The inclusion of an Arca-Swiss type quick release system compatibility further enhances usability.
Tamron has also introduced the FLEX ZOOM LOCK mechanism, adding to the lens’s overall user-friendliness. Despite these enhancements and the use of metal in the exterior construction, the SP 150-600mm G2 maintains a slim and stylish profile that is easy to manage for handheld shooting.
