Some people wanted regular photos taken att different isos, apertures etc.
Feel free to download these raw files here
Coming on up this weekend: Photos shot at different focal lengths, stabilization and hopefully i get to shoot some birds for once. Hoping the sun comes out 
Available at Amazon here:
Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC SP USD Zoom Lens (for Canon EOS Cameras)
First off. I got to be honest, i simply haven’t had that much time with this lens so far. Busy weeks after Christmas. But today, i had an hour. The sun was out and settled this once and for all. Finally some low iso samples. This time i manually focused the Canon 400mm since it the focus was off. Might need to get that fixed before i sell it
Update: Available at Amazon here:
Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC SP USD Zoom Lens (for Canon EOS Cameras)
Something worth noting is the Canon being like half a step brighter than the Tamron. The contrast is a lot better on the Tamron.
Tamron 150-600 – f5.6 – 1/250 – ISO 400 – 5D Mark III
Canon 400mm – f5.6 – 1/250 – ISO 400 – 5D Mark III
The final 100% Crops.
Tamron 150-600 – f5.6 – 1/250 – ISO 400 – 5D Mark III – 100% Crop
Canon 400mm – f5.6 – 1/250 – ISO 400 – 5D Mark III – 100% Crop
So, this is the bonus part. I got my hands on a 70D. Finally some crop sensor comparisons as well.

And the 100% Crop

The weather is so bad this year. No sun, no snow, just grey clouds. Thats why this was shot at ISO 3200. I promise you to make something at ISO 100 or similar, wont make much of a difference.
The Canon lens doesn’t have a UV-filter anymore, from the initial test in my appartment, they looked equally good when UV removed. But outside, the same thing appears again, Tamron looks sharper.

Ive tried to test out the auto focus as well, but there simply aren’t that money birds around this time of the year. But all i can say is that it does hunt sometimes, but so does the Canon. It take a while to figure out how a lens behaves, so i need more time for a verdict.
I promise to update more as soon as ive got something to show. I work crappy hours for me to do day light shooting the next few days. But i will borrow a Canon 70D to show how it looks on a crop sensor for the people rocking the 7D and similar.

Finally had the time to put these bad boys head to head. And the results are really stunning. The Tamron delivers sharper equal images at 400mm than the Canon L lens. The bokeh is beautiful.
*Update: Some smart person commented about me having a filter on the Canon 400. How stupid of me. I actually forgot. Was using a Kenko PRO UV. Honest misstake people. Did a quick test at home here. Will try the same scenario tomorrow as i did today without the UV

You can ignore the photos below.
Both photos shot at 1/250 ISO 1600 (It’s dawn) f5.6. On a tripod on a 2 second timer.
No image stabilization. No sharpness added. Download the raw files here

For easier comparison, these are 100% crop images.
Tamron SP 150-600 f5-6.3 VC SP USD – 100% CROP
Canon EF 400mm f5.6L USM – 100% CROP
To end this, i give you the Tamron at 600mm.
Some random clips, more stuff coming. Just has quite the work load right now.
Please comment if you want me to try something out. I will be comparing it to my Canon EF 400mm f5.6L tomorrow. Wish i had a Sigma 150-500 to compare with as well. But when it comes to handling, the tamron is lightweight, fast and doesn’t sound like a small car when the IS is activated.
This has been on most peoples mind apart from figuring out of the lens is sharp or not.
You’ll be the judge, im quite happy with this lens.

Ive finally gotten around selling my Samyang 35mm since i got the Sigma.
I had a few hours left with the Samyang so i thought, what the hell. Put them head to head in a few short clips.
There are 2 things i haven’t noticed before doing this test.The Sigma has a wider field of view which i found pretty odd. It’s easily noticeable in my clips. The tripod was never re-positioned and the settings was never changed. I personally prefer it was wide as possible.

But on the plus side the Samyang seems to be maybe a 1/3 step brighter.
Give and take i guess. If you want some real field use out of the lens i would go for the Sigma, in a heartbeat. But if you want it for landscape, night or video.
Support me by using these links if you plan on purchasing.
The HX-series from Sony has always been one of my favorite camera series. It’s the perfect point and shoot for most people. Easy, fast and super good video.
I gave the Sony HX50 a spin a few months back, but forgot to add it here.
This explains that there is a difference in field of view when using differect stabilization modes.
A piece of Swedish summer. Regular clips.

Since the brand new Nikon J3 doesnt have any antialiasing filter i thought it would be a good idea to try out their video mode. Nikon has recently managed to squeeze out pretty good quality and resolution compared to Canon. Video coming later.
