The Tamron 100-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD (Model A035) is a highly portable,
ultra-telephoto zoom lens with AF precision for shooting instantaneous movement
with the utmost clarity. With this effectively positioned, extraordinary glass LD (Low
Dispersion) lens, aberrations typical with many telephoto lenses are a thing of the
past. Tamron’s proprietary eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency)
Coating suppresses reflections, yielding vivid images of amazing clarity. And thanks
to a lens barrel made primarily of magnesium, the A035 boasts the lightest weight
in its class*, making it ideal for handheld shooting over long periods of time. With
a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 1.5m and a maximum image magnification
ratio of 1:3.6, the A035 lets you soften the foreground or background to dramatically
emphasize your subject at close range. Moisture-Resistant Construction and a fluorinecoated
front element provide additional protection when shooting outdoors.

 And so when I did my image quality review here of the Tamron, which you definitely want to take a look at that if you haven't already, you know, I noted once again that the image quality is exceptional, and you know, while there is some very minor give and take with the Canon, it basically is pretty much as good. The Canon has a little bit better wide open contrast, and I find it definitely has a little bit more better light transmission, but at the same time, it's also guilty of some pretty serious focus breathing, and the Tamron is not. And so, you know, there's kind of strengths on both sides. But what I really wanted to determine is if the Tamron could do a better job in keeping up with action

6. It is a VC-USD lens. Now, earlier this year when I did a review of the Sigma 100-400mm contemporary lens, I was really impressed with the actual image quality from a lens that, you know, cost a fraction of like the Canon 100-400mm L Mark II lens that I typically use for this kind of work, and the Canon often cost in excess of $2,000. Sigma came out with this lens at $799, and after I did my image quality comparison, people were just blown away, as I was, with the resolution and the image quality from the lens and really, you know, getting ready to sell their Canon gear, and I said, well, just wait, because I knew having already started to shoot the test that it just wasn't really ready to keep up with the action that a lot of people will want to shoot with a focal length like this

Everything from some outdoor sporting events and maybe being indoor under decent light, but also things like, you know, bird in flight or wildlife. And so I just didn't feel like it really had the autofocus speed to keep up with a lot of those situations, at least in my test

 So we're gonna see as we move through this series, I had him running, just sprinting towards me, and what I found is that despite the fact that there is a lot of stuff going on here, and I was just bursting as quickly as what the Canon 5D Mark IV could do, we could see that despite, you know, some movement in the frame, other things that could, you know, grab attention, we can see that it has actually done a remarkably good job of tracking focus accurately throughout this, and so if you're dealing with a little less challenging object and maybe just slightly less speed than the small dog moving at speed, it's actually done a really remarkable job, and this was true of all the series that I shot, and I won't bore you with all of those here, but I thought I'd take you all the way through one, and there's just one shot here that I remember towards the end where autofocus wasn't right, and out of that, though, like 40 something different frames, autofocus was keeping right up. There it is right there, for whatever reason, autofocus seems to have moved too far ahead, but next frame, it's right back on there, and so we can see, you know, maybe starting to lose it here, it's perfect, starting to lose it here, focus goes out here, but even though you start and get close to the camera, it picked it right back up, and so that was great to see there, and so, you know, all in all, a pretty strong performance in terms of the focus, speed, and accuracy with the lens. So as you can see, the report here is a lot more positive, at least with this copy that I've reviewed, and so I've now shot it on both full frame and APS-C bodies, and, you know, afterward, I did do a very, very minor calibration on the wide end, but, you know, bottom line is the 400 millimeter telephoto in was pretty much bang on out of the box, and I needed like a plus one or two on the wide end to have that nailed down as well. So a really positive autofocus accuracy report, but beyond that, as you could see, a surprisingly strong performance when it came to the tracking, and while I still think that the Canon is the best of the bunch, you know, it helps having that little extra bit of light transmission, and of course, you know, the first party autofocus system, and it has one of Canon's best, but frankly, the Tamron seemed to be every bit as fast in my just kind of focus test, and it was able to keep up with action nearly as good, and depending on what kind of action you're doing, it can nail it pretty much perfectly as we saw, and so a lot of encouraging things there, and so a while I'll come back to you with my final verdict, and I'll have a kind of a shorter segment that just kind of gives you an overview of all of these things, also a look at the VC performance, but you know, I'm feeling pretty positive about this lens, that it's a lot of bang for the buck, and so stay tuned for my final verdict coming in a few days, along with my written review

Tamron 100-400mm VC | Autofocus and Tracking Review | 4K

Hi all, I’m looking for a higher end telephoto for my camera. I’m looking to do sports photography when my university opens back up again. It'd be nice if it had the length or flexibility with extenders to be useful for wildlife and more general photos but it’s not strictly required. I’m planning to start at a grand for the price, and can extend that if I need to. I’ve only looked at first party lenses bar the Tamron 100-400.

