I was concerned about this lens from some of the negative reviews, but after using it heavily over the past month, I have nothing but praise for it. This lens is sharp. Tack sharp. Ridiculously sharp. Its focus plane at 600mm, even at f/8, is razor thin, so any front/back focusing will make shots unusable. Verify that your copy is good with a test strip before heading to the field to avoid frustration. Mine was fine out of the box, and the crazy fast AF finds focus instantly to boot. When using the focus limiters it's even faster. It's less of a journey to focus as the motor turns, like on my Nikkor AF-S G 50mm, and more of only a slight delay before "you have arrived at focus." This is shooting on a Nikon D750, which has a good, but not the best, AF system. I find the manual focus ring essentially unusable because the throw distance is so short, but I'm not sure why you'd need it on a lens with AF this effective. Chromatic aberration is essentially zero, and is the least of any lens I own, even wide open. I've forgotten about Lightroom's CR removal tool at this point. OS is amazing. I usually leave it in mode 1, but occasionally find modes 2/3 useful. If I get in a stable position I can easily shoot at 1/100 and below at 600mm, which is extremely handy when I don't want to setup my tripod. The only thing I wish this lens had/did is accept small rear filters. I haven't even tried putting filters on the front because they'd be so expensive and hard to carry around. I already have to deal with 150mm square filters for my 15-30mm, and that's about all I'm willing to put up with in a single backpack. Being able to use little 52mm circular polarizers or the like would be really nice, but truthfully I don't find myself wanting filters very often when using this lens. The enormous lens hood pulls double duty keeping dust and debris off the objective, and it's easy enough to clean with good lens wipes. The tripod collar is well-designed and just works. It's unremarkable in its functionality in that it does what it's supposed to. I can't believe this lens goes for as cheap as it does, even at full retail. If you get a good copy, you'll have no regrets. If you get a bad copy, that's why you buy from Amazon.

I've always craved longer reach for my photography, but the pricing was always out of reach. Even used prices were too high to justify. I am a hobbyist, so dropping even $1000 for a used lens was just unreasonable. Then Amazon began offering a free 5 month payment plan on specific items and this one fell into the program while it was on sale. Now, I wouldn't just buy it because of the deal. If the lens performed poorly, it will still be a high price to pay. I research this lens extensively and, although the reviews were somewhat mixed, the lens received enough positive praise to go for it. I have not been disappointed at all. If fact, even on my old Nikon D7100 and D3200, the lens has exceeded my expectations (and probably my ability!!). I use this lens hand held exclusively and find it's size and weight reasonable considering the reach. The image stabilization works magically, even at lower shutter speeds. The auto focus can get confused at times, but I attribute this to the older cameras I'm using and my own inexperience with lenses of this length. When focus is locked on, it's very sharp. And the manual focus override is super easy to use. I find I can use the tripod collar to hold the lens and still use the zoom and/or the manual focus ring while staying on the subject. The lens feels very well made and thought out. This lens has renewed my love of bird photography and I'm looking forward to doing other types of photography with it.

I dropped my Sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens while on a birding vacation when my camera strap broke. When searching for a replacement, theTamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (I'll just call it the G2 from here on) jumped out as the best choice in this class. The original Tamron 150-600 and the Sigma Contemporary are similar and I loved my Sigma. Looking at the alternatives, the Sigma Sport version is both heavier and more robust, but is also double the price of the contemporary. The Sigma 60-600 is compelling for its range, but it is 50% heavier, too and also expensive. The Tamron G2 is the "Goldilocks" lens in this group because it is only a couple of ounces heavier than the original Tamron and Sigma lenses but offers dust and water sealing they don't. It's also compatible with Tamron's Tap-In console that allows you to tune the lens in useful ways. Sigma's lenses are also compatible with their dock, and Sigma's does offer some different features, but the ability to tune the Tamron at 18 different focal length/focus distances is most compelling. I bought a Tamron G2 from this Amazon listing. There were several sellers at the time on this listing, all offering the lens for the exact same price. So I chose the one closest to me geographically as I was still on vacation birding and wanted it as fast as possible. After using it for a few days, I noticed that the autofocus was very inconsistent. Hey, it happens. I did try to tune the lens with Reikan FoCal once I returned home from the trip, but the issues seemed to be with the autofocus itself. I wrote Tamron and asked for suggestions. The reply I got was surprising. Nowhere in the Amazon listing was anything mentioned about the lens being an import/gray market lens. But, sure enough, Tamron informed me that the lens I bought was an import/gray market lens and would, therefore, not be covered under warranty and would not be repairable by them. I liked the lens, especially the aforementioned sealing and tuneability, the Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount, and, especially, the flex lock on the zoom. After starting the return to Amazon, I wrote the other sellers for this listing, all still offering the lens at the same price, and found that it is a mix of authorized and unauthorized sellers selling either Gray market/Import lenses OR US versions. There is no point in mentioning the sellers by name as they could have changed by the time you read this, but if you are considering this lens or any other, suggest emailing the seller ahead of purchasing to ensure that you are getting a US market product. If you do order one, the thing to look for is the Tamron hologram on the top of the box. If it's missing, you have likely purchased a gray market lens. Doesn't mean it won't work, but Tamron-USA won't touch it if you need it serviced. Aside from the issues noted, the G2 is an excellent lens. The features it offers over the original Sigma and Tamron 150-600's are well worth the extra money while it offers most of what the Sigma Sport does at a much lower price.

