I rented this lens to capture the total eclipse from the totality line. I rented it through borrowlenses.com and after I made the reservation I was notified that they had merged with lensrentals.com. My rental was seamless. Lens came to me in a waterproof case and was packed with every attention to detail. The lens as well as the staff at Lens Rentals made the experience amazing. I will be renting equipment from Lens Rentals again.

First, I'll respond to some of the comments about its weight. I'm 59-year-old male. I still run regularly but gave up my upper body exercises about a year ago. I shoot everything hand-held. The weight has not been a problem for me. If I don't get back to the upper body exercises sometime in the next 10-15 years, I suspect the weight could become a problem but by then the lenses are likely to be a lot lighter. Second, this lens coupled with the A 99 II is a fabulous set up for flying birds. The autofocus on the A 99 II is lightning. On good days, I can get in focus flying eagle sequences of six shots or more. Personally, I don't know how anyone gets any decent flying eagle shots shooting from a tripod. Finally, as it relates to Yellowstone and similar places, I would ... MoreFirst, I'll respond to some of the comments about its weight. I'm 59-year-old male.

On good days, I can get in focus flying eagle sequences of six shots or more. Personally, I don't know how anyone gets any decent flying eagle shots shooting from a tripod. Finally, as it relates to Yellowstone and similar places, I would probably shoot this lens over a prime lens almost all of the time even if I owned a prime lens. The first reason is set- up time. By the time the owner of a prime lens gets out of the vehicle and sets up his/her prime lens, the animal is going to be gone about 40% of the time. The second reason is re-set up time. If there are fifty photographers at an animal jam and the subject moves, good luck finding a place where you can move your tripod. With this lens, I can shoot over others' shoulders and through other very narrow openings. Prime lens owners may get shots of a marginally higher quality but, it really doesn't matter if their shots are of animal rear ends when ours are of the animals' faces. The third way this lens is superior to a prime lens are situations when the animal walks toward the photographer. A fixed focal range is a fixed focal range. Shots of bears' noses, while interesting, aren't appealing to most. On the other hand, pictures of a bear's face taken a few yards outside of your vehicle's window shot at f/5.0 150 mm might bring more than a few compliments. In short, it's a great wildlife lens. I wouldn't trade mine for any prime lens on the market.

I bought this lens to expand options in nature & wildlife photography. I use this lens on my d800 to compliment my Nikkor 70-200mm which is probably my most used lens. I recent used this lens to shoot the crane migration. This lens provides the perfect focal length for subjects 100-200 yards out. I noticed some minor back focusing issues which also can occur on my Nikkor lenses from far away subjects. Because your margin of error can be much greater and longer focal lengths, i found myself switching to manual focus a lot to ensure the birds were in focus while moving rapidly. If you are in the sweet spot for focus the images are very sharp. There is some mild vignette on images at the full length but nothing that cannot be rectified in post. I was most surprised ... MoreI bought this lens to expand options in nature & wildlife photography. I use this lens on my d800 to compliment my Nikkor 70-200mm which is probably my most used lens.

I was most surprised with how well this lens did as even a portrait lens outdoor. If you shoot it with some nice foreground and good distance between your subject and background this lens provides exceptional bokeh up there with any Nikkor lens. I'm giving this a 4 bc of slight focusing issues described above but i nonetheless will now use this lens as a standard part of my kit.

I bought this lens after carefully reviewing test data for all available 150-500mm and 150-600mm supertelephoto zooms, and reviewing a lot of sample photos on Flickr. The Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD/Model A011N consistently ranked second behind the much more expensive Sigma 150-600mm Sports series lens, and ahead of other equally priced options. When I received the lens I did around 500 test shots using a D810 body. Results are consistently better than published test data for this lens. Performance is best by far at the sharpness peak of f/8.0 and the improvement at f/11.0 is minimal, and this is consistent with most super telephotos in this class. The stabilisation works very nicely and allows shooting with a monopod at speeds as low as 1/100. No problems ... MoreI bought this lens after carefully reviewing test data for all available 150-500mm and 150-600mm supertelephoto zooms, and reviewing a lot of sample photos on Flickr.