IS would be nice but it isn’t a hard need, I’m only looking at EF mount telephotos so I can use it on my current body (EOS M5). And if I need to upgrade it’ll work on a 7D II, or on a newer R body. Size isn’t an issue here, I have enough used stuff I could trade for a 50-200 or a 55-250 if I felt it was too big. I’m looking at several lenses (and have yet to get into third party offerings), and I’m aiming to knock it down to two or three to rent and decide from that. Here’s what I’ve looked at so far. 

&amp;#x200B;

The EF 70-200 2.8L IS USM is highest on my list, it’s very versatile and on my crop body can still give me around 325mm of reach. If it’s not long enough I can put it on an extender and still have a fairly bright aperture. Reviews speak highly of it, I’m thinking it’d be a great compliment to my 17-55. 

EF 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS, not as fast or constant as the 70-200s, but it does net a little more reach. I had a buddy that rented one and it was tack sharp.This one also on the list, might get this instead of an old 100-400L. 

300mm 2.8L is also on my list, it’s got superb image quality. I was recommended to rent this too, even though it’s not as flexible as it’s a prime. It seems amazing and it’s probably a good compliment to a 70-200 on another body. That setup seems beyond what I need. 

EF 100-400 4.5-5.6L, I’ve heard a lot of conflicting reviews on this. A lot of people say it’s not very sharp, a lot of people swear by it. It’s quite possible that the IS II version that’s out of my budget is just much improved over the older design.

EF 70-200 F/4L IS, I’ve heard that this lens is sharper than it’s 2.8 counterpart, you also get a stop or two more of IS than the 2.8 version. That may matter more in low light. Another thing to note is that it’s lighter and narrower and it might be easier to handle on my small camera body. 

Tamron 100-400 4.5-6.3, I’ve heard great things about this lens. I could buy it new and stay within my budget, it seems like a pretty wonderful value for the money. It’s also compatible with teleconverters. It’s slightly slower on the long end. Thing is, the R6 is on the list of the camera bodies I could get next and it seems it hasn’t been out long enough for anyone to compile a list of third party lenses compatible with 12 FPS. That would be an issue if I go down that route. 

EF 80-200 2.8, this is the cheapest lens on my list. It doesn’t have IS, it uses an AFD motor. Image quality is supposed to be great on this. Here’s the thing, they’re all 25 years old at the newest and I’d be worried about getting parts for this. I can deal with the weight, but I’d rather not be stuck with a paperweight if something breaks on this or it needs service. There are better options and it’s not advised to use an extender on it either.

I would appreciate some help picking out a tele lens for sports

Lens is good but bit heavy need to build some muscle to use this lens. Giving less stars because of worst amazon policy they are reducing the price every 2 days around 50$ and they don’t do price match and need to return old order and get new one which is stupid. I bought for 812 and now the price is in 600-700 range which is nuts

Good lens but stupid amazon policy

 Yes 800 bucks is a good amount of money but if you're looking to reach out and grab those images and you don't want to spend a ton more money like in the two $3,000 range this may be a great option for you to look at. The color, the tones, the clarity, the sharpness, I was happy with what I saw, there's always little imperfections and that's why I give you the raw files so you can download and determine if they're right for you. So is this a lens that might be right for you? If so leave me a comment down below, if it's not let me know why not and that's it. Don't forget to like, subscribe, comment and share and check out other videos like this where there's unboxings and sniff tests, you can click up on the screen as soon as I'm done doing this outro and there it is Jared Polin froknowsphoto

 Now I was pretty surprised at how sharp this lens was. When I took photos through a fence of the bald eagle you could see how sharp the eyeball was and look at the feathers around its neck. That's pretty amazing to shoot through the fence like that, blow that out of focus and get a super sharp image of the bald eagle. I got some really nice results shooting the lion as well

TAMRON 100-400 LENS REVIEW | GREAT for Sports, Wildlife, Nature & Photographers On A Budget

Hi guys, im not new to photography, i know how to use a DLSR camera and what not.

