For the price, this lens is exceptional value. Images you get from this is very good. Tamron has improved their quality tremendously, compared to their lens 20 years ago. I think now that Sony practically owns Tamron, the R&D and QC on all of their new lenses are just as good as the native lens
@@hishamosman4341 I agree Tamron quality is incredible, Sony does own a stake in Tamron so I'm sure they have a lot to say in terms of lens quality. Tamron has really been making some incredible lenses lately
I really want Nikon's 180-600 next year, but this 50-400 might be a more useful lens for me at the moment. The image quality throughout its range, size and versatility are so impressive. The one small downside is I feel Tamron should have included the $129 tripod collar, but easy enough to add and perhaps many people wouldn't use it with a lens of this size? Will likely order this 50-400 as soon as the first promo appears. Throwing you a new sub, let's get you to 200! 😎
Thank you for your comment. While the 180-600 is a superb lens, I think it would be a lot to travel with. I love that Tamron is taking what is standard such as the 100-400 and expanding on it. I do agree the tripod collar being includrd would've been nice, although from my testing the VC makes handheld shooting a lot easier. I appreciate your sub! More lens reviews coming in the future
@@WaterfallJoe Yeah. I don’t know if you remember me, but I was the kid that came to Milford Photo to about a fast lens for my camera and you recommended taking some classes to learn about the different camera settings. Thank you again for that.
The 24-200 is a great lens and weighs a bit less than this but the 50-400 is one of the most versatile lenses out there. I may make a video on the Nikon 28-400 which is another great alternative but I believe this lens outperforms it especially at 400mm
@@stigfloberghagenphotography That's such a nice lens. This lens is a great super zoom option for a good amount of money less. Us Nikon shooters have some good choices to pick from!
@@golfsafetyexpert3478 I haven't tested them against each other, but I'd think the Tamron might be a bit sharper as it is an f/4.5-6.3 where the Nikon is an F/4-8, usually a lens that covers such a huge range has to sacrifice a little bit to keep it smaller and a good price.

Good presentation and review I subscribed. Take care.
@@Luigi13 Thank you so much. I hope to have similar videos in the future
I have a Tamron telephoto lens that I use for my Canon EOS T7. It takes really good pictures.
Tamron makes some incredible lenses!

I might get this lens. It might give me that extra reach that my 24-200 is lacking.

Looks interesting. 🙂👍 I got the z 100-400

Hi very interesting video - which is the sharpest Tamron 59-400 or Nikon 28-400?

I'm wondering how much this is giving up compared to the Z 100-400 S.
It's hard to beat the quality of a Nikkor S lens, but for over $1000 less plus the additional 50mm on the short end makes it really appealing to me.