The stabilisation works very nicely and allows shooting with a monopod at speeds as low as 1/100. No problems observed with vignetting. Colour rendering is excellent, and contrast still very good at 600mm. Like all super-telephoto glass, this lens needs to be handled professionally to get best results - shooting wide open as many amatuers do will not produce the same quality as shooting at the peak performance point from f/8.0 to f/11.0. Overall I was very pleased with the lens that exceeded my expectations for sharpness, contrast and colour rendering performance.
Took the lens on an African safari and took some awesome photos with it. I am very glad I rented it for my trip since I wouldn’t have much use for it at home. It is a great long telephoto zoom lens but has a minor design flaw. The auto focus and the vibration control buttons on the side of the lens are too loose and were constantly switching off. I hope Tamron puts some kind of lock on them or makes them harder to turn off.I would definitely rent from Lensrentals again.
Lens performed flawlessly! Appeared to be new. No lens creep even with a 66 degree elevation!Great picsExtremely well packaged. Return process could not have been easier!LR nice touch with the solar glasses, much appreciated!
Placed an order late in the evening on the 3/27, seller shipped the next morning, and received the unit yesterday, 4/3. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I was super-impressed as that was from New York to rural North Dakota... great service. Now for the lens... tested out this morning taking pics of bald eagles nesting from 500 yards away... very impressed with the quality! While I've only had one "test drive", super happy so far!!!
Rental process super easy and good experience. The Tamron lens zoom ring was very stiff and hard to zoom in amd out. Not sure if this was this particular lens being its a Rental or if all Tamron telephoto lenses are this way. The picture quality was very good however. I would rent from these guys again.
Although I understand the meaning of the word "Refurbished" and the original product that has been refurbished can be a store display model, a returned model, an open box etc. The company doing the refurbishing is suppose to return the product to as new quality as when it left the factory. So it should look and perform like a product off the factory floor. YOU STILL WONDER, about the quality of work the refurbishing company can provide. I took a chance and VERY HAPPY with the results. I've done a lot of research online comparing this lens with the Sigma equivalent. Because my past experiences with Sigma have never lived up to my past experiences with Tamron lenses, I went with the Tamron. The amount of research I did also created questions as far as if this lens is ... MoreAlthough I understand the meaning of the word "Refurbished" and the original product that has been refurbished can be a store display model, a returned model, an open box etc. The company doing the refurbishing is suppose to return the product to as new quality as when it left the factory.

I've done a lot of research online comparing this lens with the Sigma equivalent. Because my past experiences with Sigma have never lived up to my past experiences with Tamron lenses, I went with the Tamron. The amount of research I did also created questions as far as if this lens is capable of producing sharp images when shooting "Birds In Flight". Shooting static objects and getting sharp images in not the same as shooting a moving object and when it comes to moving birds, there's a whole lot going on with flight pattern, wing movement, head movement, backgrounds, foregrounds etc to get all in focus! I have been more than plesanty surprised by the quality of images this lens has delivered so far. Every day, with more practice and more experience with using this lens, the images are still continuing to improve! I had been shooting bird photos using an older Tokina 400mm f5.6 close focus prime lens, and have been very happy with the results from that. Wanting the extra 200mm of reach I decided to give this lens a shot and I am SO HAPPY I did! The images from this lens blows those taken with the Tokina out of the water! Clarity, sharpness, contrast, speed of focus, depth of field, all the checkmarks are in the Tamron's boxes. I'm sure there are better lenses and lenses that would be as big of an improvement over this Tamron as it's been over the Tokina. HOWEVER I don't have $12,000 PLUS to spend on those lenses! This is my most expensive lens to day, and it's been worth every penny plus I spent on it.
I live very near the shoreline of San Francisco Bay, and it was bought mostly for shooting shore birds (avocets, dowitchers, gulls, pelicans, etc.). The lens is mounted to a gunstock (the Stedi-Stock 2...B&H sells it. Cost of stock is about $80 and it works very well), which allows for more support than handheld, and much more freedom of movement than a tripod. Use has almost exclusively been at 600mm focal length. My typical shooting setup is ISO 500, aperture preferred at f/10. Shutter speeds typically vary from 1/1600 to 1/4000 when the Sun is out, less if it's overcast (as it often is over San Francisco Bay). Usually I use continuous-low shooting mode set at 3 frames per second; this is a good compromise between not missing shots and having to wade through a ... MoreI live very near the shoreline of San Francisco Bay, and it was bought mostly for shooting shore birds (avocets, dowitchers, gulls, pelicans, etc.).

Usually I use continuous-low shooting mode set at 3 frames per second; this is a good compromise between not missing shots and having to wade through a zillion images at the computer :-) Results? Very good with a D750 body, slightly less so with a D610, with the difference being the 750's better autofocus. Both provided a lot of good shots, but the hit rate on the 750 is higher. Is it the world's ultimate sharpness 600mm lens? No. Is it good enough to put a lot of impressive photos up on the walls in your home? Absolutely. It is, relative to the monster lens/camera combos of other bird photographers I run into out at the baylands: light weight, easy to use, easy to carry (and not nearly as expensive, too :-). Ease of use is more important than many realize; if it's easy to use, it's easy to talk yourself into going out shooting with it. It works surprisingly well for butterflies, too. Since you can be a long way off, they don't get scared, and the 0.2X magnification is enough to allow frame-filling images of larger butterflies. It's less useful for smaller butterflies, like skippers. The images (again, at 600mm focal length) from the Tamron 150-600 compare well with similar butterfly pictures taken with my two macro lenses (Tamron 90mm and Nikon 200mm). A word on the images: they are only 320 X 480 as larger versions would not upload (timeout limit). The lens is better than what you will see on your monitor.