I have not yet bought my own camera but have been using my Dads D600 with two lenses a short zoom and telephoto lense (not to important).

I am wanting to upgrade/buy my own camera, ive decided a full frame so the D6 is what i would like to purchase.

Lenses...

Now i wanted to get a telephoto - EF 70-200mm f4L IS II USM which I've heard is pretty good and seems good. 

and for shorter range shooting like indoor and carphotograhpy (closeup) i needed a shorter zoom, I was originaly thinking either the 24-70mm f2.8L (the rest idk) or the 50mm f1.2L 

BUT recently ive seen this lense  

# Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Lens

why wouldnt i get that instead of spending more for the two lenses Telephoto + Zoom/Prime.

Now i know the Apature is smaller, so idk, what do you think i should do???

Thank you for your time, sorry for spelling and what not

Lens Buying Decision HELP

Great lens but unfair "deal" fluctuations

 To my eyes, the quality of those out of focus backgrounds looks really nice and soft. So, overall, the Tamon 100-400 is great to see on a market. It's pretty sharp, and it handles great, all while being comparatively good value for money. It can't do what Canon's latest L lens does, but it is less than half the price

 I'm not going to say that the Sigma and Tamon lenses are cheap, but they're certainly far, far better value for money. I have no idea what Canon, Nikon and Sony are playing at, but they've certainly left the market nice and open for competition. Anyway, let's look at this Tamon lens now. The lens itself has quite a plain design, but it's very smart looking

 It has better build quality, and the possibility of using a tripod ring. The Sigma lens I found to be noticeably sharper than the Tamon lens, particularly on full frame, but the Tamon has a much closer minimum focus distance. In the US, the Sigma lens is a little cheaper, but the Tamon lens has better image stabilisation, and I also noticed it has faster autofocus. Now, it's up to you which one to go for

 Sigma's 100-400mm lens I tested last year and cost $700 in the US, or about £680 in the UK. Tamon's even newer 100-400mm lens we're testing today is $800 in the US, but the same price as the Sigma lens here in the UK, about £680. I'm not going to say that the Sigma and Tamon lenses are cheap, but they're certainly far, far better value for money. I have no idea what Canon, Nikon and Sony are playing at, but they've certainly left the market nice and open for competition

Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 VC USD lens review with samples (Full-frame & APS-C)

I own a Nikon D7000 and I am considering of buying a zoom lens. I am thinking of either getting the 200mm kit lens or something with more zoom in the 300-400mm lens. Any suggestions? A variable telephoto would be preferable.

</div>

what are some good budget telephotos and what range of zoom should I go for.

Focusing  sucks. Maybe better on a g 2 series.

 Hi, I'm Dustin Abbott, and I'm here to give you my final verdict on the new Tamron 100 to 400 millimeter f4.5 to 6.3 DI VC USD lens. This of course is Tamron's newest lens in the affordable kind of telephoto category, and they are of course following up very successful releases of 150 to 600 millimeter lenses, both the original VC lens that kind of launched this whole category of quality yet affordable telephoto zoom lenses

 They followed that up with 150 to 600 millimeter G2 lens last year. Now this of course comes on the heels of Sigma releasing a 100 to 400 millimeter contemporary lens earlier in the spring this year, which proved to be an excellent lens optically that I was really impressed by. However, I didn't feel like it held up to kind of the necessary autofocus speed that's going to be needed for shooting kind of high action events, birds in flight, some sports, maybe just wildlife in general, or it just could be people that want to track their kids. As a result, I just didn't feel that it was quite there, particularly when I compared it to the much more premium Canon 100 to 400 L Mark II

 I eventually did a very minor one to two point calibration on the wide end at a hundred millimeters, but at 400 millimeters, I was basically dialed in with, um, with both camera bodies. That's very promising for a third party lens and, and I found that my autofocus accuracy during my review period was actually excellent. So kudos to Tamron on that. Perhaps even more importantly, when I went out and I began to do action sequences and tracking sequences, I found that the Tamron did a pretty great job of keeping up

 And for those of you that are value conscious, it's really hard to argue against an $800 lens that is competing in a $2,000 category that does so many things as well as what the new Tamron 100 to 400 millimeter VC lens does. If you'll take a look in the description down below, you can find linkage to purchasing the lens, to my full written review, and to image galleries that have a lot of samples there to look at both on full frame and APS-C. And yes, the lens survives the transition APS-C just fine, as did the Sigma for that matter. Image quality is still quite good