I've been using this for bird photography off-and-on since August 2021. Mostly with a Nikon D850. (Other lenses used: Nikon 200-500; Sigma 150-600; Nikon 500 f5.6 PF.) At first I was concerned about the sharpness, but now, having gotten used to it, I like it a lot as relating to color, sharpness, and overall image quality, with a couple caveats. Weight, ease of use, features, etc. are normal/good for a lens of this range/price. Not lightweight, but works just fine for carrying in the field and using handheld over extended periods of time. Capable of taking very sharp pictures at 600mm. Just be careful re. your focus mode, and pay attention in the view finder to verify that where you want to focus is actually in focus. My one concern is that the autofocus of this lens is not as fast as some of the Nikon lenses. With nature photography, the field of view can be complex - different levels of tree branches at different depths, birds in the close foreground or far background, etc. Going from one extreme to another, + camera focus hunting, can take longer than ideal = missed shots. (Comparatively, the Nikon 500mm PF/f5.6 is noticeably faster.) That being said, I still like using this lens because when things are in focus, it seems as or slightly more consistently sharp, plus the extra 100mm reach. (To be clear, for straightforward subjects, this lens focuses very quickly. What seems to be the less than ideal timing is when the camera is focus hunting, or you need to go from one extreme to the other, or focus on very long distance objects against the sky, like flying birds.)

This is a great lens. I use this for my nature shots of wildlife where you don’t want to get too close. You still get a great shot since it has anti- shake which helps since the lens is a bit on the heavy side. Has autofocus that I find helpful, overall I would recommend this lens to anyone wanting good close ups at a distance.

I have the Nikon 200-500, but got this to replace it. I don't use the 200-500 nearly enough due to its weight and bulkiness. My choice was to go 500 f/4 (probably used or the Sigma) or this 150-600. What I decided to do is go 150-600 for day and 70-200 f/2.8e (with 1.4x or 1.7x) in morning or evening. I wouldn't carry both at the same time. This puts me at 6.5 lb or 5.8 lb, respectively, with a d500 and a TC or two. I'd be around 9 lb with the Sigma 500/4. If weight wasn't an issue for me, i'd go 500/4. The 300 f/4 + 1.4 tc is another reasonable option, especially at only 3.8 lb w/ camera, but I wanted to be able to go longer than than 420mm. The 200-500 is great with constant f/5.6, but it is too bulky and too heavy for the type of hiking and shooting I want to do. Also, the lens hood on the 200-500 does not attach securely and it's dropped on the trail a few times if it brushes against stuff. I cannot use a soft hood cap, the hood comes off when I try to put the hood on. This 150-600 has, for me, these advantages: (1) it's noticeably lighter and less bulky, (2) 600, (3) the lens hood is well attached. It takes, I think, about equal quality photos under appropriate conditions. The f/6.3 at the long end is ok in good light (d500), especially in the center. If the light is less good, I have to use the center focus point. Sometimes I have to focus a little, center the focus point, then bring it in to focus otherwise it hunts. I have tried it with the Kenko TC 1.4x and it works well. It will be f/8, so only center focus point and good light. I've gotten a few shots at 840mm that even look good at 100% crop (it was a windy day with only a monopod) at 1/1000.

Very nice but too heavy for me to carry around and / or use without a tripod. I wish it was a little bit lighter. Nice lens for the price though.

This is a very nice telephoto lens. It’s a little heavy but so is the Z8 it’s mounted to. It’s a little lighter on my D7500, but not much. A lot of reviews go into a dizzying amount of technical detail in reviewing lenses. I simply don’t know and don’t want to know that much about all of my lenses. And I’m not going to compare this lens to any other lens. I’ll simply say that it is a nice sharp lens with photos taken at both 150mm and 160mm that are perfectly acceptable to me for both online posting and printing. First photo is 150mm. Second photo is 600mm. Third photo is 400mm.
