This is an excellent choice in lenses its sharp even at 400 . I thought ide regret it when I heard tamron is coming out with a 150/600 but if its anything like the sigma 150/500 I doubt its sharp at 500 let alone 600. Get the canon and don't look back . Want more length get a 1.4 extender . I am real happy I got it. Flying eagles tack sharp at 200 yards at 400mm.

Fortunately it is nothing like the Sigma 150-500.  Very much like your Canon 100-400 with an extra 200 mm.  Reviews of the Tamron from people who have used it have been very positive.   Now that it is in circulation, the pictures being produced by those who have it, can be seen to be as good as those taken  by the canon 100-400.   Mine is on order.
