- A lot of people have requested a review of this lens - so, here we go. A 100-400mm lens that might not be as perfect as Canon, Nikon and Sony's versions...but certainly seems to offer far better value for money.

I got my Tamron 100-400 for $550 new on ebay with a coupon, very happy with my purchase! Just a word of warning if you are coming from a kit lens like I did, 400mm lenses not a straight upgrade to 250 or 300, you'll have to get good at finding your subject and managing your focus with the limiter to maximize performance. Luckily this lens has good all around performance and allows you to set all the variables with the Tap in console. Good luck potential buyers!!
I own this lens myself for about three-quarters of a year now, and let me point out a few things i've noticed over time to expand on your excellent review (which might be personal things but I still feel like pointing it out for your interest!).
- the zoom ring indeed turns the other way, which I can't get used to myself because I use multiple lenses which all turn clockwise to zoom in. however, with the lens hood equipped i find it can also function excellent as a push-pull zoom mechanism. as the travel distance of the lens' front element is pretty long and steady, I don't believe you actually hurt any mechanics inside of the lens by doing this (unlike some wide angle zooms which have a lot shorter gearing inside).
- the focus ring is nice to have, but I've actually found it really difficult to manually focus at 400mm because it requires very small and precise corrections. oftentimes I've found it more time effective to just have the auto-focus have a crack at it again instead of manual focusing. also a thing worth pointing out is that the focus ring doesn't feel as distinguished as the zoom ring which is very nicely rubberized, where the focus ring is more towards the plastic side of rubbery'ness if that makes sense :).
- to elaborate a little more on the auto-focus, this is the reason i picked the tamron instead of the sigma. because holy hell this thing is quick. and most of the time pretty accurate. it can be a little off some times but like I've mentioned before you can just retry focusing and it works quick enough to not have to manual focus
- a relative of mine owns the canon equivalent which as stated is a lot more expensive and has a little advantage in terms of aperture. however, if you are not a professional and you care about your back, I wouldn't want the canon as it is insanely heavy compared to this one, and it is much thicker making it harder to handle with one hand when switching lenses and possibly harder to pack in a bag.
- in terms of image quality I've actually found it to be pretty great when the picture is sharp. this kind of lens surely takes some practice to get used to if you (like me) never handled anything over 200mm before. however I use it on my aps-c sensor Canon 750D which gives great results. I was shocked by the tests Chris did on the EOS M camera, because those 400mm corner and center results look pretty rough to me, while I have never actually noticed things that seemed that bad in my year of using it.
if you'd like to see some more images i took with it, you can check my instagram: Stenmartens_Photography.
to conclude i'd like to say that this lens has become a piece of equipment I carry with my 95% of the time and I seriously enjoy using it.
Thanks Sten, love your photos on instagram, considering buying this lens for my Canon 80D
How do the Tamron and Sigma compare?
@@orcaella8003 90% of people says tamron has better vc and faster af.
@@karate-kampela2950 Indeed, I keep seeing this in the reviews, which makes me wonder why the Tamron is often about €250 cheaper than the Sigma... :\
At this moment, the Sigma costs €999, when the Tamron is only €749.
@@arjan1971 did you end up getting this for your 80d? If so how is it?
I own this lens and it's truly fantastic. If you want to use it as a landscape photographer, the Sigma is not even a close competitor. Since the Tamron is the only one that's got a lens collar, it's the only one you're able to shoot longer shutter speeds with. It may be a tiny bit less sharp at 400mm, but from the tests I've made you will not be able to notice the differences up to DIN A2 prints or more, and even then it's basically a non-issue. Super lightweight, super fair price, best ultra-zoom landscape lens you can own.
I love your reviews ! You go directly into the subject, no useless 30min, thanks for you work ! This lens is definitely in my wishlist ! It will perfectly complete my 24-70mm G2 and 70-200m G2 Tamron lenses :D
Finally!! Thanks for this review Chris. I decided to go for the Sigma 100-400, its af was improved with the firmware update, and the IQ is a bit better overall.
maybe Sigma 150-600? almost same price.
