I bought the Tammy 150-600 last year and hand-held it for a week of daily airshows. Got heavy, but I got some great pics. Got an a99ii this past weekend. I've only tried a few snaps with the big lens attached, though. I've tried to use a tripod or monopod, but I kept tripping over myself when planes zoomed past.

It does get heavy, doesn't it?!?! lol The first few times I took it out were for short little walks but went for a long 3hr hike last weekend and that's when I felt its weight! I am now searching for a strap or sling to to use when I'm out for extended periods of time. But I can't complain about the image quality

I've got that lens. It's excellent.

I was a little leery of spending so much on a lens but I am beyond thrilled with the images I've gotten so far!

My wife and I each own the Tamron 150-600 g2. All of our photos are tack sharp at all focal lengths. It is an excellent lens, have many years of great photography with yours

I'm still getting used to it, but I agree, it is an excellent lens. Looking forward to many more years of photography with it!!

Great shots of a rare bird to me. I also have this lens on a Canon 7D mk ii and am well satisfied with it.

Thanks very much, birdman! It's an outstanding lens!
