Tamron 50-400mm f4.5-6.3 Di III VC review
  • Written by

Samples

The following images were taken with the Tamron 50-400mm f4.5-6.3 Di III VC lens mounted on a 42MP Sony A7R II camera. The images are RAW files developed in Lightroom 12.0/CRAW 15.0 from RAW to Adobe Color profile with Adobe’s lens profile compensating distortions. I didn’t compensate for vignetting as I found it quite natural. Noise-reduction was set to 0 (even with images shot at high ISO), sharpening to 50/0.5/36/10. I applied exposure compensation plus some extra tone, color, or saturation adjustment in my shots at the zoo to produce more pleasing images which are closer to what one would normally do when processing RAW files. And some images are slightly cropped.

The individual exposure details are stated for each image. All of my high resolution Tamron 50-400mm f4.5-6.3 Di III VC sample images are available to download in their original formats for analysis at Flickr.
