    EDIT:
    1. I messed up with the shutter speed numbers, longest I’ve ever shot handheld at was one second not two.
    2. The lens material is actually aluminum and an unknown plastic material. But note that the barrel is all aluminum.
    I hope I did not mislead anyone!

    I've had mine going on 5 yrs. now and I've taken a lot of good pics with it, won a few photo contests myself. I was actually looking at other lenses (Canon) today, some prime and some not and after watching reviews on them I came back to my senses and decided to stick with my big Tammy and save lots of money. I realize more than ever now just how nice a big tele-zoom lens. I can stay in one spot almost always and frame up on a bird. That's a huge advantage over a prime. And when you understand it, what aper's/zoom lengths to use you get better pics with it.

No one ever mentioned that little bit of information and believe me I search so thank you , I can use it again along with my 100-400 which is my preferred lens for hiking !!!!!

      @@caiopacheco5827 Unless you already have many EF-S lenses, i would take the Eos r all day long. While the 90d has a great noise performance its still a crop sensor. The Eos r has gotten really good over the past years and its actually quite a good deal right now. Try and look at the used market, many pros are selling their Eos r since they bought an R5

    Great video. Does this lens work well with the 2x extender? I have the 70-200mm with the tamron 2x extender. If there's no auto focus issue with the 2x extender, this will be my next purchase. I will use it with my eos r5.

    • @tomaskoeck
      @tomaskoeck  3 года назад

      That’s a tough question because the lens is so large! The atlas pack is the only one I know I’d that you can customize to fit. Maybe give Milford Photo a call, they might have something in stock

    I know you probably don’t have this camera 📸 but I still have to ask you, do you think this lens would be good for my Canon M50? Yes I have the adapter but since is a crop sensor, please give me advices, I am into wildlife photography...

      Mine does seem to have intermittent issues with the autofocus motor. I still have it but switched from Nikon to the Fujifilm X-T4 so there is currently no autofocus option yet for the Nikon to X-mount. At least not one that has been fully released yet. When it did decide to work, I got some decent shots including high altitude F-15's doing maneuvers overhead. It does get a bit heavy after awhile though. Now hopefully Sigma and Tamron can soon start making glass for the X-Mount system.

    I congratulate you on the perfect review of this lens where you point out the strengths such as weight and weather resistance. For the sharpness I agree with you that it is extraordinary and if it plays with lenses that cost over ten thousand dollars. I use it with Nikon D850, D7200 and Z6 bodies with excellent results. Cordial greetings.

    @Tomas Koeck I want to start getting in to wildlife photography, and Im having a real hard to deciding on a camera and lens. I thought about finding a good deal on a used Nikon D500, but Im finding it really hard comitting to one brand over the other. As for lenses the Tamron 150-600 G2 seems like a good place to start. Would love if you could give me some recommendations.

      For getting started, the D7500 does everything almost exactly the same as the d500 but for a much better price. I was also looking for a used d500 but decided to go with d7500 and put the money i saved into the lens and other gear. Couldn't be happier, it is an absolute beast for wildlife
