Tamron 150-600mm F5-6.3 ultra-telephoto zoom

[PhotoTime]

Just curious, is Tamron providing international warranty or local warranty for the lens?

 

[SNAPDINER]

The lens should be out anytime now. Heard it would cost $1700. Hope dealers package it with a good 95mm filter...everyone is free to dream, right? Hehehe

International warranty is one year only IIRC. Local Tamron set is 5 years warranty.

Wondering if this will be in time for the Singapore airshow?

Sounds good throw in camouflage coat to sweeten the deal further. Haha.

Plus a decent case for it? Like the 300f2.8 one can already.

Is it much bigger or longer than the Sigma 150-500mm lens. My Sigma fit just nice with no room to spare in my dry cabi.

I use it once so far, it's a solid lens, focus ring is smooth but zoom ring is a little tight but I believe should loosen up with time. There's a lock to hold it in the retracted position. IQ wise I think is pretty satisfactory, I don't know how to review lenses, just some comments from a casual hobbyist I never thought I would own a lens with a reach of 600mm as primes or zooms of such focal lengths are way too expensive for working stiffs like me haha but thanks to Tamron many similar enthusiast would be able to have such a super telephoto lens in their "arsenal"

if I may share a shot:
