📷 Nikon + Tamron 150-600 G1 in 2026 — Still Worth It?
In 2026, many photographers are moving toward mirrorless systems, but does that mean older DSLR wildlife setups are obsolete? In this video, I revisit the Nikon DSLR paired with the Tamron 150-600mm G1 and find out whether this budget super-telephoto combo can still deliver great wildlife, bird, aviation, and sports photography results.
I’ll cover autofocus performance, image quality at 600mm, sharpness, stabilization, real-world wildlife shooting experience, and whether this lens is still worth buying used in 2026. With used prices dropping significantly, the Tamron 150-600 G1 remains one of the most affordable ways to reach 600mm without spending thousands on modern mirrorless glass.
We’ll also compare it against newer options like the Tamron G2, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, Nikon 200-500mm, and current Z-mount alternatives to see where this classic budget wildlife lens still shines—and where it falls behind.
If you’re considering a used Nikon wildlife photography setup, bird photography lens, or long-range telephoto zoom on a budget, this review should help you decide whether the Tamron 150-600 G1 deserves a place in your camera bag in 2026.

A key point you can mention in the video is that the G1 is still capable for hobbyist wildlife photography, but autofocus speed, stabilization, and 600mm sharpness lag behind newer options like the G2, Sigma Contemporary, and Nikon 200-500. Compatibility with newer Nikon Z bodies via FTZ can also be a concern.