Keyser Soze that lens is heavier, softer and for me €200,- more expensive... Its better to crop the 400mm to 600mm.
www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=1178&Camera=963&Sample=0&FLI=4&API=3&LensComp=990&CameraComp=963&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=5&APIComp=2 At 400mm Looks like the sigma 150-600 is more sharper and you have a tripod collar as standard besides that you will have an extra 200mm. But on full frame is the Tamron a bit sharper.
Funny, other reviews said the Tamron was slightly sharper than the sigma. (Dustin Abbott review)
@@fourwallz yea someone said that sigmas are better for nikon and tamron is better for canon
Man I swear every single lens I can find... you have a review of it. I love your channel lol
So excited to get this lens! On crop sensor I’ll have lots of fun with birds and sports!
I have this lens (w/tpod mount), use it on an 80D and it is fantastic kit in addition to being a BARGAIN.!
It's fits in the bag, is remarkably lite in weight at 40 oz (my Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8, which I leave at home, weighs 53 oz, Ouch!)
Sharpness, contrast, color, resolution, resistance to flare are amazing for a lens at this price.
Great for landscape, wildlife and even portrait work (outdoors, of course).
Besides wide angle I also use a Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS USM (26oz), but this Tammy has that extra reach for critter pics.
I sold a minty Sigma 150-500mm which is also a very good lens for the money, but the Tammy has much better sharpness, contrast, faster AF and weighs less..
The Tammy 18-400mm is surprisingly good too, although I don't include it when out for the day.
No regrets.
Thanks for your advice, will go for this one
I purchased the Sigma version first. The sharpness was very impressive but the auto focus and image stabilization was sub par at best. I sold it and purchased the Tamron. Though not quite as sharp as Sigma it is a better overall lens and has the optional tripod collar.
I found out that on my APS-C camera the picture quality is very good at 400mm when you focus to infinity, it gets worse when the subject is closer, like 10 meters or below (like on the test chart).
I am very happy with this lens, bought this one instead of the Sigma because Tamron make the best image stabilisations imo, I am very happy with my purchase.
Finally! :D I've been using this lens for a month or so, and I really like it! I'm using it on APS-C (but about to go FF as soon as i can) and I mainly use it for wildlife. I noticed the stabilization is good but not great, handheld shots below 1/1000s may be slightly soft at 400mm, but I ordered the tripod collar and a cheap gimbal head to be mounted on my tripod and this way I can get very sharp shots even at 1/500 and also keep the ISO down, my 50D is't a great high ISO performer. I noticed a bit of haziness at 400mm wide open, but not in every shot. One of the first images I got was handheld at 400mm f/6.3 and it was very sharp.
Also, since I got the lens on the "grey market" I got it for 550€, a lot less than the 800€ normal price. Thanks for the review, Tamron lenses are getting better with time (so are Sigma's) and they have three great stabilized primes which are very interesting (like the 45mm or the 85mm!)
Photoshop is finally offering the 100-400 lens correction. Before they had the auto lens correction it was still pretty easy to correct it manually. Either way the need for correction was minimal.
Nice review of an excellent lens that I bought in April 2017 and have used on the a6000 and a7M2. In the real world it is an impressive performer with either APS-C or FF format.
Jackie Semple out of interest what adapter were you using on the a7M2 and how does the autofocus perform?
My comment refers to the 85 mm F1.8 lens and was not made in this review that I've never set eyes on until now. In short, my comment was made in a different review but somehow the comment has been placed here - erroneously - but not by me! I do not have a Tamron lens.
Thank you very much for this review! I went ahead and bought one a couple of days back and it's been amazing!
The Telephoto End performance on Crop is whats keeping me from buying these...
Think I will get the 150-600 g2 eventually. Its a dang good option for Birds. Also I will get a lot of improvement when I finaally get a FF.
Love Tamron.
The lens lock at minimal zoom range is, indeed, not a very useful feature when shooting, but it is very useful if you store lenses in a bag / holster, as they prevent lens extension when pulling it out (especially if you also have the hood installed, reversed - for storage). Hat off for this feature, as Tamron is thinking about what's happening both when taking pics and when carrying the lens around! I wish Canon would add this to their lenses...
My go to site for lens reviews
Thanks for make this videos. I'm from México, I've been watching your videos for years. God bless you.
