The Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens is a versatile and high-quality lens for wildlife and sports photography. It has a strong metal build, fast and accurate autofocus, and effective image stabilization. Its image quality is excellent, especially when used with a 1.4 times teleconverter. However, it is quite heavy and may not be the sharpest lens when zoomed all the way in on an APS-C camera.

The lens, with a cost of approximately a thousand pounds or twelve hundred US dollars, is quite heavy at 2 kilograms but is made with strong metal and feels fairly solid, providing excellent build quality. The lens features a fast and quiet autofocus motor that is accurate in its performance. The image stabilization feature of the lens is top-notch, managing to keep the image fairly still even at 600mm, and is a significant improvement over its predecessor. The lens also works effectively with Tamron's 1.4 times teleconverter, although the image quality may be slightly affected. When tested on different cameras, the lens delivered sharp images, with a slight drop in quality when used with the 1.4 times teleconverter. It exhibited minimal distortion and exhibited some flowering, but overall, it performed well. Despite some minor drawbacks, the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens stands out for its image quality, effective image stabilization, and professional build quality.
