Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens

 

For those interested in the latest Tamron Super Telelphoto lens the price is out. Looking forward to seeing how it performs. At this price might be worth getting one a as a back up to my Sigma 50-500!

I hope not... LOL... seriously hopefully it is (though last thing I need is an excuse to buy another super telephoto lens). Looking forward to reading the reviews as they come out.

Interested in this lens also. I have not seen any reviews with a Nikon yet. Here is one from Matt Granger:

Like the lens, too.

Here is another taken with that lens (others from the same series have been posted in the weekly wildlife challenge)

Congrats on getting one, Jerry.  I sure would like to have one of these, but I can't justify the expense right now.

Been waiting on stock arriving in the UK since April (for my Canon 6D rather than my Nikon D610)! Still can't find any stock and don't want to "pre-order" from WEX as this will tie up capital on the credit card with no idea when I will actually receive it.

What I've seen this lens do on a Canon impresses me. If I ever wanted a lens this long I'm sure this would be high on my list to consider.

This is a great 'value for money' lens, the reach of 600mm is great for wildlife photographers on a budget and the IQ is really very good.

Had mine for a few months now and have been very pleased with quality, weight and convenience.

Thanks Greenwing,  I was going to order it yesterday but got side-tracked. Will order tonight when home from work.....

 

On another note, where in West Yorkshire are you? I am from Central Scotland, but my other half's parents are from West Yorkshire and we visit often - the Canon is her camera and it is her who wants the Tamron, although i will obviously get to play with it :-)

Ross, note that when I posted Amazon themselves had some stock. Now they're showing November 3rd, but other Amazon sellers have some. I know that when I bought the OH's D3200 and Tamron 18-270 the manufacturers would not give cashback on Amazon purchases from 'Amazon Marketplace' sellers, so it might be an idea to check warranty terms etc. before buying from other sellers through Amazon.
