SUPER-TELEPHOTO SHOWDOWN! TAMRON VS. CANON VS. SIGMA!!! 

I’ve got the Tamron 150-600 G2. It may not be as sharp as the Canon, but you can still get excellent results as long as you’ve got good light. And it’s half the price of the Canon :)

Great video and exactly what I’ve been looking for to compare these 3 lens.

Great video keep them coming!!!

Awesome videos man, you should post more often if possible. You're gonna kill it👍

Great video, very informative and balanced without hype or fluff.

Very helpful and informative, I have the Tamron 150 - 600 G2 its great in good sun light, I usually shoot about 7.1 - f8. Manual with Auto iso. Many thanks for sharing. Greetings from Norfolk UK 🇬🇧

fantastic job. detailed information. thank u.

Great video man ! Keep on ! :)

Very good review mate!

Excellent, well balanced and very informative

Great vid Tomas!

Why use the Sima Sport when the Contemporary is more like the Tamron in weight and performance?

Nice review. Thank you.

Thank you Tomas for your review here. Having rented the Tamron lens last year for a Yellowstone trip I wanted to try out the Canon 100-400 for this years trip. I think you just convinced me on what lens to rent this year. While I might lose some on the Focal length I pick up in image quality with the Canon. Have you used the 1.4 converter with this lens and were you happy with the results? I have watched a lot of these videos and would say that your photo examples here are some of the best I've seen. The photos depicting the catch of the day are fantastic.

UV filters degrade image quality unless they are brand new, perfectly clean and are the most expensive multi layer anti reflective coated types. Basically, dont use UV filters. Circularly polarised filters do offer a net improvement in image quality by reducing glare an incresing contrast.

Nice video i got one question are the whole Tamron lens water protected, or is it only mounting that is resistent ?

Thank you for the video. I need more reach than the Canon 70-200mm that I use. You have convinced me to go with the Canon 100-400 instead of just buying a 2X teleconverter. And I thought that 600mm is necessary. Awesome breakdown of the different makes!!!

Well done Tomas, very detailed. I own the Tamron 150-600 original version and I find it rather soft at anything over 450mm. As much as I liked your review, I was distracted by the TV behind you. You were great but it is just me who gets distracted easily. You and the lens, or camera, should be the main focus. Try to avoid any distractions like that in the future.

I consider the Tamron G2, right now i use the sigma 400 mm and i have just loved it so much

Dear Thomas, thanks for the wonderful comparison with great examples, it's very informative. I recently bought Canon EF 100-400mm IS ii lens and am using it with Canon EOS R. Somehow my photos are not sharp. I am not sure if it is because of some camera settings or something else. I would request your help and advice here. Please do the needful in throwing up some light.

Make more videos like this. You did a fantastic job Tomas.

What many reviews miss are that the canon lens will have built in lens correction for light falloff and CA which the aftermarket lens will have to be done in post.

great & helpful comparison! I have rented the sigma contemporary with my 90D and was very happy with it. I have had my heart set on the canon lens, but 600mm does make a difference, it depends on what focal length you specifically need. I have heard the sports version is superior in image quality, but I have actually taken some of my best photos with this lens (using a monopod/handheld). If you were on a budget, the sigma contemporary is really a fantastic option (minus the lack of weather seal if that matters to you), I might still buy it :)

How do these lenses work with the new R5 and R6 body's bird eye autofocus system? Does it make any sense to get the EF 100-400 vs. the RF 100-500? Do the RF lenses work better with the new autofocus features of the R5 and R6?

Every Tamron 150-600mm gs video I've watched only focuses on taking wildlife pictures. I take lots of sports shots of my grandsons. How does the Tamron compare to the Sigma Sports lens in this aspect?

great review and comparison. I have the Tamron 100-400 on my 80D for buy birds, and i also find i have to shoot at F8 or 9 at least for reasonably sharp shots. great lens at $900 (Canadian), but it's still not sharp enough and the AF just doesn't nail the focus enough (blame the 80D a bit as well)...I think the Canon 100-400 is next on my list as well.

Informative of the details of lenses,

Awesome review! Thanks! What is the different between Tamron 150-600 g2 and the previous version of the same brand?

