  • Excerpt: This super-telephoto zoom lens from Tamron costs around £865 and has an internal focus design and is relatively lightweight for its focal range.
  • Pros: Good resolution throughout the zoom range, Low CA at 200mm and 500mm, Relatively light weight, Filter effect control system useful when using a polariser
  • Cons: Higher CA levels at 300mm, Zoom creeps when lens is pointed downwards, 86mm filter size

  • Conclusion: We found this lens light and compact enough to carry around in a standard camera bag, so for a focal length of 500mm, this has to be an advantage, making it available
  • Pros: Lightweight and compact for focal length, Comfortable and easy to use., Good optical performance for the price.
  • Cons: Autofocus a little noisy and focus ring turns during AF, Chromatic aberrations OK but on the borderline
