Actually I was researching to buy this lens online or not before i got it from SLRR. I noticed the price is higher due to lack of stock globally. Some sites like digitalrev still puts it as pre-order or higher price. Note that I'm noticing a price diff between Nikon mount and Canon mount. Nikon mount stock finally appeared in greater quantity this month.

Canon mount is around $15xx if im not wrong.
Price will drop eventually, and technogadget should be couple of hundreds lower than retail.

Not out yet meh? Thought alfie bro using one?
Its already out for awhile. I saw TK has stock last weekend.
You mean crop from 36MP full frame output ? Yes, there's good sharpness on the D810 and the 150-600mm.. it can almost behave like a 1200mm actually for day shots. (That dragonfly is cropped to around that ? I havent done the maths.. lol)
I had wanted to get a D7100 (one of my favourite aps-c dslrs) to get the crop factor, but i did the maths and realise the D810 can do all that and lot better noise handling (and 1/8000 shots)
i asked ytd but oos lei, later i go try again
sony A-mount only hit the shelves maybe end of the year. you just gave me an idea to try it wide open on the a7/r (but need to MF and no VC)
Oic. Sorry. Am new to Tamron.
Will be great if u can share the results of your analysis?

Cannot focus on LAEA4? Anyone has any idea if the A mount has VC? Newer sigma A mount lenses retain their OS making it feasible to use adapted on the E mount systems...

Thanks for the note. That's a bummer then. Looks like A7 users who wants to do birding need to reconsider their options...

bro, i had the canon mount and cheapo EF-Nex adapter... haha...
like other bro mentioned, no VC for A-mount
quite impressed with the VC, allowing me to nail shots at 600mm, 1/125s with elbow on table.this lens is sharp up to 550mm. at 600mm, f6.3, it will be slightly soft but very useable still (for birding). havent tried it for sports though...
no prob to AF on A-mount or LAEA-4.
