[QUOTE="Blacktop, post: 603330, member: 22693"] [MENTION=9753]Scott Murray[/MENTION]. I've stayed out of this thraed for 2 reasons. One ,is because I don't know anything about the new Tamron G2 150-600mm lens, and the other reason is that early on they were some bad copies of the Nikon 200-500mm lenses with focus problems. I don't know if this is still the case however. My copy of the Nikon is sharp and has no focusing problems. I never fine tuned it to my D750. It is as sharp at 500mm wide open as it is at other focal lengths and apertures. Sometimes I use my Kenko 1.4 TC with it, but I rather not if I don't have to. Works great with slower moving wildlife but not very good for tracking fast BIF action. If I was looking at telephoto today, I would be comparing this lens and the new Tamron. I'm glad I don't have to go through that again.:) [/QUOTE]
