It is interesting how cropable are the images obtained with the A1 + Tamron 35-150 combo. I guess this is due to the high MP count of the camera as well as the optical quality of the lens.
The following is a 7.5 MP crop from the image taken at 150 mm.
The effective focal length of the 7.5 MP image is 387 mm. I used Topaz Gigapixel to upscale the cropped image from 7.5 to 24MP.

Great shots!
Meanwhile i got the 35-150 and I am using it on my A7RM3. I didnt use a non stabilized lens an the camera for a long time and I have to confess that I get noticable less keepers than before.
How does the IBIS of your A1 handles the lens? It could be a reason to upgrade my camera ;-)
Seems we share a few hobbies, btw. Love Chopins Valse in a minor, too :-)

Sorry, I wish I could answer the question about IBIS on the A1 vs the other alpha cameras. The lack of lens stabilization was one of my concerns when I decided to purchase this lens, as a replacement for the stabilized Sony 24-105 F4 G zoom. In practice, I don't remember a case when the lack of in-lens stabilization was an issue. I often have the ISO AUTO Min. SS set to Standard, rather than Slow, when using the Tamron. Another relevant practical point is my habit of often taking several shots, when the subject permits this. I do cull heavily, and should cull even more.
I like travel, and I purchased the Tamron as a lens that should stay on camera most times, to be replaced by the 100-400 GM x2 TC for environmental (semi)macro and wildlife. This plan has worked well so far. My only complaint about the Tamron is that it is a relatively heavy lens, but I should not be complaining while using the 100-400 GM alongside the Tamron.

I agree. This lens is so close to perfect for so many things.
I'll be able to share images from a recent job with Traeger in April.
It was my first big job with the lens and I am so happy with the results.

Loving the samples from this lens. Please don't make me buy it!
The images I posted had been post-processed from the RAW. If these appeal to viewers, a great deal of the credit must go to the post-processing. A silly example to illustrate what I mean: when looking at paintings, we would not say that those we like, we like because the artists used excellent materials to produce the paintings. Thus, the lenses are important but not critical. It is true that the Tamron 35-150 allows collecting RAW data of the quality that facilitates post-processing, but the purchasing decisions should not be based on the samples posted in this thread.
In my case, I purchased the lens to replace the 24-105 F4 G, for travel photography. Others have successfully used the Tamron for events and portraits. Despite the fact that the Tamron 35-150 is a good quality, highly versatile lens - close to be called an "all-in-one" lens - it would probably satisfy only a dedicated photographer who is o.k. with the size and weight of the lens. It would not surprise me if some should find it too heavy and/or too big, and would resort to shooting primes, or using compact zooms instead.

Mine arrived yesterday, so I took it out for a morning walk through our 18+ inches of new snow over the past few days. I'm hoping that this lens can fill a few slots in my lineup, but definitely as a primary part of my landscape kit.

After seeing this thread, I now have to sell off a couple of cheap primes I bought as a filler just before this lens came out ... must ... buy ... now...

The images I contributed in this thread have been postprocessed, some heavily. If any of those look o.k., the credit should go to DxO and Topaz. The lens has worked well for me, so far - no complaints; nevertheless, if the proof of the pudding is in the eating, the proof of a lens is in postprocessing.

Images from this lens are extremely good also if unprocessed.
I usually go through C1 when necessary and Nik silver for B/W conversion.
One cannot process rendering.

It has quickly become my favorite zoom lens and is making my 35GM jealous. It almost never comes off the camera body except for when I specifically want f/1.4 or the few times I shoot wider than 35mm for longer than 150mm.
The resolution wide open is surprisingly good for a zoom.

Wow, just WOW...
I used Sony 24-105 and Sigma 24-70 and always decided to stay with primes, but this pictures are just amazing.
