I 'had' the Tamron 150-600 for a few weeks, Canon mount on a 1DMKIII older pro body. The lens was returned for focus issues in the AI Servo mode. Known issues on Canon bodies exist though Tamron had a customers lens and requested their body (7D) and say it performed fine............?
Well experienced Canon shooters such as Tony (Imagemaster) experienced same problems on newer pro bodies.
The lens is colorful and sharp. At f/6.3 it certainly requires some decent light to get it going on focus. Quality of build was very pleasing, weight was very easy to handle, it does get quite long when zoomed out to 600 which is where you will most likely use it.
It is well worth the money and if you are not a BIF primary shooter you will be very pleased. Hopefully there won't be issues on the Nikon release to deal with.
If anyone has more questions I would be happy to share my experiences.