Agree, great video

In your opinion, is there a place in a bag for the Tamron if the Canon 100-400 II is already there? For birding, I am pretty happy with the Canon - when the subject isn't a country mile away, but feel a need for more length, which is why I'm considering the Tamron. I've tried the Canon with a 1.4 TC with OK results, but I think the 100-400 by itself is sharper - even after the more aggressive crop. Do you think the Tamron is as sharp as the Canon with the Tamron @ 600 and a less aggressive crop? I'm primarily using a 7Dii.

Very Cool!

Great session Tomas as always. I bought 90D last week and my old first version Canon 100-400 IS 1 is not working well with this big MP size. Would you suggest if Tamron 150-600 G2 would be worth a buy. Looking for that 25% more reach.

I have a " Canon EOS 70D " dslr and I want to buy a new "Tamron SP 150-600mm f / 5-6.3D VC USD GG ". But in the future I will replace my camera body with a Canon Mirrorless body. then may I use the same lens for both of them ?

Hi Thomas.. I have a Canon M50.. I love photographing wildlife.. And I would love a zoom lens, which one would you recommend from these three lenses?? Than you

How do you feel about using a 1.4 with the canon lens.

Is there any difference in image quality between the sigma contemporary and the sport?

Good review.... only one thing .... you should have added the tamron 100-400 for comparisson..... it really stands its ground against the canon 100-400 II.... I own both..... but a question.... which do you prefer.... the tamron 150-600 G2 or the sigma 150-600 C?

So this is my question-I own the 100-400 II, and love it for sports. Is there enough difference that it would be worth it to also buy the Sigma 600? Perhaps save on some cropping when I can't get close enough to the field? I would appreciate opinions. Thank you!

U skipped the photos taken by the canon lens 😅 in the begining

I sold all of my camera equipment and have been agonizing over which of these 3 lenses to buy, and what platform to put it on. I had it narrowed down to the Nikon d500 and Tamron 150-600 G2. Then I watched this video and now I'm back on the Canon train. I'm sure I'll change my mind at least ten times before tomorrow...

I wonder if the combination of the Canon 100-400mm MII with the Canon 1.4 converter (mark III)(= 560 mm on full frame) is giving extra sharp photos too (comparable sharpness to the Tamron and / or Sigma photos at same length) ? It is a pitty that this combination was not touched (I know the combination is much more expensive than the price of the Tamron and Sigma lenses). I already dispose of the Canon 100-400mm mark II and I am considering either to buy the Canon extender or to buy either the Tamron or the Sigma 150-600mm. Can you advise ? Thanks in advance.

Need more videos for the 90d

Great reviews! One correction, tho. UV filters do not give you better photos. All they are good for is scratch protection. If anything, they make your photos more likely to get glare in them by adding extra glass. That’s why you rarely see pros using them.

What are your thoughts on the new RF f11 800 and 600mm? Are these new ones (RF 800 and 600) any better or would you recommend one of the ones mentioned in your video instead?

Exquisite video

Thanks!

Hi , I have actually a canon 70-300 and a saw on internet , a " doubleur ×2 III" I don't know how to say it in English sorry , so , can that thing can replace a Canon 100-400 or Sigma 150-600 ? I don't have a looot of money and my parents have other priorities.. And your video is very well explicated thank you all :)

Hi what do you recommend for 5D Mark IV since it does not have a crop factor

Should have added the Sigma 150mm-600mm Contemporary to the comparison, or instead of the "Sport" since it's more in competition with the Tamron G2.

is the tamron first gen worth it? 600$ used

I have the canon 70-300 I got for landscapes, incredibly sharp.. the 100-400 isn’t enough of a difference to the lens I already have. Maybe a second hand 200-400/1.4 is the way to go.

how does the sigma 150-600 Contemporary compare to the sport?

Which lens do you think won? Which lens is your favorite?

Can we use sigma 150-600 contemporary with canon m50 mark ii ?

i tested Tamron 150-600 G2 used in an airshow & for wildlife only advantage is that having that extra reach of 600 mm .its not comparable to canon lenses problem with this lens . 1) not that much sharp , looking for an average sharpness ....go for it ( I have DGS hsm art 1.4 ,50 mm sigma lens... its sharp as a razor ).. 2) focusing performance is not accurate and consistent 3) what ever you are getting that extra reach ,not worth if you consider the image quality , low light performance & IS performance . i never tested 100 -400 is2 , but i think its the best option ...killer option ..

