Excellent image stabilization, great value for the price, weathersealed
Some visible barrel distortion and chromatic aberration
The most direct competitor to this lens is Sigma's 150-600mm f/5-6.3, which is offered in a Contemporary option for a less-expensive $1,000 or a weather-sealed Sport variant, which is pricier than the Tamron at $1,999. The Tamron lens is significantly lig...

Strong sharpness through most of range, Excellent stabilization system, Quick autofocus, Lockable zoom mechanism, Rotating tripod collar, Integrated Arca-Swiss foot, Weather-sealed design, Available for Canon, Nikon, and Sony SLRs
Weak edge performance at wide and telephoto extremes, Teleconverter use limits autofocus operation
The Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens has some edge sharpness issues, but is an overall solid performer, especially when paired with an APS-C SLR...

Tamron has done much more than just a casual update of this lens, having totally redesigned the exterior, added improved weather sealing and a new quick-locking mechanism to maintain a set focal length, and even included a built-in Arca-Swiss compatible l...

Very good quality over 36Mp full-frame sensor, even wide open, Good image stabilization, Works well with 1.4x teleconverter, Weather sealing, Quiet, fast, and precise AF operation, Maximum magnification of 1:3.5 in MF

Although significantly more expensive than the original model, like its predecessor, the second-generation Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 is superior to its predecessor in optical performance and has better stabilisation. It represents very good...
