The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di USD (A011S) is a super-telephoto autofocus zoom lens for Sony Alpha-mount digital SLR (DSLR) cameras. The lens has tremendous reach and a unique balance of performance capabilities that have proven very popular with outdoor photographers.
With a maximum focal length of 600mm the SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di USD lens offers as much or more reach than all but the largest high-end lens and teleconverter combinations. It's also significantly more compact & portable than larger aperture monster telephoto options. Since it's a zoom lens that can back off all the way to 150mm you get a level of flexibility not found with many other 600mm lenses; you won't have to worry if the action starts moving towards you. The 150-600mm might even alleviate having to carry a separate shorter telephoto too (depending upon the rest of your kit and needs).
Optically the SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD is impressive. Tamron has used 20 lens elements in 13 groups including 3 LD (Low Dispersion) elements in the highly corrected design to deliver sharp contrasty results at all focal lengths. The elements have BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) multi-layer anti-reflective coating and the lens also uses Tamron's new next generation eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) nano structure coating; all together the coatings really help keep contrast high and colors rich while minimizing glare, flare and ghosting.
The SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di USD has a responsive focusing system thanks to a built-in USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) focus motor. USD motor performance is much faster and quieter than earlier built-in motors or camera drive mechanisms and that's of particular value for shooting wildlife or sports. The lens focus mechanism also features a design that provides full time manual focus override so you can touch-up or tweak focus without needing to find the AF switch.
The rest of the lens mechanical are robustly constructed as Tamron SP users have come to expect (Tamron provides a six year warranty on lenses when new because they are so well constructed). While not waterproof in the underwater sense the lens does feature a moisture resistant design including elastomer sealing at the lens mount. The rotating tripod mount makes vertical shooting a breeze, it's also removable to save weight when you have to shoot handheld.
Anyone looking for the most magnification possible should consider the Tamron 150-600mm VC. It's a great lens, a truly remarkable value with a combination of strong telephoto reach, quality, and portability that just wasn't available previously.
