We have 4 x Tamron 150-600's in our little birding group and we find them excellent lenses. So, after the review at Photography Life, we decided to shoot Sar's Tamron on my D7200 on small ...

Might be a tad shortish for your birding, Lance... or did you pick-up some new tricks in the Land of the Rising Sun? Cheers, Andrew

Unfortunately my crystal ball is not working at all with the D500... yet ;-)

I can sympathise with your issue, but I can not say I have experienced it. My 300PF was one of the very first. In fact, Lance B. shot it and posted the first 300PF images right here on DP Review... ...

Colin, I am sure you are right. However, sometimes you need 12X or more and crop too... Cheers, Andrew

Or, perhaps, could it be that users of new technology need to learn to adapt to the vagaries of that technology to get the best out of it? Cheers, Andrew

Jim, sorry, can't help you with any at ISO 102400... but here is one from Sar at around ISO160,000: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57140659 To me, that is amazing; but to your good self... Cheers

Thanks, Lance. Sar is a master at his trade! Probably, your ISP does not have a presence is Japan... so no messages out. In, no problem. Happy travels and safe return. Cheers, Andrew

Hi Andreas If you seek low weight and agility at around 6X... the 300PF is definitely for you IMHO. This lens is the classic "rapid response" weapon of choice, for sure... This image of a BIF :-D ...

My good friend, Sar, 4MPX on DP Review, sent me this and is happy to share it here: "This Tamron 150-600mm keeps surprising me every time I take it out, especially when paired with my D4s. Last ...

Hi light_bulb As one of the very first to own this lens, please let me make a few observations: 1. The lens is particularly light in weight (i.e. lacks mass) for its magnification. Once I "got" ...

I admire the optimism! Some of us are still waiting for the D810 review... Cheers Andrew

Rishi, would you kindly explain to me what you mean by "Either way, definitely not an ideal way to shoot, and bordering on unusable at long focal lengths hand-held."" ? Does it mean that using, ...

Great idea for a thread, Mark! As a retired guy, the lens that is doing for me currently is the 400FL. Definitely, the best value lens I own... it gets me out of bed early in the morning, even in ...

Pardon the intrusion Bill, but are you sure it is not the camera body itself that is out? Cheers Andrew

John, I do not live in the good old US of A so I can only comment about Nikon in Sydney and the experience of my friends and myself here. Firstly, please consider thinking about your camera and ...

Err, is that the wrong answer to the right question, or the right answer to the wrong question, or the... ;-) Cheers Andrew

Thank you for the link, David. It is, well, sobering! Cheers Andrew

Merry Christmas, Lance. Yeah, you are right... it is a match for the Tammie. Its nice to see Nikon coming up with a viable mid-price/performance zoom :-) Cheers and happy shooting in 2016. Andrew
