![]() In any case it will not reduce blurry shots from fast moving little birds, so in this case you need to crank up the ISO and shutter speed. In my experience, it is more somewhere between 3-4 stops, but you mileage may vary. A real treat.įurthermore, the lens has a very good optical stabilization system, which can reduce shake up to 4.5 stops. Together with the relative big size of the tripod collar which also helps when carrying the lens. The addition of the arca-swiss compatible tripod collar is a very warm welcome, all manufacturers should do this, so there is no need for extra adapters. The remaining buttons and switches feel solid and have a decent click to them. It is very easy to knock off the focus when you are not paying attention. Focussing with the focus ring is precise, but feels a bit light for my taste. Not really a problem, but fast zoom action is therefore a bit limited. Due to the big range, it is not possible to zoom from 150mm to 600mm in one go. ![]() The zoom ring feels smooth with the appropriate resistance, although it could be a bit smoother, but I guess this will improve through usage. ![]() Furthermore, Tamron really thought this design through, incorporating a locking mechanism for travel and a mechanism to set and fix the lens at any focal length by pushing the zoom ring forwards. The lens itself feels very solid with nice materials used, such as metal, rubber and high-grade quality plastics. All the specifications are available here, Tamron specifications, so I won’t bother you with them. The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5.0-6.3 Di VC USD G2 is incorporating a long reach and acceptable weight within a relative compact lens design. So together with I was able to test this combination to see if my curiosity and lust for more reach was well founded. So, in the end I went with the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5.0-6.3 Di VC USD G2, as a fast telephoto prime lens is too heavy to carry out in the field and my bank account cannot carry the load either. As I had the opportunity to shoot with a Nikon D500, I could go with the Nikon 200-500F5.6, the Sigma 150-600 C or the Tamron 150-600 G2 which was recently released. There are many options, but in the end, there were only three options for me to test. So, I thought a bigger and better lens will solve my problem. Recently I have been photographing small birds more and more and wanted more reach without resorting to the tele converter. However, you need enough light for the F8 aperture and contrast to get sharp photos. I now photograph with the Fujifilm X-T2, which I absolutely love! I have the 100-400mm and the 1.4x tele converter and it is a very sharp combination and fast to focus. It isn’t so much the camera or the lens, but more the combination. I’ll try to explain why I still do wonder. But I kept wondering if my mirrorless system was up for the job? Especially for photographing small and erratic birds. I’ve had the privilege to be able to photograph different deer, fallow deer, red deer, birds, but also several foxes (which I absolutely love) and other types of animals. Just heading out in nature and enjoy the surroundings and wildlife is especially relaxing. Especially wildlife photography that is becoming my favourite next to landscape photography. These lenses really let me pursue my passion in nature and wildlife photography. ![]() I purchased the Fujifilm XF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR, together with the 1.4x tele converter. So, with the current Fujifilm set there was no exception. ![]() The last few years I bought several telephoto lenses for my Sony and Olympus cameras. Fast telephoto lenses are not within my budget.Īll the photos in this blog are captured with the Nikon D500 and the Tamron 150-600 G2, with the exception of the “compare” photos. It’s a mix between reach, aperture range, sharpness and a price that is somewhat affordable. Ok, ultimate in this case is a relative term. ![]()
