You didn't mention your use, but this is my 2cents. I have a Tamron 150-600 (225-900 on the d7200). I use it for wildlife on my D7200 and D750. It works great for that, but is large and not a lens that you can use on a daily basis. Focus distance is over 8 feet and it is large to cary around. All the 150-600s are similar in that respect -great for wildlife and not much more. I also have the Nikon 70-200 f4 (107-300 on the D7200). Focal distance is under 3.5 ft. It is one of my favorite and sharpest lenses. It is small and great for travel. The lens sell for about $1400 new and under $1000 refurbished (they don't come up to often). This is an FX lens, I wouldn't spend money on DX lenses in case you wanted to get an FX camera in the future

The conversation was about the quality and properties of a lens, nothing to do with art or the critique of a photograph. There are many "Professional Photographers" who have never studied art and have no understanding of composition, color theory, or design, but they call themselves Pros. This has nothing to do with Pros and Amateurs. A real artist doesn't have to delineate between a pro and amateur, his work will speak for itself.
I have the Tamron 150-600 and like it very much. I use it on my D750 and D7200.
I got it when it was first available for Nikon in 2014. Wow, I still have 4 years left on my warrantee.
It is my only non-Nikkor lens.
Also, Tamron has great customer service. I've sent it back for updates and they were great. You can actually talk to someone there.
You can check out some of my images with the Tamron on my Flickr site.

When I initially input images into LR they sometime are not in order, but when they are in the library, they are in order.
Larger DPI creates larger file size.
72 dpi works great for video.
Make your image for display on an HD TV monitor 1920 x 1080.
That is the broadcast standard for 1080 HD.
1080 is 1920x1080 72ppi
720 is 1080x720 72ppi
1920 x 1080 -72ppi
or
1080 x 720 -72ppi
I haven't looked for one.
I recently got the Tamron 150-600. I'm using a D750 with it.
It works great. Focuses quickly and is light for that size lens. Most of all it is Sharp. I use it with a monopod with VC on.
I read that its sharpest at F8.
See the attached photos.

@600mm, f6.3, 1/4000sec iso 500 - slightly cropped
I just got the lens too and used it for the first time this past weekend. I'm using a D750 and a monopod with the VC on. It's sharp, light, works great. I read the lens is sharpest at F8.
You'll be very happy with it.
