![]() ![]() The Tamron weighs in at just shy of 2Kg while the Sigma tips the scale at a little over 1100g. This also translates into weight and this is where the real difference between the two lenses can be found. The Tamron is much beefier with a larger front element (as we shall see in a moment) and a thicker build all around. Length alone does not tell the full story here. Surprisingly, the hood on the Sigma is 1cm longer than that of the Tamron (7.5cm vs. ![]() 22cm Tamron) and exactly the same length when fully extended (29cm). Talking about size and weight, both lenses have about the same length closed down (21cm Sigma vs. While both lenses are well made it is clear that the Tamron is significantly more robust but this might also have to do with its larger size and weight. The front element of the Tamron 150-500mm The Tamron also seems to have more advanced elements with no less than 5 low dispersion elements one extra-low depression element and 2 hybrid aspherical elements. The Tamron has a somewhat more complex design with 25 elements compared to 22 of the Sigma, both in 16 groups. We of course still encourage you to watch each individual review which has a lot more information on each of these lenses.Īlthough the Tamron might be closer in nature to the new Sigma 150-600mm lens that we shall review here soon, the Sigma 100-400mm might appeal to a somewhat different audience as we shall see as we go through this comparison. After we recently reviewed both the new Tamron 150-500mm and the Sigma 100-400mm lenses we have been asked how they compare to one another so we decided to make a side-by-side comparison of the Tamron 150-500mm vs. ![]()
