I am selling my original series 150-600mm zoom as I have purchased the later version.

This lens was carefully used and is in like-new condition. However, so that it's new owner would have the utmost confidence in it, I sent it off to Tamron for a Clean and Check.

Asking $700 + shipping from Florida.

I have this same lens for Nikon but I have the G2 series. I presume that the G2 series is a later version. I really like this lens. Just wish I could get out more and use it.

I now have the Generation 2 (G2) also, yes it is the later model with some improvements. I liked the original, and I like new and improved version as well.

I have the earlier version for Canon and it's the lens I use the most - 90% - of my time. I'm an amateur nature photographer and have shot bobcat, birds, bighorn, deer and many more along with landscapes in nature preserves. I really appreciate this lens - with the only exception it's lens is a f6.5. I am 80 and the lens is a bit heavy to carry, but I still carry it where ever we go.

My use is much like yours - wildlife and birds. The fact that the lens is not faster does not bother me at all - I wouldn't shoot with a larger aperture even if I could. I'm in my 70's and I too would like a lighter lens although I wouldn't settle for one that was not as rugged.

Madman, I agree with you wholeheartedly, except many of my photos are late in the day. This is why I would like more light. Keep 'shooting'!

I am curious. Can a Tamron 150-600mm be converted by removing the adapter from a Nikon and be replaced with a Canon adapter or vice versa or is the connection permanent?

Not something I would attempt - the cost of a used or refurbished lens doesn't justify (imho) the time or effort.

I would upgrade my camera to one less noisy at higher ISOs before I would restrict my shutter speed or depth of field. I shoot at ISO 6400 fairly often.
