    Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI IF VC USD

    Some of the shots from my new tammy 150-600. This lens is very easy to learn and grow. I am in bird photography for just past 1 month. https://www.flickr.com/photos/96880499@N08/19394443294/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/96880499@N08/19989360236/in/dateposted/...

    Tamron 150-600, or f.6.3 in low light conditions

    Even a f/5.6 lens is not adequate for extreme low light conditions. A f/4 lens like Canon 500 f/4 or 400 f/2.8 with TC, would do the job.

    Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI IF VC USD

    After a very long dilemma and confusion, I finally bought Tamron 150-600. Tried both sigma C and tamron in person, took several shots, and finally went with tamron and I love every bit of my tammy. What a lens it is... Being that said, I dont under estimate Sigma. Its a very good lens as well...

    Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI IF VC USD

    Thanks for the reply Nick Leech. New tamron lenses means, is there any date range? I mean should I look for a specific manufacturing date to avoid the older ones.

    Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI IF VC USD

    Does tamron 150-600 works well with canon 600d body? Is there any AF or other issues with this combo? Have read about some AF Isseus with 600d body, due to some firmware issues, but they were fixed later. Inputs are much apperciated. Thanks.

    Celestron Outland X 8x42?

    Thanks for the reply. But my budget it well over less than 100 USD. Would be helpful if anyody could give comparison of optics between Celestron outland x 8x 42 VS Celestron nature 8x42 porro. Obviously porro may have better optics, but is the differnce really huge?
