Hello, I found a huge promotion on a Tamron 150-600 G2, and I wonder if it would be wise to change my Canon 100-400 v1?
Besides the 200mm, what about the image quality between the 2?

Thank you

I have a Canon 6D.

I have the Canon 100-400 V1 and the V2 and also the Tamron 150-600 G1.  I keep the Tamron on one cam body and the Canon on another body (I hate swapping lens).

If I had to give up one or the other, I would get rid of the Tamron.  The Tamron is a nice lens and a joy to use for birding and wildlife.  My most used combo is the 100-400 V2 with the 1.4TC. on my 7D MK2.

I am not a pixel peeper.  Printing out at 11" x 14", they all look the same.
