Pros

For a burgeoning wildlife photographer this lens does it all - for less. The only drawback with my lens and the new one you can expect to get with amazon is that amazon will have a better warranty with the option of buying an extended one. The optic t...  Read More

Even cropped way in image holds with barely any noticeable noise at all. Only ding is the auto focus quality. My keeper rate with this lens incorporating sony oss was not a great deal higher than the tamron without it.

Is works wonderfully. It's the best but topaz denoise is also quite good. Here’s my review:https://www. Amazon.

Quality


It shoots photos at its best image quality in sunlight and even during cloudy weather it still does a fantastic job.


The lens produces clear and crisp images and the zoom length makes it easy to capture motorcycles as they approach


With no image stabilization built into the lens, it does not compete for highest image quality when you must use a lower shutter speed.


0 this lens is quite sharp, and the image sharpness pretty much remains up to 400mm at f6.

Price


You really can’t beat the price point for this much reach.

In fact, i find the image quality to be noticeably better than that of the sony 24-240 which i own.

    Unless you are a professional who will really beat up the lens i would say there paying 1400 more for the sony is a waste of money


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In terms of performance and build i dont perceive enough difference to pay double the price


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While some foks complain about the extra 100 for the tripod adapter thats crazy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The lens is still half the price of the sony even with the tripod adapter

    Lens was dirty when i opened itplastic bags look old


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However my photos dont pay any bills so spending 2000 on a sony ggm telephoto isnt in the cards this is just an indulgent hobby for me


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    All the same i appreciate the utility of telephoto lenses particularly for zoos and aviation where 34getting closer34 is rarely an option


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
