A very interesting supertelephoto zoom with a marvelous range. It is well regarded for its sharpness, and with built-in image stabilization on Sony bodies, even better. The Tamron is very lightweight for a lens of this focal length, quite sharp throughout its zoom range, and can focus as closely as 2.5 meters which can be very interesting at the 500mm length.
Roger’s take: Everyone forgets about this telephoto zoom, but it should be considered for all of you who are backpacking and hiking. It’s a nice sharp lens that is much lighter in weight than anything else available. You’ll need either good light or a tripod to get sharp 500mm photos at f6.3, but given that it produces great images – and with Sony’s in-camera image stabilization it’s a much more useful lens for Alpha shooters than it is in other mounts. Is the Sony 70-400 better? Yes, it is, but it’s a lot bigger, much more expensive, and not quite as long.
