Looks pretty good at f6.3 - you would probably gain a little sharpness by stopping down to f8 too.

Here is someone posting bird pictures to Flickr using the tamron 150-600.
just been through all his shots so far on there with the tammy ,and it looks like this lens will kick start a revolution .cannot fault any shots with it and if its sharper stopped down its going to be even better .
need to see some b.i.f shots with it now ,as its often what you don't see is what something is incapable of ?.
but so far on the watch this space list
I have now seen loads of shots from the Tammy and while I do not think it will be up to a bare 400/5.6 (or 100-400) it looks as if it will be every bit as good at 600mm, if not better, than either of the two Canon when they have a 1.4x tc on them (56O/f8) especially when the Tammy is stopped down to the same f8.
In a weeks time the lens is released in the States and then we should see some meaningful reviews. Still no news about the UK release yet though :C
This test is absolutely useless, first time he said the 400/5.6 had a UV filter on it and in the last test he is saying that he manually focused the 400/5.6 because there was something wrong with it.an update of ye olde signposte test, twixt 400 f5.6 and 150-600 on 5D mkiii AND 70D. This test is particularly pertinent to collectors of signpost photographs and shows how the actions of these constantly moving creatures can be frozen in time :king:

I have had a couple of 400/5.6 and the lens is a million times better than this guy makes it out to be.
