I took 6 shots in sequence with each. Thay all look the same.

No tripod but I was sitting down on a park bench with my elbow supported by the arm rest. IS was on;AF was on. The 55-250 is known to be a sharp lens. The Tamron 150-600 was not designed for APS-C. I think that is the problem. The results from a FF camera would favor the Tamron.

Here's the overview shot.<div></div>

I am using a Canon SL1 with a Tamron 150-600 ver 1. I bought the Tamron used for $550. It had two small blemishes on the barrel that are inconsequential to the function of the lens. I have zero compatibility issues with my SL1. However, I did some comparison shots with the Canon 55-250STM. The results surprised me. I will try to attach some comparison shots. Bare with me if I run into a glitch. I shot both at 250mm for a comparison.<div></div>

If you Google 'why i switched canon to sony' you will find several articles covering that topic. The concensus seems to be that mirrorless systems are more compact and that Sony is the premier mirrorless system from a technological point of view. Personally I shoot an Canon SL1 which is a tiny DSLR. My favorite lens is the extremely sharp 24mm/2.8 STM pancake. I love that combination. I also find Canon equipment at bargain prices compared to Sony. I have no desire to switch.
