm is soft but nothing to worry

Opinion: After thinking about it a lot 'of time, last summer I decided to sell and buy the Tamron 100-400. With my 70D + 100-400 I have not found an exaggerated feeling, so I decided to change. Aside from the waiting time of purchase, I must say that the lens is very good, the feeling with my 70D I found it, although I must say that the shots are good with light "good", but that does not believe is a prerogative of this goal. rnLo stabilizer does its job but to get sharp shots even at 600mm are needed very short shutter speed, a tripod is more stable than recommended. The af is very fast, in my opinion even better than that of the 100-400, and works much better in the servo for moving shots.

Pros: versatility, portability, quality / price ratio

Cons: 600mm soft

Opinion: I bought this lens to tile the Nikon 300/4 afs with tc 1.4 on D7000 because often in my outputs stalking I was "short" for avifauna and "long" as the setting for chamois and deer. The quality of the fixed smooth is not comparable but when it needs versatility we encounter willingly to compromises which in this case are a little lower optical quality. Another reason for the purchase is the change in the short to full frame and 600mm are a good starting point. I have rarely, however, to shoot at 600mm because, even stopping down, I noticed that it is better to stay on the 550mm and to crop slightly to get a better result. The weight and dimensions are easily supplied so that the "hot" zones harbor SLR + lens hanging side by a strap attached to the base of the collar to which I added a plate with profile ark long enough to make it comfortable even challenge it. The stabilizer does its job although personally I use it infrequently, or because they are inaf-c or because they use the tripod / monopod. The optical qualities have been recognized by several authoritative sites and I are in agreement. In every opinion expressed evaluation relates to their way of photographing and those approaching my I can only recommend this lens.

Pros: Focal length. Sharpness, contrast, color, absence of aberrations, blur, stabilizer, autofocus, price.

Cons: Button the Focus Limiter uncomfortable. Bracket tripod uncomfortable for the transport

Opinion: The building, considering the low purchase price, it is excellent. The plastic is good, the rings are very smooth and precise, and there is also a rubber gasket at the bayonet catch. Even the front edge, in the vicinity of the thread filters is rubberised, allowing to lay it upside down without too many problems and without a hood. 'S is a bit too light and delicato.rnLa optical quality is amazing and has revived my old Nikon D300. Even at 600 mm, diaframmando f / 8, the quality is ottima.rnSu whole range of focal defects do not exist. Excellent sharpness, as well as the contrast. The colors are very pleasant, as well as the quality of the blur, soft and never nervous even in high luci.rnLo stabilizer is a real pleasure. I, who are not a sample of a steady hand, I took a 1/100 to 600mm with ease and consistency of results. The weight feels but the lens is still very balancedand quite comfortable to impugnare.rnPassando defects, the only ones worthy of note are, in my view, the cursor focus limiter, not always intuitive to use with an eye to the viewfinder and quite hard, and the bracket to the tripod that although being rigid enough is relatively short so that it does not allow easy transport by hand.

Pros: Good construction, good size and dimensions, stabilizer incredible

Cons: Autofocus is not so straightforward to understand ...

Opinion: An excellent lens for people like me who want to get to 1000 euro 600mm, I have not posted photos with the Tamron but I'm quite happy, the focus is not so quick, now I understand xchè c is the limit of focus 15 meters: the lens when used over 400mm without limiting the focus is sometimes slow to connect, but if the limiter is switched the focus is fast and hooks up with no problems, the stabilizer is great over the aspettative.rnVedremo using it if he deserves the votes that gave him or not ...

Pros: excellent construction, excellent price-performance ratio

Cons: the focus limiter to 15 meters is useless

Opinion: An optical failed, I also tried the Sigma 150-500, but this perspective and 'step 2 above, for my taste I find it too contrasty especially in blacks with favorable light, excellent construction, at first glance seem to see the 120-300 of sigma, very successful and very well integrated buttons AF lens hood plastic and 'maybe a little' delicate

Pros: Compact 600mm F6.3 ... real fast ... and sfruttabilissimi ... AF VR effective ... you shoot under the safety times. Price and features unrivaled. 5 years warranty

Cons: Plasticky keys and ecomomici as the lens hood. Unbalanced forward when all extended. Zoom ring but comfortable ride with very "long"

Opinion: Shortly + 1000 € x 600mm reach as ?? Tamron is unthinkable but failed. Ultrasonic motor fast VR that allows you to shoot handheld at 1/250 quality lenses treated with the "little people" of those cousins ??Nikon incredibile.rnÈ my first non-Nikon lens, x junta purchased new, solid construction and well-made, frets maybe cheap plasticky lens hood all made in china or Philippines, but no alternatives in the corresponding catalog Nikon. Highly recommended! 5 years warranty and super Amazon: booked and arrived around 1 month of waiting for the price + low. Very satisfied.

