Tamron's updated G2 (Generation 2) lenses have been enjoying the limelight recently, but this first edition 100-400mm is equally impressive. It packs a real performance punch into a tough but lightweight build, and at a relatively lightweight price...
When I first got to see and hold the Tamron 100-400mm f4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens, I didn't think that it would be anywhere as lightweight as it is. To be very honest, I've seen and held 70-200mm f2.8 lenses that are heavier and in some ways bigger at least…C...

Overall, the Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens was a pleasure to use. I did need to adjust my shooting habits to handle this large optic, and my camera/lens/tripod adapter combo was not light of weight or short in size, but once I got past that I...
Inexpensive, great image quality for the price, very lightweight
Tripod collar not included, PRICE: $799
With its variable aperture, the 100-400mm lens isn't the fastest telephoto you can buy, but it offers a compelling combo of features and image quality for the price. It lacks the weather sealing and close focusing capabilities of its costlier and heavier...

So far these two are going almost neck and neck so the autofocus performance and pricing might become two decisive factors. As it happens, in both categories the Tamron prevails. Its focusing mechanism is faster, it works smoothly without any strange wave...

Tamron's 100-400/4.5-6.3 VC is a long telephoto zoom that's corrected for full-frame sensors and available in Canon and Nikon DSLR mounts. It's the first 100-400mm from Tamron and comes hot on the heels of Sigma's 100-400/5-6.3 OS Contemporary. As you'd e...
