Pros: focal length, the cheapest way to achieve 600mm. sharpness, stop down to f7.1 or f8 for best results. AF. comparative size/weight. price.
Cons: not as sharp as the primes. focus ring turns opposite way to canon and ergonomics not as good as canon tele zooms. Size weight, heavy lens.
Opinion: I really like using this lens, not perfect but very very good. Best IQ on full frame or 1.3 crop. APSC still good. I think I may have got a good copy as I understand some others have focus sharpness problems. Not as good as my canon 100-400 ll lens but very hard to tell the difference. Build quality very good. heavy lens but manageable with a strap to take the weight. arch swiss tripod foot as standard. I previously owned the sigma contemporary which I sold as had issues with sharpness and focusing. The lens is relatively heavy but still able to carry around for hours easier than a prime, therefore the better option as will use more often. Ability to blur the backgrounds at F8 given the right circumstances, very pleasing results. No hesitation in using this lens instead of my 100-400. I recommend this lens.

Cons:Weight. Poor quality at longer lengths (500/600). Not perfect focus
Opinion:I've been using this lens for 4 months. Purchased used by RCE Foto. I use it with Nikon Z50 and adapter ring to have a 900 mm focal length available. I took freehand photos from a boat at the eruption of Stromboli in May and I was able to see a remarkable stabilization, despite the movement of the boat caused by the sea. I took freehand photos of birds of prey in flight and I noticed many blurred photos (not blurred because I used very fast shutter speeds 1/2,000-1/4,000). The quality of the photos is not that great at the maximum lengths (for which I bought the lens), despite the fact that it never exceeded 12,800 iso (native for the F50) with frames shot mostly at 3,200 iso. I always used position 3 of the stabilizer. Certainly the result was better if compared to the photos taken with the P1000 at 1,600 iso (beyond this level the photos of the P1000 are unwatchable), but keep in mind that with the P1000 I used double focal lengths (around 2,000 mm) and the camera is much less heavy (less than 1.5Kg against the almost 3 Kg of the Zoom/Z50/Adapter system)
Cons:Brightness and sharpness loss over long distances.
Opinion:Good price/performance compromise. Not really a walking lens but considering the characteristics it is easily usable even freehand. Wide focal range and excellent minimum distance (2.2 m. on all focal lengths). Well stabilized with 3 positions: 1 panorama, 2 panning, 3 random movs. Location 3 great for flying birdlife. Fast autofocus. Brightness is not its strong point, given the price and everything else for me it is a great buy. In medium distances good resolution, towards infinity it loses some sharpness (not due to focus). Used with Nikon D500 excellent matching.
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!
Opinion:In a nutshell great for quality price If you travel a lot for photo hunting and you want a cheaper optics and also stay lighter is fine. Very Good to make some landscape at 150mm. It is not heavy there are optics much heavier than this 150-600mm. A little soft at full aperture especially at 600mm, closing between F7.1 and F10 is perfect, from F13 upwards it loses quality especially at the edges. Above 550mm it loses in terms of sharpness better not to go up to 600 if you are not really forced.
