It is funny to see how this lens compares to Canon L.
But there is nothing strange. Just to squeeze the last part you need a lot of efforts/money.
E.g Tamron 70-300vc is very good lens, just to get a little bit more you need to pay extra 1000 euro. And then again C 300/2,8 IS is even better.
As already mentioned in previous tread I did test shoot with Tamron 70-300VC vs Tokina 100 macro vs Sigma 150 Macro. Even on 100 and 150mm Tamron zoom is distinguishable worse that two macros at center and corners.
What I’m trying to say with this?
For Tamron 70-300Vc owners. it is very good lens but don’t think that you have the IQ of 300/2,8 IS.
