Pros: Autofocus: Silent, fast and accurate. Fantastic Range. Close up capabilities. Build quality. Very good IQ.

Cons: The tripod collar isn’t included.

Opinion: I’m also using the Tamron 50–400 on the Z5II (I had it on my Z6II before) and I’m really happy with it. Even after long handheld sessions it doesn’t feel tiring at all, the autofocus is fast and silent, the macro feature (1:2 at 50–70mm and 1:4 at 400mm) is a big plus, and the zoom range is fantastic. The image stabilization isn’t quite as good as on a Nikon Z lens, but it still does the job. One negative is that the tripod collar isn’t included and needs to be bought separately.

Pros: I agree for versatility, handling, sharpness and price.

Cons: The stirrup, damn it, the stirrup hahaha

Opinion: What can I say it is a lens that at the first shots, convinced me, and I will tell you that I replaced it with the nikon 28-400 F4-8 . I use it on the Nikon Z6iii and Z7II and the results are in my opinion superior to the Nikon, and not only in my opinion. It's not too heavy, we're about a little more than !kg, it's very sharp over the entire frame, it handles well, even if the collar would have been useful and I'll take care of it, what is striking is its sharpness that combined with a decent autofocus if not good if used on the Z6III gives me excellent results especially in landscape photos. In this regard, I had thought of the Nikon 100-400, which is certainly more performing, but at more than double, therefore, good Tamron.

Pros: versatility, sharpness, price

Cons: AF can be improved, tripod bracket not included

Opinion: Lens bought for just over 1000€ new, used with Sony A7RIII A, I needed an "all-rounder" lens for events such as regattas and sports where it happens to be close and far from the subject in a short time and it is not possible to change lenses. I have used it both in sports boats, cars and racers and it has always responded well, AF not very fast, but valid. During the day no problem that makes you regret the purchase, with low light it slows down a little, but you take the picture. Thanks to this lens I was able to take shots that otherwise I would have lost, in my gallery you can see a runner who rejoices at the finish made at 50mm, with a 150-600 or 70-200 I would have lost it. For those who don't need to do things "in a hurry" I would recommend something brighter, if you need practicality either this or the sigma 60-600 which however costs more than twice as much and weighs much more. Excellent sharpness, obviously it is not a Sigma Art or a GM but for the price I would say even too much. To consider the purchase of the tripod bracket separately, I no longer found the original one and I took a compatible one just to balance it freehand, on the tripod I use it little. VOTE 9

Pros: Sharpness wide open, size, overall rendering

Cons: AF speed

Opinion: The stirrup is not necessary for me and I find it the right compromise for those undemanding walks (max 1-2 hours) where you want to take something "longer" with you if ever needed. In any case, in the famous site I took the bracket for 35 € because 150 € for the original seemed to me a moment thrown away (but why don't I use it). The focus is not lightning fast, it's true, but with the A7C II and the tracking with bird recognition it surprised me in a positive way making me take home over 70% of shots in focus but perhaps the credit goes to Sony rather than Tamron. In any case, I liked the lens immediately for its performance and it also lends itself very well to portraits, producing interesting and not very artificial blurs. I've had the 100-400 on Nikon in the past but as a lens it had nothing to do with this one in terms of responsiveness but mostly in terms of performance. Well done Tamron.

Pros: Great Price, Scary Sharpness, Versatility, Low Weight and Size

Cons: The ring and the bracket to balance it on the tripod is purchased separately, the focus could improve

Opinion: I looked at this lens immediately as soon as it came out, so I call Sergio from Fotoema to try it immediately and be able to recommend it to all landscape photographers. Tamron as always respects the promises and our expectations. The lens has a very low cost if we think that a similar lens costs twice as much. This telephoto is slightly smaller than the Sony 100-400, it is sharp to die for at all focal lengths, even at 400mm. The ring unfortunately is not included and you have to buy it separately, there is original and also secondary brands but I recommend the original Tamron to have good stability on tripods. Using it a little I noticed with great amazement that even if it is a canvas and even on distant lights pulls to make the stars around the lights of the street lamps, this was a nice surprise, because the canvases generally do not define a large star around the lights. The focus works, it is responsive and quite precise, but compared to the sony it is the only thing I found worse, let's say that on the Tamron 50-400 in addition to being slightly slower it is a little more difficult to hook, but we talk about landscape and in night situations far from easy to deal with. The tropicalization like all Tamrons I think is good enough but I do not have and will not have the opportunity to try it as the lens is in my hands only temporarily. A purchase that I recommend to all those who do not want to spend 2600 euros for the sony 100-400 and also to all those who want to avoid buying in addition to the telephoto also a fixed 85, because with the Tamron 50-400 you are covered up to 50mm!!!
