Congratulations! You may be the last of 15-20 people to use that term in a subject title in 2015. 8-) 8-) 8-)

I don't have it but it has been getting rave reviews in two different Nikon user forums I am on. I bought the Big Tammy before having any inkling Nikon was going to come out with that. I am happy with my Big Tammy too, though.

Great lens--especially for the price. Very happy with mine--The VR is the best I've seen.

When I do a search, I always click on Advanced options and then I check the box for most recent.

I have one and I like it. The Bokeah is much creamier than the Tamron 150-600.

Its a good lens ~ Nice sharp pictures.

Attached is a photo of a Wild foal at 500mm

Let me put it this way if I had known about the Nikon 200-500mm I would not have got the Tamron 150-600mm.
Although it is a fine lens at it's price point of $400.00 less than the Nikon.
I'm sure the Nikon optics are better.
I like the fixed f/stop at f/5.6 at all focal lengths too.
