So of course, the day my new lens comes in, it's raining and thundering outside making it near impossible to give this lens a proper test like I so badly want too.... After sitting on the front porch for about 30 minutes looking in to the trees I finally saw a small sign of life, where this squirrel peaked his head out only momentarily. But, in that time I was able to get one shot off! ISO pumped to compensate for how dark it is today and it still didn't turn out too bad! 600mm hand held, f/6.3, VC on, 1600 ISO.

Is anyone shooting over 200 feet (60 meters)?
This was shot somewhere between 400-500 feet. Should I expect anything better than this out of the Tamron 150-600?
And a crop from lower right corner.

I know ime not normally happy with my long rang shots,i think you need expensive primes for those.
Discovered that just the other day -- thought I had broken something!

Got my first real test in with the Tamzooka today and I am in love with the results. All shots taken @ 600mm, handheld.

Great shots Matthew! Did you do any noise cleaning? If not, that is some great low noise camera at 1600.
Thank you! I really REALLY am going to enjoy this lens, I can tell.
I did about 10% NR on all of these, honestly you probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference with or without the noise reduction. This body shoots amazingly noise-free photo's at 1600 ISO. Which is great for wobbly hands like mine so I can pump up the shutter speed to 1/400, haha.Thank you! I really REALLY am going to enjoy this lens, I can tell.
Thanks. I've been dying to get this lens, but now the Sigma C 150-600 is throwing a monkey wrench in the whole thing. LOL
I'd say you couldn't possibly go wrong with either choice. I am finding how incredibly sharp this lens can be wide open @ 600mm. Can't wait to take a few more shots stopped down to f/8-10.
