Tamron 150-600mm vs. Canon 100-400 II bird photos.

Your work is always stunning. I think the Canon 100-400mm II shots are more natural looking. I also have the Tam 150-600mm & Canon 100-400mm and like what i am seeing of the new II 400. The 23"-30" focusing sounds awesome.

Great work as usual Regis. Bearing in mind the Canon 100-400 mk 2 costs double what the Tamron does I wonder how Tamron have produced such a good lens for the money. How ever I am wondering now that the Canon 100-400 mk 1 will cost about the same or slightly less than the Tamron albeit 2nd Hand, I wonder how that Canon will compare to the Tamron. I have a good mind to rent one and try it the same way you have Regis. If I do now that spring and better light and more birds are starting to show, I will let you know the outcome.

Your welcome, Bill. If I didn't have a nice income tax refund, I wouldn't be buying the Canon 100-400 II.

The AARP ( I'm retired ) did my return for free. They will do any one's Income Tax, regardless of your age if it's uncomplicated (no stocks, bonds, etc.) and you have less than $60,000-$70,000 income a year.

Thanks for the info, Bill

Regis, I bought the Tamron after you posted your photos of the lake scene. I was amazed at how sharp it was. I'm still very happy with it and thank you for sharing your thoughts on the two lenses. You could easily be a great salesman for Tamron or Canon for that matter!

Thank you, Brent. I will still use the Tamron 150-600mm most of the time because it is a great lens for $1,069.00. It has the reach and sharpness. I have many lenses like a lot of people have and the new Canon 100-400mm II will be a happy addition, but it will not replace my Tamron.

I was at my favorite local camera store in Santa Ana the other day & talked to one of the knowledgeable salesmen. His comments to me were pretty much what Regis illustrated. Can't see spending an extra $1000 for the Canon.
I sold my old 100-400 to buy the Tamron and have put any doubt about my decision to rest.
Has anyone done any micro adjustments with the Tamron on a 7D II ? Any improvement?
