Tamron 150-600mm G2 Lens Review - Surfing Photography on Sony A-Mount

In this video we fully test out the Tamron 150-600 G2 lens for Surf Photography and Video using the Sony A99II 42MP camera, and the Sony A77II 24MP camera.

This fabulous lens is also available for Canon and Nikon Cameras.

The lens is fantastic for Surf Photography, autofocuses extremely well and is sharp and clear at its 600mm full reach.

In this review we shoot still photos while positioned a long way from the action, and also shoot some 1080P HD video.

We also interview some surfers VLOG style. All such filming was done on the Sony RX100V pocket camera, and the Sony FDR-X1000V Action Cam.

Apologies for the roar of the surf in the background of some of these videos.

Next time we do this we need to use a clip on Lavalier Microphone and our Zoom H6 Sound recorder, to hopefully get better sound without so much background noise.
