70-200 III USM vs Tamrom 70-200 G2

I hope so

Guaranteed. There are two machines that, for me, were truly memorable the first time I used them. The first was when we put a Garmin IFR certified GPS in the airplane. The first time my buddy and I used it we were like little kids as we flew those first approaches. Next was my second L series lens ( 70-200 f2.8) on my first full frame. Pixel peep all you want, they're really fun.

Next you should consider the Canon 1.4x teleconverter. I also have the 2X and it is good but I gravitate to the 1.4. So on your 80D the new lens is 160-320 f 2.8 and with the 1.4 TC it becomes 224-448 at a still respectable f 4. So for about $400 you get another very good lens well suited to daytime sports and wildlife. I have also used that combo for some very interesting compressed landscapes.

Welcome to the cLub.

I thought it would be 112-320 with crop factor and with the 1.4xbox ~157-448? Either way, if that 1.4 can get me more sharp results than my tamron 150-600 g2 (240-960) I'd get the tele. Also, will this tele work with my tamron gen 2 lens?

It becomes 1.4*1.6*70 and 1.4*1.6*200 on a crop sensor or just 1.4*70 and 1.4*200 on a full frame.

Given you have the 150-600 the TC would be less beneficial to you. I would invest in something else unless you're not satisfied with your 150-600 but I generally hear good things about them.

Always remember that a Canon lens is designed by Canon to work on Canon. While third party makers produce some nice glass, they can’t collaborate with the designers across the hall, so to speak.

Exactly why I just went went canon with this lens. The 70-200 III is superb so I'm hoping for the same with the 100-400 II
