Super-telephoto zooms have grown in popularity over the past few years, Tamron’s latest 150-600mm G2 being an excellent example. The lens is tough and well-built, and delivers very good all-round performance along with impressive image quality.

The only real downside is that it’s a typically big and hefty lens, measuring 260mm in length and weighing over 2kg. Going toe to toe with Sigma’s already well-established 100-400mm ‘Contemporary’ lens, this Tamron 100-400mm for Canon and Nikon DSLRs reins in the amount of super-telephoto reach, enabling it to be a more manageable 199mm in physical length and barely more than half the weight.

As such, it tips the scales at 1,135g for the Canon-mount edition, and 1,115g for the Nikon-fit version. The upside is that It’s much less of a strain for prolonged periods of handheld shooting, and easier to simply carry around.

Features

Features a fully internal focusing mechanism Ring-type ultrasonic autofocus, VC (Vibration Compensation) optical stabilization system like most super-telephoto zooms with a variable rather than ‘constant’ aperture rating, the Tamron has a fully internal focusing mechanism, so the front element neither rotates nor extends during focusing.

Equally typically, its physical length nearly doubles when zooming to the longest focal length. So while the lens is reasonably compact for stowage and carrying around, it’s still pretty big when shooting at or near the longest zoom setting.

The Tamron 100-400mm is an exceptionally versatile ultra-fax zoom with accuracy AF for shooting quick development with the most extreme clearness. LD glass forestalls variations basic in tele focal points while the eBand covering smothers ghosting and flare, yielding striking pictures with stunning clearness.

With a focal point barrel made basically of magnesium, the A035 flaunts the lightest load in its group. Include its 4-stop VC ability and you have a ultra-tele focal point that is ideal for handheld shooting over significant stretches of time.

Dampness safe development, fluorine covering, and ability with discretionary extras like the Tamron Tap-in Console, 1.4X, and Arca-Swiss viable tripod mount, balance this amazing new zoom.
