Great Piece of Glass!

It doesn't get much better. The G2 is a fantastic piece of glass. I have, so far, shot a stage show and wildlife with nary a problem. For the price I'm going to give this two thumbs up. Image also 2 thumbs up. I was expecting some fall off at the edges at 600 mm but my eye can't detect it and nothing shows in the blow ups so if its there it is so minor I'm not going to worry about it. I shoot with a Canon 5D M4, Canon 70D and use 10-22mm, 18-135mm, 28-135mm, 70-200 f2.8, and now the 150-600. If you are interested in this piece of glass my recommendation is get it - you won't be sorry.Read full review...

Tamron 150-600 G2

Extremely sharp compared to first gen lens. Barrel lock at any focal length is a great feature. Need to lock it at 475mm? Go for it! Three VC modes with excellent stabilization. Well designed, solid construction with six year warranty. Tap console included at no extra charge made this an even more attractive offer.Read full review...

Great Purchase

this lens has lived up to the many reviews I have read. while we all want the 500 and 600 from canon, they are very big and expensive. I have used the zoom feature of this lens although normally I am all the way out at 600. its a great value. I have used a duffle bag lined with towels while connected to a 7D for storage and transport. I also got the lens wrap as its out in the car a lot for protection. The zoom feels snug and I will likely call Tamron and check with them after an upcoming bird vacation.Read full review...

Best of all compromises

my Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens meets all expectations. the lens behaves as specified. test shots indoors, using tripod and mirror lockup, still required a minimum shutter speed to get sharp pictures at the long end; to achieve proper exposure with these slow apertures requires a higher ISO/low noise (good low light) camera.
I cannot comment on the Tap-in console, as I have not performed any focus testing yet to determine if lens corrections are necessary.Read full review...

Great lens

Great build quality of this lens. Like how you can lock it in any zoom position. On a crop sensor camera you really reach out and touch the animals you're shooting. Very sharp images. It is a big bulky lens don't get me wrong, but if you're looking for this type of focal length lens this is something you accept. I am not disappointed.Read full review...

Well built and long reach

Lens is a strong performer and gives me the focal length to take bird and wildlife images. Images are a little soft at 600mm, but I haven't dialed in the focus adjustments with the TAP dock, which I ordered and will arrive in couple of days. That should make a big difference.Read full review...

Sharp and well made, great value

Optically and mechanical handling, controls all are awesome. Great value. Weight(70 oz) and overall length at 600mm a bit more than some may not be comfortable with. A faster aperture would be nice but overall is a real deal.Read full review...

Great for fast moving subjects

I take photos of NFL football games and Bald Eagles and its plenty fast to catch up with them and get tack sharp photos. Great length at 600mm and is not as heavy as other models but a tripod is preferred. For the money its hard to beat. I bought it over the Tamron 150 - 600mm zoom lens.Read full review...

Tamron G2 150-600mm a great value and high quality

I have always only bought Canon lenses so was hesitatant about Tamron but could not afford to pay the $$$$ for a Canon in the 150-600mm range. The G2 150-600 lens has not disappointed. It is sharp and fast. I love the image stabilization. I have been able to take hand held shots at 1/15 and 1/30 sec at 600mm with sharp results. Read full review...

An extraordinary lens at an extraordinary price.

I rented the Tamron G2 before buying it. I take handheld pictures only of wildlife and landscapes. My goal was to determine if I could lug these behemoths for eight hours around places like zoos and wildlife refuges. I could. No problem.

The pictures are extraordinarily sharp throughout the range, and cropping 6000x4000px pictures provides me with the closeups that I have been wanting for so long.

The zoom ring rotates left to right, 150 to 600, which is a more natural and comfortable rotation (as opposed to the Sigma competition).
