Thanks for this long awaited review Klaus!
It's all about the long end, as these super tele-zooms all do well at the shorter FLs! The lens does about the same as the A011 Tamron (G1) looking at the res. charts.
Two missing lenses as yet untested are the Tammy G2 which in my view is a massive upgrade from the G1 in both features and sharpness at the long end.............
...........and the Nikon AF-S 200mm-500mm F5.6 VRII.........this lens has a great reputation amongst wildlife shooters, maybe being the best of the bunch wide open at the long end, where it holds on to the very useful aperture of F5.6....and in practice that's very useful indeed....of course the lens covers a much shorter focal range.......oftentimes not long enough!
One thing for sure is how much these lenses have changed the face of wildlife photography for the enthousiast, with Flickr and other sites..........now every body can get a good sharp image!
