This would be an awesome addition. No more need to use my 1.4 ext on my Canon Tele.

Orms you are the best of the best
droooooooooooling
Oh wow, this would be an answer to prayers! Would so love to win this… This is a big one from Orms!!
There can only be one. Sorry guys and girls. It will go well with my 6.3 frames per sec canon 50d.
Oh snap.
entered 🙂
Wouldnt mind having it,using a 300mm now and always envying my friends 500mm when we are in kruger
I can PICTURE myself with this lens. 🙂
spent another day dreaming and drooling about that lens instead of doing work 😛 think its time for dreams to come true 😀
I want one! NO I NEED ONE!!!
just entered, this lens would be awesome for some wildlife photography especially in the kruger!!!
That extra 200mm would be very handy where mobility is limited like in KNP. The zoom range will also be nice to have. Not fun having only a prime 400mm and an elephant walks out the bush 60m from you!
Tamron pricing is extremely competitive. Love to own one of these.
I will go onr further…this is a MUST have!
A must for my Birding!!
….just that little extra length…. and we are sorted!
Bought the Tamron 18-270mm from ORMS last year and loving it. Would be wonderful if I could own one of these.
OE… ENTERED 🙂 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE have a look at my work by following this link: http://www.facebook.com/dvg109

This is such an awesome lens. Now your subject will no longer be just a spec on the photo. Holding thumbs
Shooo!!!
Nothing more, nothing less will come from my breath…which smells fresh, just by the way.
So awesome will be absolutely wonderful to own it 😀
thumbs fingers toes nose. let it be me. let it be me!
Looks like a very handy lens to have in your bag.
Perfect for what I would like to photograph – PLEASE PICK MY NUMBER!!!
I am wondering – I already wrote via facebook – but now see only 42 comments, and my name not on this thread? is it a second competition?
Only the BEST for the best photographs!
There is going to be a red moon tonight and i only have a 200mm on a 5d 🙁
Used to have a Tamron lens on my Pentax SLR back in the 70’s, it was one of my better lenses
Hey guys, I think this lens is going to be mine 🙂
mmmmmmmm. A must for birding and wildlife!
This is what dreams are made of….BOKEH supreme!
The “Possibilities” are endless. Landscapes, Architecture, but I would definitely do Wildlife. Another two passions I have and would certainly be a PLUS to utilize a lens of this caliber, is for Surfers riding the waves on our beautiful shores , and Aircraft doing aerobatics at an airshow.
cool lens
to grow old in a time when such a lens is possible, is like being born again.
Let the gods of luck favors me this time so that my canon 50D could find a new partner. I will be happy for ages.
With a focal length range like this, one can get up-close and personal when shooting the great outdoors (in it’s natural habitat). A wonderful prize which will certainly be given a loving home for many years to come!
Has anyone heard when the tampron 150-600mm will be released? I have ordered one on backorder and still waiting. Thank you all.
Hi there, we’re expecting stock to arrive next week! If you are on the backorder list, Shawn will get in touch with you as soon as the lenses arrive.