Pros: Excellent sharpness, very useful "flow", very nice color rendition. Autofocus good. Great balancing weights which makes it, in spite of the size in extension, ideal for handheld photography.

Cons: Af not extremely fast in the pictures in the air and with low-contrast backgrounds

Opinion: I bought it to replace the Sigma 50-500, against which shows a better balance of weight and sharpness in my opinion slightly higher. Difficult MAF in flight against low-contrast backgrounds. Tested with great satisfaction both with the Nikon D800 that with the Nikon D7100, with which, in the crop, you will reach a focal length of 35 mm eqv 1200 mm.rnMolto satisfied with the purchase, even considering the price still affordable for a photographer amateur.

Pros: I find it a very versatile lens, well built and with a very good performance with respect to sharpness and color, also if used properly allows the creation of landscapes and close up with the typical perspective of the long telephoto lenses.

Cons: I have not found, the value for money of this approach is its strong point and find him defect taking into account what you pay for it is difficult.

Opinion: I was looking for a long time (nikon) and when I had the chance to try it I had no doubts, the quality of construction is immediately seen, the weight is right and well distributed, is also used freehand and the quality of the images will not leave room for interpretation whatsoever. Then have a long focal length so it is not to be underestimated if we think of the fact that to have a focal length equivalent of mom nikon must make a mutuo.Un 'right optics, which is in its place, for fans like me that make photography a way nice to engage the free time without spending a fortuna.Un purchase that has fully met my expectations.

Pros: Accurate and fast autofocus. Exceptional sharpness, even at 600 mm. Close up on all the interesting focal maximum aperture.

Cons: AF not fast in tracking (to be expected, given the extension). Too bad even the slightest distance maf, too long. Do not weather sealed

Opinion: I just bought it and I trusted TAMRON. I have to say spectacular results: about 1000 € you bring home a respectable lens, high quality, radically different from previous models of the most highly evolved. The focus is immediate, even in low light. Do you suffer from low contrast backgrounds, but 600 mm or you have a nice detail to grasp or looking for the needle in the haystack ... rnDato that will be used in birds would be convenient treatment tropicalizzato.rnrnSoddisfattissimo.

Pros: Value for money, autofocus, stabilizer, EBAND lenses with refractive index coating to reduce flare and ghosting phenomena

Cons: Filter diameter 95 mm, focus limiter 15 meters useless, Package Contents: Lens hood and pouch without

Opinion: I recently purchased after advice from a friend and I was immediately impressed with the sharpness, obviously referring to lens I had. I did some tests and at constant focal length 500 mm with the sigma 150-500 and there is a gulf in terms of quality and sharpness. The stabilizer works very very well ... For now I am very happy with the purchase. It works very well matched to the Kenko Pro 300 DG 1.4 on nikon d3 are missing a wire speed of maf

Pros: Focal broad; AF fast (at least since the 300 F4 fixed): VC; sharpness; zoom lock to avoid that extends accidentally.

Cons: The stabilizer is dancing the image when focusing, but I have not noticed shake-; plastic construction, although quality '; thin plastic hood; blurred unpleasant; AF limiter that if not properly positioned MAF prevents a fast (but I think it's a matter of habit).

Opinion: Satisfied! I had the Nikon 300 F4 AFS which was also excellent with a knife and TC 1.4, but this Tamron performs very well and is' a 600. Used on D800 is giving me a lot of satisfaction. Only flaws: F5 opening that can 'slow focus in low light conditions, such as in forests or halls; fuzzy little creamy. For the rest, it has the advantage of being a zoom so you do not need to disassemble and reassemble with the ever-present risk, to embark powder and waste time and shots.

