Amazing lens for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, this is an amazing lens. As other reviewers have noted, it is a little "soft" at >500mm. One would do better to zoom and crop a 500mm than to use 600mm. You must use tripod or brace on something sturdy. Use the highest shutterspeed possible...this lens magnifies camera motion as well! The lens is heavy...and that's with a lot of plastic components. I carry my camera (Canon T3i) with lens mounted in a backpack, along with tripod...pull out to do nature photography and store again...too heavy to carry a long time (though often I do). This lens will provide you with "identifiable" images at distance. The bald eagle nest is over a half mile (1km away) and eye-watering "calendar" photography if close. The sanderling was 25 feet (7.6m) away. If you can afford prime lenses...they're much better. But this zoom, for the price, is amazing.

Great Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm always looking to get the shot. So before my trip to Maine I wanted to get a long lens to put on my second camera. (I always carry 2 both with different lenses) The 95 mm. optics are larger than the filters I own and all I could find in town (day before I left) was a cheap really cheap polarizer.($50) It helped cut through the early morning fog, but it would keep the picture from being tack sharp. Bottom line great lens if you use filters buy the good ones. At full length 600 mm you should use a tripod. This is a heavy lens it can be hard to hand hold shots

Big, heavy, and well worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens completes my "collection" of Tamron lenses. In addition to a good wide angle lens (10-24), a everyday carry lens (18-200), I now have a long range telephoto to bring things up-close and personal. The lens is about a foot long and weighs about 4lbs, so dont think you are going to wear this lens on a strap around your neck. It comes with a ring that you mount to a tripod, that also doubles as a carry handle. The optics are great. The lens is clean and sharp through the full focal length with no flare. If you like wildlife photography, you will like this lens. With the built in optical stabilization, it will help overcome some of the lens shake you will get if you are trying to freehand (i recommend a higher iso and shutter speed).

Great Lens for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this lens was skeptical at firs since I hear these don't work well on a crop sensor camera but have no issues with my canon 80d and this lens highly recommend this lens if you want to start getting into birds and wildlife photography a much cheaper option with great results!

Love this lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is a game changer for anyone interested in getting those long shots of animals. Only issue I see it not using a tripod when you at maximum zoom. If you are at all unsteady your images will be a blurry. Good luck and happy photographing!

Better then I expected!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been playing with wildlife photography for about 5 years now. Prior to this lens I was using the Tameron 70 to 200 with a 2X tele-converter great set up, but the tele-converter slowed the focus down, meaning I took a lot of shots with no guarantee they would be sharp. Not a problem with this lens. It was awesome right out of the box, and for the price there isn’t a better option I’ve found.

It's worth the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be fair I took the pictures freehand; so camera shake is a real possibility. Both pictures have been cropped. The deer was only about 100 yards away and it came out very sharp. The eagle was more than 500 yards away, but my shutter speed was only at 800 and the focal point was off. It is great if you are on a budget or you need a back-up lens.

Q: QuestionI just wanted to see if this lens would work with a Canon Rebel T5..
Asked by Manders.
- A:Answer I have the Canon Rebel 3ti and the lens works perfectly. I had such fun shooting eagles with this lens. I got some awesome photos of eagles flying high above me and many sitting in trees. The lens is very heavy tho.

Q: QuestionWill this lens fit canon 80D ?
Asked by Duluth.
- A:Answer Yes. I normally shoot this lens on a 7D body, but just to be sure I put it on my 80D body and took some shots. Works fine. Included is an image taken yesterday with my 7D body and this lens. This is at 600mm, hand-held. The focus is a touch off, but all my better images exceed the 5Mb upload limit. It is a good lens and I do not regret the purchase. Hope this is helpful.

Q: QuestionI'm looking for a lens to shot youth sports like football and wrestling. Will this be fast enough?
Asked by Bobo73.
- A:Answer I purchased this lens in November 2016 for shooting women's college lacrosse. Lens is definitely fast enough and takes great pictures but, I am finding that I really didn't need the range as much as I thought I would it's almost too long and lens is heavy. Really need a lower aperture and am now looking for a 70-200 or 300 with 2.8.
