TANRON SP150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC: Tamron delivers the longest focal length of any affordable enthusiast zoom on the market

摘要

The problem with long fixed-focal-length lenses is that they tend to have long price tags of the type that exclude all but those who can earn money from ownership, those who are simply well-off, and those who are prepared to sacrifice holidays, mortgage payments and a new car to get one. Even the cheaper of the two fixed 600mm lenses on the market retails for more than ￡7,000, and unless you are happy to gain the same reach from the ￡350 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 bridge camera, there are not too many choices available. For some time, Sigma has produced a very popular 150-500mm f/5-6.3 lens, but there's a new contender on the block in the form of the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC USD.
