The editors liked
The sharpness of images taken at 600mm in difficult light is impressive. The focussing is fast enough to use it in tracking mode
At least on the Canon 5D MkII used for our test. Colour and contrast are very good. The image stabilisation works well enough
The editors didn't like
The long telescoping effect is the price you pay for a relatively inexpensive lens with exceptional reach

We took the lens out on the Canon, hunting for birds and footballers. The results are excellent. The resolution of individual feathers at 600mm exceeded any expectations that we had. This Tamron is another example of a third party lens that out-performs t...
The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD would rate recommendation on the basis of its price alone, all other factors being equal. Its closest competitor is Sigma's 150-500mm f/5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM, which has a similar AF drive mechanism and optical stabi...

If you aren't looking at the Sigma 150-600mm "C" in another tab right now, you probably should be: the lenses are very comparable, and are definitely competing for the same market. The Tamron is an exceptional lens for the price point, but its slow apertu...

Long telephoto reach. Optical stabilization. Strong center sharpness. Attractive price point. Zoom locking mechanism. Includes tripod collar and hood. Available for multiple systems.
Pincushion distortion throughout range. Focus can be a little slow. Some blurriness at edges unless stopped down
The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens covers a long zoom range and produces sharp results through most of the frame, but it isn't perfect...
By any measure, the Tamron 150-600/5-6.3 is a good lens and when you take the price of around $1070 into account I think it's clearly currently the best value in a telephoto zoom. At 600mm it's also 100mm longer than its nearest competitor, the Sigma 150-...

Abstract: The Tamron 150-600mm VR/IS is an inexpensive ultra telephoto zoom that works much better than I had expected.It's surprisingly sharp, doesn't have much distortion, it zooms very well across a large range, its VR (Nikon) and IS (Canon) system works very we...