Chris, love to see a review of the Sigma on a Canon R7. I think by now you've realized that the bad stabilization image in the viewfinder is that way because you need to set it with the puck to show stabilized image not just when shooting.
Keep in mind the Canon, Nikon and Sony lenses are f4.5 to f5.6
Whoa....
I mean, this is not a significant advantage. Those lenses definietly don't worth 2x or 3x more than these cheaper options...
Dont get me wrong....I love your reviews, but.... it allways makes me Smile big time if people start blabbering about the superiority of the canon 100-400 II....😄 why?.....well....I own both lenses... really dont see any difference as it goes for IQ , and I mostly shoot at 400 on my 90D, 32,5 mp sensor..... the canon seems to be a littlebit faster on the AF.... but the tamron is much lighter, cheaper and doesnt suffer from focusbreathing like the canon....... I bought my canon in germany for 1790 euro.....bought my tamron in hongkong for 540 euro....!! I know another person who has a tamron 100-400..... and than bought a canon 100-400 II...... she thought it was broken when she first used it......because she couldnt see any IQ difference when she started using it😂
tamrom 100-400 can use with 90D? PICTURES will be sharp and good image quality ?
The whole point of a review is to see how it stacks up performance wise and for the price. Cross shopping exists. These reviews is why I'm keeping my tamron 100-300 over my 100-400 canon version 1
The tamron is sharper
Hello, I like your simple yet detailed reviews. Out of Tamron and Sigma 100 - 400, which lens is better for a Canon RP camera please ? Thank you.
Solid, informative review. Looking forward to more!
Nice review! I also found that the sigma 100-400 was sharper than the tamron. (Tested on fullframe Nikon body)
HI Chris I really enjoy your reviews thanks
Hello, excellent review of the Tamron 100-400 lens - think I will be trying one. I find your reviews very helpful so thanks for the effort you put in.
Would you mind telling me where is the slate quarry featured in some of the sample shots in the review? I am a landscape photographer and I have a particular interest in the remains of old industry, kind regards Pete
It seems this lens performs better on Full frame than APS-C, especially Sharpness, CA and Optical Stabilization.
I also used this lens on both FF and APS-C camera.
Great review! I enjoy watching every one of your videos! Your production is very professional, and it’s a joy to see your awesome photos! I love how nice your voice is, too. Also, was it just my imagination, or were you sick when recording this? Your voice sounded quite strained.
Just purchase one! Getting it next week.
I found it to be pretty disappointing on my 7Dii even with in camera focus adjustments. Sold it and am going to get Canon's version.
My copy gives me incredibly sharp images even for high speed raptors in flight. Then again third party lenses are prone to big deviations between copies of the same product. Calibration using tap in console should help.
Hi Christopher, great review as always! How does this tami compare to 150-600 G1 in terms of sharpness? Maybe some comparision of long telephoto lens in near future? ;-)
Thanks, I bought the lens and agree with your review. It a very good compromise between quality and value. Be prepared to get up close and personal with your quarry if you want to get good shots.
Hi, thanks for your review. I am considering this lens as my first telephoto lens and just wondering what does "Full-frame & APS-C" stand for? I have a APS-C Nikon F mount camera and i do wonder will it be cropped? Will i be able to use this lens with full frames equipped with F mounts? Thank you in advance
Great reviews Chris, keep it up! How did you find the AF performance when adapted into your Sony?
Not great - I wasn't using a very expensive adaptor, though
Really considering buying this!
Test this lens on my Nikon D610, but not very happy with that. It works great on my other Nikon D5500 and D7100. This lens works much better at APS-C.
Glad you did this lens. Thanks. :)
I would love to have the Sony 100-400 but the price is looney toons. Waiting for Tamron or Sigma to put an E mount on theirs.
Exact same here! I was considering the Sony 70-300mm G lens, as it has great af and decent sharpness, but it just lacks reach for full frame!
Hi Chris! Thanks for the such a good review! Do you think it will be a good choice for long-range street shooting / taking candid portraits etc.?
Sure. Watch the review, you'll find out all about it :-)
Ended up going with the Tamron 70-300 and 2x Teleconverter 👌
Does the tamron 70-300mm di vc usd support the tamron 2x teleconverter?
