Sorry--I missed any earlier post you might have had on this lens, and am curious about your experience and what went wrong. I'm interested because I have one myself, and find that focusing in particular is VERY tricky. I recently did some bird shots similar to yours, where other objects in the field of view were confusing the focus. I finally had to mount the rig on a tripod, go to live view (I have a Nikon D800), zoom in, and focus manually. The results were great, but I'm glad no one, as it were, had a gun to my head! Thanks!

While on a visit to Cades Cove the auto focus stopped working and had to go to manual I have tremors in right hand so trying to handhold really didn't work . The lens had 6 years warranty so
I called they directed me to their web site all I had to do was fill out the form pack it and ship FEDEX cost $30.00 when they got it they claim 3 day turn around but the process was about 10 days
total. I use the lens on a Nikon D7100, I have tried it on a D810 and it seems to work better on the DX and less weight. I had the lens on a couple of 3 week cruises and one was to Alaska. The
trip in Denali was dusty and it got lots dust on the outside so I didnt get a detail report on what the problems might have caused the problem but I guess that might have caused the auto focus
to stop. I hope this helps and your questions answered. I can private message if you want to discuss the subject more. Thanks Jim
I got my Tamron 150-600 G2 back from warranty maintenance

Thanks and it just so happens i'll be in that area in July.
The park is full of outdoor activities, many trails to hike , lots of wildlife in the cove for viewing, picnic areas , and camping. There is no charge to enter the park.
I have scaled many in my life , they are very fine and small.

Second visit to the cove this year
I have a difficult time with the big Tamron lens handholding and I had to go to manual because the AF stopped working. The horse picture my wife made with a Sony bridge camera.
Thanks to all for checking my post and the nice comments. Oh the lens should be in NY for repair .
