I saw some photos taken with the lens in Yellowstone by Ian Plant and they looked great. I wish it was faster but It would then cost more. I am thinking about to decrease my load when traveling.
B&H sent me a message that I could pre order for $1,069, but no delivery
Date was given.. I did not order yet, thinking serious about it.. I have the Tamron 200-500 , I use it for birding and shooting the moon.
BTW, it was on Amazon briefly for $989 or thereabouts. Only one left when I saw it, but now the link is dead. B&H I've used from the 80's, so I'd not hesitate to pre-order with them.
Adorama has it too for the same as B&H, but they have an "add to cart" and don't say pre-order. Try it?
B&H got 1500 of them in today
hope I'm one of the lucky ones who preordered and am on the short list!

Be interesting to see what the European price is like-usually a lot higher. In £s the US price looks like around £620, Australian £754
Expect they will be pricing against the Sigma 150-500
May be worthwhile getting on a plane!
In theory it should be around £620 but from experience we will be screwed as usual and the price will be about the same numeric but with a £ sign instead of the $. :-(
All the focusing issues with an F6.3 will be there - no matter how good the glass MIGHT be, AND, you better have a good monopod or tripod ready !

Let me know when you get it so I can come see it .....Thanks !
B&H emailed me that mine has been shipped.
Will someone give me (note: give me, not lend me) $1069 so I can buy this lens? What? No takers (or givers)? Why so silent?

The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 has been made available in the USA but not in Europe yet. Has anyone in the USA bought one and, if so, what do you think of it?
mine should ship next week according to Adorama
