    Tamron 2nd generation SP 150-600mm Di VC USD 'G2'

    I would say more than a little :smoke:

    Tamron 2nd generation SP 150-600mm Di VC USD 'G2'

    On paper, looks like they have addressed all the issues the first generation had Very promising! And the lens looks beatiful

    New Sigma 150/600 contemporary

    Come on.... You can have your opinion about Isaac and say anything about it, but the photos he shares with us are the best. I dare say, the best I've seen with either Sigmas anywhere

    New Sigma 150/600 contemporary

    I agreed that portrait photos of birds that look like an ID Card picture are less pleasing than photos showing some of the surrounding habitat

    Sigma 150-600 sport v Contempory

    And also looks better than Canon's 100-400 II + tc 1.4x at centre frame (mid-frame looks the same to me)

    Eagle owls in Monfrague

    I would be very interested to know where the Eagle Owl near Trujillo is located. I'll be visiting the region in the first 2 weeks of June I've been trying to see that bird for years with no success :)

    New Sigma 150/600

    Isaac is right. You should have a backup support. I use the tether kit from blackrapid http://www.blackrapid.com/products/tether-kit

    New Sigma 150/600 contemporary

    It looks great to me and with a 16mpx full frame Camera, which kind of contradicts what Roy has been saying :confused:

    New Sigma 150/600 contemporary

    Maybe AF speed could be tweaked with the dock?

    New Sigma 150/600 contemporary

    http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1357161 the best I've seen so far. And look really really good imo

    New Sigma 150/600

    The ones taken with the 1D look sharper to my eyes

    New Sigma 150/600

    And canon vs tamron 560mm vs 600mm @ f8 http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=972&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=5&API=2&LensComp=929&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=5&APIComp=2 Tamron looks better in center. Hmm

    7D11 vs 5D3 and 1DX

    What I mean is: From Canon Europe "Smaller pixels are more sensitive to camera shake, as a smaller movement will cause the image to move across more pixels. You need to hold the camera steadier - ideally on a tripod. For the same reason, sports photographers also need to re-think their...

    7D11 vs 5D3 and 1DX

    If it was as simple as a matter of cropping vs resulting megapixels then crop would always win. But it is not. Camera shake will be more of a problem with a crop camera and even more so when the subject is not well-lit. The loss of light plus higher iso noise will make one use lower shutter...

    New 100-400

    The question is: will it be sharper and AF faster with a tc than the Sigma or the Tamron?
