Worth the Wait

Arrived in very sturdy packaging. This lens appears to be well made and nicely finished. Autofocus is fast and image stabilization does a very good job (for those of us who are lazy about carrying a tripod. Images are sharp with the right amount of contrast. I've used Tamron lenses for many, many years and often choose to carry them instead of my heavier L series lenses. Kudos to Tamron for continuing to improve it's products. B&H, great company.

I generally shoot Nikon Lense but I find this 100-400mm lens to be a fine alternative to the Nikon. It compares very well to other lenses I have .

I used the Tamron 100-400 lens on my Nikon D750 with great results. Shots were clear and sharp, even distant objects such as high flying jet aircraft, at 400mm. No complaints.

Great for Bird in Flight (CIF)

Initially used Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 w/Nikon D500 & D7100. D500 focus lock/tracking and IQ for BIF were superb w/Nikkor but combo was HEAVY. Switched to Tamron 100-400mm -- much lighter, very good daylight performance. AF performance and thus keeper rate slightly diminished relative to Nikkor zoom, but I accepted the tradeoff. With D500, 37 of 153 AF points are rated for f/6.3, with D7100 only 1 of 51 AF points -- all AF points work at f/5.6.

Excellent on DX cams, OK for FF. Its size-weight are great!

This lens is marvelous on the D500 and D7500, with sharp and fast AF, on the D850 it loses its edge, but is still very good. On the Z9 it does a good job but not as fast as the Z 100-400 from Nikon (4 times the price), although the image is close. I have taken some of my best bird action shots with this lens due to its small size and lightweight, it makes it easy to track fast! I have the G2 150-600, Nikon 500 PF, Nikon 600 F4, and this $700 DLLs lens is always in my bag, it is worthy of action everywhere. One of the true gems for an open-minded photographer.

This lens is quiet, not too heavy (though I definitely recommend trying one out for at least half an hour to see the real effect of the weight on your arms), and lets me take wildlife photos that I'm proud of! I will be buying from Tamron in the future because I love this lens.
