TAMRON 150-500 Z REVIEW! Good Budget Option?

We spend a week testing the new Tamron Z 150-500 F/5-6.7 lens made for the Nikon Z cameras. We test the autofocus, image quality, handling, and color rendition of the lens to see how good of a lens it is. Tested and filmed on the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound in Alaska.
