I like the Sigma, the color of the rust on the canister is a richer sort of color, as well as the rendition of soft colors, make the sigma, my pick, but in fairness, they both are very close....

Why would you "want to say the Sigma is sharper"? Your credibility just went flying out the window.

On my suckey monitor, these images are virtually identical.

On further examination, except for slight differences in color and contrast, these images are virtually identical.

I am thinking the Sigma is looking better. What is the difference in the lens you used and the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM ( S ) Lens for Canon EF Cameras? I have a Canon T-5i and will add another camera body in the future so do not have any crop camera lens. I enjoy landscape photography with that said I want to take pics of animals, mountains, and other that are at distance. Any advice is welcome.

Mt, I enlarged both photos with download and the magnifier. I cropped both photos and It looks to me that the tamron is slightly sharper. "My opinion"

Why did my credibility just go out the window??
Because I had a preference, but totally ignored it and went with the data instead?
Tell me, how does that jeopardise my credibility?

I agree I think the Tamron is sharper, the white tank is brighter, cleaner and the branches look sharper

Because you have an obvious bias. I would have thought that too would have been obvious.

Oh, I agree.
And as Jim Bob said about his "sucky monitor" each of us in cyber land is getting a slightly, to vastly, different view.
So opinions would vary.
Printed, displayed on a wall, everybody viewing would see the same display.
I looked at the EXIF data for differences and only saw a very slight exposure time variance.
And I agree with Carter that the light transmission difference of the two lenses could easily have made that.
So, from my perch, on my display, my preference and opinion stands with the Sigma in this comparison.
Even though I own and use a Tamron.
Thank you for the comparison Carter. :-D I appreciate it.

Good news! A less than perfect monitor can save you a fortune in equipment. :D

First, thank you MT for taking the time to produce this comparison. It's exactly what I've been waiting to see so that I can make my choice.
On my 22 inch Dell monitor, after downloading and expanding, the Sigma appears to be the sharper of the two. I am looking at the ID plate in the center and the number 50 on the right can.
I will have one of these eventually.
Thanks again.

The ONLY definitive aspect of this comparison is how close they really are - as I would expect. HOW you use these lenses will be far more definitive !

It's like comparing a Ferrari with a Lamborghini. Does it really matter if one of them does 0 - 60 2/10 of a second faster?
