I traded my D7000 and Grip with mpb for a Tamron 150-600. mpb's service is great.

Gray cat says "Wuuuuutcha' doin?" LOL!

Sure is an impressive focal length range, no? 150mm to 600mm, in one tube! Wow!

Seems like very little front/back padding
The box could be longer.

150 - 600 is nice.

But he shoots a D7500, so we're really talking 225 - 900 35mm EQ AoV.

I opted for the Nikon 200-500 and am not disappointed, but the Tamron 150-600 G2 seems like a nice piece of glass.

Enjoy!

I bought the D7500 with this lens or one similar in mind. I can't say enough about mpb. Their quote was $50 higher than anyone else. I shipped out my D7000 and grip on July 24. They sent confirmation of receipt on the 25th and confirmed their quote on the 26th. I paypal'd the difference and the lens is here today. This lens is in pristine condition.

Gizmo is still playing with the box.
