Hi everyone. I've released my final bit of coverage of the new Tamron 100-400 VC lens. I benchmarked the Canon 100-400L II (which I own and love) for this review.
The Tamron 100-400 VC is a very impressive lens at this price point, giving about 90-95% of the Canon 100-400L II all-round performance at about 40% of the price. That’s amazing. Unlike the Sigma 100-400 Contemporary, which was optically excellent but couldn't keep up with fast action, the Tamron actually tracks quite well on my 5D Mark IV (just slightly poorer than my 100-400L II).
Here’s my linkage:
