Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Full Frame Sony Mirrorless Camera

It's a very attractive telephoto zoom lens with sharp image when you get a good copy, it's lighter, cheaper and more compact than Sigma's 150-600mm. However, I prefer 100mm more reach of Sigma 150-600mm even it's heavier and a bit expensive.

As the title says, this lens is high quality at a fantastic price for what it offers. I've used this to take photos of the moon, the sun, and various pets/wildlife. Tracks VERY well for a 3rd party lens when connected to my Sony a7R V. Pros: Very sharp, generous focal range, compact due to external zooming, stabilization is extremely helpful zoomed all the way in, 82mm filter size, PRICE! Cons: f/6.7 at 500mm can get tricky when lighting conditions dim, quite heavy and the balance on a Sony camera with no battery grip is super front loaded, no teleconverter support or use, external zooms can build up dust and dirt inside the lens over time. If you're looking for a lens for wildlife or just a great telephoto zoom lens, this is easily a fantastic choice. I had a hard decision between this and the Sony 200-600mm lens, and I'm glad I went with the Tamron for the compact size/length over the fully extended internal zoom build of the Sony.

An outstanding lens. It is a little heavy to carry, but work good on a trip-pod. Pictures come out great!

While it's not the sharpest lens, it certainly gets you a new perspective from the 500mm range. I think that this lens is worth it at this price point. I'm sure that with a higher megapixel camera it would really prove worthy. I wish it had a lower f stop but the autofocus does work quite well. It's not too large but I still need something to help me stabilize it, pairs well with a monopod. I took this lens with me to yellowstone and the tetons. It held up on my hikes and wasn't too too heavy of an extra weight on my back. These photos are shot on my sony fx3 - I know it's not meant for photography but while shooting video, sometimes I like to walk away with a photo as well. When it comes to video, the image is okay. It's especially important to stabilize when fully extended while shooting video or you'll get some shakes and micro jitters. Will invest in an even longer lens for filming wildlife as I wasn't able to zoom in as much as I'd like to for most subjects.

Using with a Sony A6300&A6400. Has been a good experience. Unfortunately I need to get buff in order to handle this lens lol. A bit on the heavy side. Otherwise pretty sharp for my liking. Great build quality. Currently also using for astrophotography and has been pretty fun. Would highly recommend.

Amazing zoom range with sharp results. Autofocus is fast and reliable. Great lens for the price.

First want to address some of the negatives I see on reviews. 1- The weight, I really don't get it, the weight of the lens is available under the specs, so to complain about a known aspect is odd, it is actually lighter to most if not all, close alternative. 2- Dust, one of the 1-star reviews in Amazon, is about dust in a lens purchased in used in eBay, not sure how that makes sense. First thing I did was to inspect the lens for dust under bright LED, mine is pristine. Hopefully it will remain clean being is weather sealed. So not an issue. Focus is fast and precise, focus tracking is also excellent, hit rate is above my expectations. I will only mention, outside of what has been said in reviews here and other places, This lens is very unique, nothing compares when it comes to weight and size as it pertains to the range. Specially if you use APSC The value is excellent.

Great conditiom

العدسة ممتازة بالسعر الذي اخذتها به (وكان 3900 ريال ) العدسة حادة التفاصيل مع وزن مقبول وحلقة تثبيت قابلة للفصل، البعد 500 مم كافي جداً إذا كان الهدف في نطاق قريب .

Es un lente maravilloso, lo he usado en mi trabajo qué soy fotógrafo de Surf y se supera al sigma sin problema, buena estabilidad, buena construcción, buen funcionamiento, se siente sólido, es increíble, y ni hablar de la nitidez en los videos, (por que hago más video que foto) tanto el autofoco así como el video, son increíbles. de mis mejores compras.

A great, easy to use, quality telephoto. I love it.

It does exactly what you need. At a price point that you’ll soon become ok with once you see the quality of the shots you get. Great for sporting events, and when your further than you’d like to be. All around a great lens. I do find it a tad heavy but that’s nothing a mono pod can’t help with! Would buy again if I needed too!