I’m contemplating getting this lens for my Canon M50 but I’m worried that since I’ll be adapting it, it will have some focus issues. What do you think?
Hi Christopher, thank you for your work, I appreciate it quite a lot. May I ask you your opinion on a personal doubt? I am a hobbyist which shoots FF mainly travelling. I cover the telephoto FL with a 70/300VC which is an extremely valuable lens especially for the price, and if necessary I throw in the bag also an 85 1.8 and/or a 180 2.8. I am not completely satisfied with the colour rendition and of course the bokeh of the 70/300. So I will buy another telephoto, and I can't decide between the new 70/210 f4 VC and the 70/200 2.8 VC G2. I prefer to travel light but if the difference in term of overall performance (sharpness and bokeh specially) is so relevant I will go for the G2. Which is quite bulkier and heavier but will consent to leave the primes at home. Thanks in advance!
If you're travelling around then I'd recommend the 70-210. You don't really need f/2.8 for landscape photography :-)
I was seriously considering this lens for my D7500 but the APS-C performance is rather bad at 400m... It's a shame because it's looking great on full frame.
Very helpful review, thank you!
Christopher one more excellent review!
Can you also review Tamron 70-200 f/4?
Hi Chris as usual very nice review. could you please review sigma 150-600 contemporary as well as tamron 150-600
Need native Sony e mount versions pleaseee
Hi Chris, Thanks for this review. I got a second hand mint of this lens for £500. Really got it for the 400mm reach. The lens was soft at this focal length, but after in camera calibration this was impressive. The lower end of the zoom is now soft. Haven't been able to find a decent 400mm prime for my D7100 for this price and the Sigma equivalent zoom falls short on good VC and fast, accurate AF. Pondering whether to keep this as a 400mm lens only. Any suggestions on an alternative?
You should be able to calibrate the wider angles separately if you need to. This is not a bad lens to keep just for 400mm
@@christopherfrost Thank you Chris for your quick reply. I find I can calibrate each focal length individually, but will keep the lens primarily for 400mm.
Also think that if I need to use the lens as a zoom at a later date the purchase of the Tamron tap-in console for Nikon may be the answer, although £70+ is for next year.
If this is so, then I should not have bothered you with this question in the first place!
Many thanks again.
Hi,please suggest Tamron 100-400 or Tamron 18-400 which will be better for my canon 80D.thank you
I have a Tamron 70-300 mm DI VC USD. It is an ok lens. In my case and experience, it looks like it is just not sharp in some certain scenarios, for example, shooting @300mm and at the furthest focusing point (there may be other scenarios, I haven't kept track of all pictures I've taken). If your object is closer than the furthest focusing length - the lens is very sharp. My question is simple - is the 100-400 worth upgrading to and would it potentially fix this issue?
Which one should I get, the tamron or the sigma 100-400mm?
hey Chris. I have a canon 80d and planning to buy a full-frame in the future. I need a telephoto lens, which one do u suggest Tamron 100-400 or Tamron 150-600. I'm really confused, Sometimes I feel that extra reach is better. but in some of ur replies, u say that we will get the same quality of 150-600 with the 100-400 (if cropped to 600mm). which one do u suggest?
You'll ultimately do better with the 150-600
I have the famous lens 55-250 STM (which I bought because of your review) and really considering buying this lens. My question is simple, is it a worthy upgrade?
If you would have to pick between the canon 100-400 L used like new at $930 vs this tamron 100-400 totally New at $700 which one would you pick? Pleaaaase answer me... ❤️❤️
Hi, this or Sigma? I also find interesting new afp 70-300 5.6e Nikon for FX camera. Seems to be really sharp and with fast and silent autofocus even on live view.
Worried about this Sigma and Tamron 6.3 aperture, you lose some focusing points on D610 (over F5.6 aperture)
I compare the two at the end of this video
Would you choose this over the Sigma 100-400mm based on your other test for a crop sensor user (T6i)?
Will it give a real 400mm reach? Some Tamron lenses won't reach the full zoom range most likely because of focus breathing.
Hey, I've got a question between the tamron 100-400 vs the canon 70-300 nano usm.