Pros: An optical ... more to be able to choose among the available poce

Cons: Everything and nothing

Opinion: In fact it is a 150-600 and 150-600 if you buy a 600 I want to use it. Between 500 and 600 is morbisoso and with the waning of the light a lot better raise the iso use the stabilizer. Autofocus interesting only on static subjects or in slow motion. I took about a thousand pictures with 6D and 7D. Quality of 'acceptable image from 150 to 400.

Pros: 600 mm, image quality to scream up to 400 mm, however superb up to 600, effective stabilizer, relationship quality / price ratio

Cons: AF does not really performing with some camera bodies, limiter almost useless

Opinion: I purchased the Tamron to replace the 400 5.6 which I used almost constantly with the multiplier mk III Canon 1.4. I've thought for a long time because the canon is a lens in and of itself was superb. However, I am convinced enticed by 600 mm. Used on 5D MK III have not been happy with the behavior of AF, at least in my early experiments in birdlife. In the circuit, actually did extremely well. 70d On the other hand I was amazed by the speed, accuracy and ease of engagement. That said, the picture quality is at times embarrassing as it is high, at least considering that it is a zoom lens with a wide focal length range. Do not make me regret for anything canon, indeed, I could not be happier.

Pros: Weight, hike focal, construction quality, detail, stabilizer.

Cons: Dynamic AF in photography (especially with some reflex), limiter.

Opinion: The Tamron is honest perspective, which is worth more than it costs ... It 'a lens that allows you to reach 600mm with just over 1000 euro and therefore represents an excellent first lens for those who want to bring to the photograph of nature. The Tamron is also an excellent companion for 500 and 600mm super telephoto as ... light, compact, with a minimum distance of focus of relief ... well alongside fixed lenses, perhaps on a second body macchina.rnIl limiter is almost useless in my opinion, and I found it very effective stabilizzatore.rnSicuramente a lens that, despite its obvious limitations, certainly recommend to the beginner as amateur evoluto.rnL'ho taken to replace the Canon 100-400 as a companion of my 600 f4 and I'm not absolutely pentito.rnAggiorno this review: one month after writing it, I was forced to sell the optics to monetize ...

Pros: Value for money very profitable, low weight, very effective stabilizer, good sharpness already at full aperture

Cons: Autofocus is not fast, a little 'dark in poor conditions, inadequate limiter for me.

Opinion: I use it mainly with Nikon D3s and D7100 and I am satisfied; in combination with the D800 shows some forgivable drop in performance to the maximum focal length, while remaining at levels more than discrete. E 'can be used conveniently by hand to capture birds in flight though to be effective and fast is better prefocheggiare.

Pros: Price, sharpness, AF reactivity under conditions of light and contrast optimal (even in AI Servo), the absolute absence of alternatives in price ranges nearby stabilizer.

Cons: I find it useless, or I got used to it, the limiter at 15 mt. rnMi missed some shots of birds passing within 15 meters. Despite the focal length, I would have preferred a rangerna from 8/10 meters and not more.

Opinion: Typically when you create a big expectation around something, you always end up being disappointed when they realized that qualcosarnsi.

Pros: Compact and easy to handle even at 600mm. The weight is manageable even freehand. Great stabilizer, no serious optical defect, even at full aperture. I highly recommend using "pump" because the zoom ring, with that weight, it is easy to maneuver, and still less is it that, as far back as the manual focus. Useful key that locks the minimum distance of 15m to the MAF. Great purchase, I highly recommend it. Price in line with the 100-400 L Canon. Very solid construction, plug bayonet hood. To have an alternative to 600mm, you have to go on a fixed focal length of Canon L, with prices more than € 10,000.

Cons: The AF 600mm sometimes you lose, especially with difficult lighting conditions and multiple fire plans. After a while 'freehand, weighs. The minimum focal length is still 150mm (240mm on aps-c), therefore not suitable as a target all-purpose, from this point of view better the more versatile 50-500 Sigma. In the box there was neither protective nor filter bag! Rn

Opinion: After trying it thoroughly, I must say I am very happy with our purchase. Sharp, great colors, the stabilizer helps a lot, especially at longer focal pressures, where the weight and the imbalance on the barrel, do not just shake your arms. And 'the only alternative compact 600mm cannons white Canon, which have rates reserved for professionals or enthusiasts who do not care to portafoglio.rnrnVivamente recommended, I gave it 9 out of 10 just for the glitches with the AF 600mm in particular condizioni.rn
