After driving myself nuts with reviews of all the big zooms, this was on sale for $800.00. Talk about bang for your buck.. Very, very sharp, I think at all focal lengths. Great VR, some vr jump after the shot, but ok... easy to hand hold with the tripod collar on & it makes a great carry handle...

I just got this lens and was messing about in the yard. I was probably 40 feet from this leaf, at full extension. I'm pleased with the image quality. It's a heavy beast, though! Camera used was a Nikon D7200, 1/1250 second at f/8, 1600 ISO.

Pros:- reach light weight effective VC decent IQ price Cons:- Have to use f/8 to get decent sharpness at 600mm Not a replacement for 600mm f/4

I got this product around a year back for the price one pay when you compare it with Canon or Nikon its magnificent. It really does not work in low light but and its bit heavy when you have to wait for your subject.. I captured some great shot on with these lens and I am happy with it.

My first good impressions were its size and weight which are smaller than what I thought; it is good!! Put it on my Nikon D850 and took it out to a park; I like its sharpness and AF accuracy, again beyond my expectation. Only had it for two weeks and so far I am very impressed and happy.

I did quite a bit of research on this lens and competitors lenses in this price range, The Tamron 150-600 is very popular, and I can certainly see why. I consider myself to be an enthusiast level photographer.

This is a very good quality.lens., It is light weight for a 600mm telephoto, Auto focusing is fast, faster than I expected; This lens is very capable of producing sharp pictures; Great price for a lens with this kind of capability and quality.

This lens meets or exceeds my expectations; So I can't complain; No Cons!

great for nature photography.

Durable; Easily Interchangeable

I just made my first purchase from Ritz, a 150-600 Tamron Lens. It's a spectacular piece of equipment. It was competitively priced and was delivered in a matter of days. If you are thinking about making a purchase I say, "go ahead and do it."

Dollar for dollar this is a hard lens to beat. Good sharpness and contrast. One of the best lens purchases I've ever made. Really should be a lens any serious photographer should own, unless you can afford the big bucks on the Nikon or Canon glass. For the size of the lens its not too heavy.

Light weight for what it is; Fairly sharp; Good contrast; Zoom range

Can take multiple twists to reach focus when manually focusing

Wildlife and sports photographers immediately recognize the attractiveness of the telephoto zoom focal length range of this lens. Lenses that include 150mm in their focal length range are plentiful (and very useful), but no big brand name zoom lenses as of this review date include 600mm (other than...