Can’t help feeling uneasy looking at how the background of your video is tilted

Did you ever have trouble focusing with the tamron G2 at long distances?

Is the a review in your near future?

Liked the video. It was distracting to have the tv in the background running commercials.

It must be embarrassing! Canon: time 15:18 and 15:38 annonces an F/5.6@500mm. Now it's just that the lens is a 100-400mm. so where do they get the 500mm. from??? It may be my language skills that are not good enough as my native language is Danish

I love it ..what is your openion about canon 70 to 300mm usm 2 lens?

I bought my Tamron used for only $400. Best deal ever.

what do you think of sony 70-350+6400？

7:10 UV filter for digital cameras . . . that's a myth from film cameras, right?

Hi Tomas, Came from Michael's FB group. Exceptional Images !!. You did not mention about the AF performance of any of the lenses when combined with the 90D. Which one gave best performance in terms of consistency and speed. I would assume the Canon would be the best as its 1st party but how do the Tamron and Sigma compare.

If acid is falling on our camera gear, I suspect that wildlife capture might not the biggest of our concerns at the time. ;-)

What is the different between Tamron 150-600 g2 and sigma 150-600 Contemporary. Fan from Bangladesh ❤❤

I like the thumbnail to this video, that fish looked shocked 🤣🤣🤣

I just purchased the tamron 150-600mm lens, it hasnt gotten here yet though. I cant wait to use it!!! All i have is a 18-105mm and 70-300mm Nikon lens. They are a step up from kit lenses so i got lucky when they came with my first camera (Nikon d7000). (The 70-300mm AF-S 1:4.5-5.6G VR ED is a very sharp lens with no color fringing or chromatic aberration) i also have a canon 70-300mm lens and it is a kit lens BUT its a total piece of JUNK!!!!!😡 I don't know why a company would even build a lens like it, the chromatic aberration and color fringing is TERRIBLE in that lens!!!!! (I'd give it to someone that don't have a 300mm lens lol)! I just bought a Nikon d7500 and its a beast!!! It has a deeeeeeeep buffer and 8fps shooting. Its also great in low light. Only thing is its only 20 megapixels. (I guess ya have to make sacrifices somewhere) I enjoyed your video! Very helpful, THANK YOU! 💕😁

Wanna send me one of these 😂

The Tamron and the Canon do not weigh the same, the Canon is 400g lighter, big difference for hand holding.

Hii Tomos bro you give me a rf 15 35 les

Lower your BG music maybe? Great video otherwise

Sigma has one that isn't as heavy....just don't get the sports version.

I was incredibly disappointed by the Sigma 150-600 Sport, it's too slow, has quite alot of focus breathing, not very sharp and incredibly heavy for what it is. That Sigma is as heavy as my old EF 500 f4 MK2, making it just excessive for the quality the Sigma provides, the EF 100-400 MK2 is sharp enough that you can crop in and still maintain good quality at 600mm, the Sigma & Tamron? Eh.

🎖🦅Thanks Young guy, old guy-68- here who's considering that Canon or Tamron after Years of using Tamron G1 150-600. Fine teaching, enjoy my Hummingbirds Hawks video free on RU-vid, in search put SUN FLiGHT STEVE, hey, even has my music played by Michael Jackson 's guitarist Jennifer Batten. Shot with Canon40D, 7D, 7D2, & 6D, and post video,currently with a 5D4, so your video very helpful on the choice of Lens upgrade. Be well, keep Teaching Steve McC in Los Angeles

this review is full of mistakes

99% of these informations was already well known for anyone who did just a bit of research on these glasses. I was hoping to see IQ comparison,AF comparison etc...

Sigma is garbage.

I don't have to watch this I always choose CANON for Canon, NIKON for Nikon, SONY for Sony. Spare parts for repairs are readily available and I have Canon gear that's 50 year old and still function today. I tried 1 Tamron and 1 Sigma lens both of which failed within three years of purchase and no repairs were available because they had been discontinued. You get what you pay for. Kinda like Biden the President you have in office today.