To me it seems the 70-300 has much faster and more accurate autofocus while still being a bit sharper. Along with the small aperture boost, because it is sharper, I could drop in more and possibly even make up for the extra 100mm reach
But the tamron 100-400 still seems to have good af speeds and is reasonably sharp.
What would you suggest between the two.
I need an upgrade from my very sharp but also very slow focusing 55-250 stm
I'd personally go for the 100-400 because I like the extra reach for wildlife photography
Nice Review. Thanks. Can you please review Sigma Contemporary AF 150‑600?
Another epic review! Can you imagine this lens on a crop sensor camera? Is this what we would call a stalk around lens?
OrganicFarmer i think for crop sensor you better choose tamron 18-400. Its have better range.
excellent
Much sharper image the 100-400 than the 18-400
I've tried it and its really not worth it at the long end, its pretty soft for the sorts of things you want for those ranges
Thanks for the comments and feedback, because I am actually relatively new to photography and video and don't do this professionally. I use the 18-135 nano USM kit lens, primarily for video and stick to primes for photography. I am amazed by the quietness and focusing speed of this lens and Canon STM lenses for video. Canon APS-C is difficult to beat for people wanting to get their feet wet (I have invested around $1000 in my whole kit) before settling into system(s) for their particular needs. While people are pixel peeping and arguing over specs regarding new cameras, I am enjoying the ergonomics, autofocus, and color science of the Canon 80d APS-C system, waiting for the new Canon full frame mirrorless system to come out 😁.
I have this lens and am using it with my Nikon D750 & Z6ii. But facing a problem with the sharpness when focussed to infinity(400 mm). For focussed distance within 30 ft there is no problem. I don't know whether the firmware update can resolve this issue.
How would you compare this to the 70-300 vc ? I got a sl2 with a 70-300 vc and like the lenses but feel like I'm missing something
Great review! Which is better for you, Tamron or Sigma?
I talk about that in one or the other videos. The Sigma is a bit sharper, the Tamron has slightly better image stabilisation
@@christopherfrost thanx a lot :)
Please test out the sony 100-400 lens. I really want to buy that one. Also when testing AF could you check for the focus accuracy ?
Finally some dslr stuff :)
Have it :-) I wanted a lens that would be better than my Canon 100-400 Mk1 or at least would be equal in IQ. What pulled me over instead of the Sigma was, faster autofocus (faster than the Mk1) the better Image stabilizer, tripod mount (okay optional but still). As a bonus it is way lighter than the Canon. On 400mm it is on par or better than my Mk 1 Canon. Have never tested the Sigma, so can't comment on it (and won't). Would I like to have the Mk 2... sure, but haven't got the money for it.... and thinking to get the 150-600 G2. But then again.... also want the tap in console... yeah... I want a lot of things.
Thanks for the useful camera lenses review. Please if you are going to a Safari, which lens would you buy / bring with you, the Canon ef 70-210 f/4l is usm or the tamron 100-400 f/4-6.3 vc usd? Thanks in advance for the help and once again for the useful tips.
Safari, the Tamron - you'll want the extra reach
Hi Sten I'm an occasional photographer and i own 400mm canon F5,6L which I'm ok with it but i need a 100-400 but the mark 2 version is way abive my budget. I'm confused wether i should buy canon 100-400 mark i secondbhand or Tamron 100-400 brand new. Please advive. I'm confused.
i wonder how this compares to the tamron 150 - 600 vc USD g2 f5-6.3
Daniel Cifuentes the 150-600mm from Sigma and the g2 from Tamron are really quite soft over 400mm. I recommend the Sigma 100-400, it is much sharper at 400 mm than the Tamron 100-400, and it has the same IQ as the Tamron 150-600 g2 if you crop it to 600mm.
I love your test, you saved me so much time :)
My friend has the Canon equivalent (the mark 1) and I never found it to be razor sharp. Hopefully this performs better optically!
Yes, it does, here is a handy tool:
www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=1120&Camera=453&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=113&Sample=0&CameraComp=453&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0
(I did select the Sigma instead of the Tamron. Its in my opinion a better lens overall.)
Strange. I have a friend who say's it's sharper than his 100mm L.
How is the focus performance when this lens is adapted to Sony e-mount? I've been waiting for them to make this lens work natively for e-mount but its taking them so long, I might go with adapted! lol
And, have you tried it with the teleconverters?
