Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC USD Review

76

The Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC USD is a great value super telephoto lens that is built nicely for the price. It is sharp and works well with full frame cameras, although it may not perform as well with APS-C cameras.

The 600mm zoom range is a headline feature and can be great for wildlife photography. The lens is equipped with image stabilization that works well and silently, allowing for smoother video and sharper pictures.

Pros
  • Sharp image quality
  • Great value for the price
  • Good build quality and construction
Cons
  • May not perform as well with APS-C cameras
  • Soft images on smaller camera sensors

The build quality, while not exceptional, is decent with its solid construction and weather sealing on the rear element. The lens is sharp and provides good image quality, especially on full frame cameras.
