Whats the best price so far?
Tamron 150-600mm F5-6.3 ultra-telephoto zoom
- Thread starter Fable
- Start date
I'm quite impressed with the VR on this lens. I have shaky hands problem (too much caffeine), but the VR still enabled me to shoot relatively ok photos handheld at 500-600mm with shutter speed of as low as 1/200. Similar attempts to shoot handheld with the Tamron 70-300 VR yielded fairly unusable shots.

new and limited supply ... so must sell more ex...
After having tried this lens over 3 weekends, I find that it's feasible to handhold this lens for my own use - 2 to 3 hour sessions at parks or wooded areas hunting for birds. This is especially so at parks, as there are usually railings or pillars I can sometime use to brace myself to help stability. There's also time to rest your arms while walking from point to point looking for birds to shoot. I'm no muscleman (I'm actually a fat man!), and I really hardly do exercise, so for those of you concerned about the weight of this lens for casual use similar to mine, it's really not that heavy!
I'm still saving up for a good tripod investment, as I think it will be essential to get better shots, but this allows me to save up longer to get a really good tripod when I can afford it since I'm still able to continue shooting handheld in the meantime while saving up!
Got it from Tk@1650 today ;p

Hi to bros interested in this lens,
Last thur I took my gal on stage with this lens at f5,150mm handheld.
Im just a hobbyist.
I was quite satisfied with the sharpness that it delivers.
Not very heavy holding at eye level.
Cheers.

The brand new 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 DI II VC PZD both Canon and Nikon will be available from 28th Apr 2014 Onwards!!!!! Also, new stocks of 150-600mm F/5-6.3 DI VC USD will be available on the same day for both Nikon and Canon mount. Please visit our dealers for more details.
I myself already bought the Canon version. Not as near quick in AF as the Canon 70-200 F2.8 Mk2 but about just as sharp. The VC works well but a little noisy. Hardly use at 600mm for pics of soccer action but I guess for watersports as in yachting, skiing and as well as birding, it will be great
