The first generation of Tamron’s affordable supertelephoto zoom took the world by storm when it was released nearly four years ago.  Never before had the market seen such incredible reach (up to 600mm on a full frame DSLR) in such an affordable, well executed package.  The lens wasn’t without faults, but even when later competitors were released from Sigma, Nikon, and Canon it demonstrated that it could hold it’s own.  But now Tamron has given the lens an 2nd Generation update (G2), which gives it the beautiful new SP design language including a better build and weather sealing.  It has improved the optical formula to help achieve better results and has improved the focus system as well.  The  Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 is compatible with the Tap In Console which allows you to tweak the focus at 24 different points.  It has more maximum magnification (and a shorter minimum focus distance), more modes, and improved VC (Vibration Compensation) which makes a notable difference in the steadiness in the viewfinder.  The handling of the lens is also significantly improved in several ways, including an innovative zoom lock that allows you to lock the zoom ring at any position.  In short, the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 is improved in basically every metric.  I will be reviewing the 150-600mm G2 quickly over the next week and will be adding photos to this gallery as I go.  Check back regularly for more info and new pics!
