Some people wanted regular photos taken att different isos, apertures etc.

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

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 😉