I haven't tried it with teleconvertors, no
Tamron 70-210 f4 next please!
Hi
Canon 60D, looking at Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary & Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD.
which one do you recommend?
I prefer the Sigma, it's slightly sharper
Sir need your opinion about nikon 55-200/afp 70-300/ or 55-300 ... I have nikon d3400 i only have the kit lens so what should be my next by your opinion? Or any other in your recommendation
Thank you so much for this review !
I was really curious how it would perform on my M3 and now I know ;)
I guess it’s not the lens for me and will consider getting a used 70-300 L instead :)
Please, look at Sigma 105mm f 1.4 as an idea for the next video. I find your reviews the most informative among others.
That lens review is coming
Christopher Frost Photography glad to know that. You're awesome, dude!
Sir wich will be better 70-210 f4 or 100-400 f4.5-6.3 in terms of optical performance.I use canon 80D. please let me know.Thank you!
how is tour experience with the commlite ef-nes you're using with non native lenses like Tamron or Sigma or especially Yongnuo lenses?
It complete depends what lens you use - it works differently with everything I'm afraid. I've found the Sigma MC-11 to be much more compatible generally
What do you think will be better choice tamron 100 400 or tamron 18 400m?
May I know... Is this lens compatible with Kenko 2.0x Teleplus Pro 300 DGX teleconverter?
Theoretically AF DSLR-style is not guaranteed above f/5.6. But in many cases this configuration works, What is the true?
You could test the APS-C with the Sony instead of Canon. I had the Canon M50 and now the Sony A6300 and all adapted Canon lenses to the Sony body are much sharper now.
Is the M50 really that bad? I read a ton of complaints.
Great video as always :) Can you comment on autofocus when adapted to Sony?
Depends entirely on what adaptor you use
Thx for this what I was looking for, but How would this compare on a Sony a7 with a canon 100-400 L IS version I
Hello Chris!! How is focusing of the Tamron on Sony using commlite adapter and video autofocus??
Not good
I would use this for portraits
Hello I'm looking for a wild life lens. I'm thinking on the 100-400mm and 150-600mm of sigma an tamron. I don't understand all in your videos. So which one may be the best.?
For wildlife I'd get the Sigma 150-600 'C'
I would be glad to explain why the video clips are less sharp in the lens than the Kropp camera.
2. Why does the 24-70 tamron g2 not be reviewed ?
1. Go ahead; 2. Because I haven't reviewed it.
Hello
Thanks for video..
I am asking about Fuji xt20 how is it with kit lens 18-55 2.8-4???
I am coming from nikon 5200
No idea, sorry
Christopher Frost Photography thanks mate.
I like ur reviews keep it on
I want the Nikon 80-400 as a do it all zoom.. but man the price :(
There's the cheaper Tamron 18-400mm lens, Chris Frost reviewed this lens a few months ago, but it's probably not as good as the Nikon Lens
Pascal Goldbach Thanks, but not helpful. The 18-400 is a cheap do it all crop sensor travel zoom, while the 80-400 is a full frame high-end nature/wildlife kind of deal
How is the autofocus using the Commlite adapter on your Sony A7RII?
So, if you had to choose, which would it be, Tamron or Sigma
????
would you still recommend the 6d as a first full frame dslr,
or should I go with sony?
Hi Christopher! tamron 100-400mm or sigma 100-400mm is better for canon asp-c sensor? (For wild photography)what is your opinion ?
The Sigma will be slightly sharper
@@christopherfrost thank you very much!!
Thanks form the review! 4:07 - Looks like your sensor needs cleaning. Also f/45? Really?
A useful review. nice to get some views into Llanberis slate quarries :)
Please review the Tamron 70-210mm f4 VC USD lens...
Treat this as a 100-400mm and "constant" F8 and occasionally 400mm F11. That would suit pretty much 99% of what is reasonably possible with this lens.
All I am concerned about is AF performance and consistency if manufacturing.
I see a piece of tape on top of focus window. Was the protective glass somehow damaged or whats going on here?
@Havis Fin Tamron usually places a thin film over the focus distance window. Chris probably forgot to remove it.
