Tamron 150-600mm G1 vs. G2
I'm planning on renting a Tamron a little later in the year for an event. Rental agency only has the G1. Thoughts of the G1 in this case? Last event I rented the Nikon 200-500mm, which is fine, but I think a little shorter minimum focal length will help in some of the planned shooting locations, and I wanted to test a Tamron anyway, as I will consider which to buy next year. I just purchased a Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 G2, and for that, I'm pleased at the lens thus far.

Well, it may be a moot point, although I don't mind thoughts on the 2 Tamrons.
I found another rental outlet that has the G2 version for the same price, and will be renting from them instead.

The G2 has improved image stabilization as well as optics so thats definitely the one you should test

I recently sent my Tamron 150-600mm G2 back to Tamron for examination and hopefully replacement after having sent it i for repairs twice since I bought it in October. In the mean time I got theNikon 200-500 and find it to be much better in every espect. BUT, that may simply be because I got a bad copy of the Tamron.

You really need to take a look at the Sigma 150-600mm C before committing to the Tamron. I have the Sigma and love it.
