Is the tamron 14 150mm f 3 5 5 8 di iii good for sports?

Not really, if you're serious about sport. The 14-150mm is a travel zoom, and I'd call it a sensible all-rounder rather than a sports lens. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like 28-300mm on full frame, so the reach is there, and reach is what matters for wildlife and sport, where the subject is far away and moves fast. But it isn't stabilised, and at the long end it drops to f/5.8. You'll need bright light and fast shutter speeds to freeze action.

For casual sport, like a kids' sports day or a daytime match, it will do the job. For fast action or dim venues, look for a faster telephoto. The focal length guide explains why 200mm and beyond is where sport photography usually starts. If you already own this lens, pair it with a body from the list, such as the OM System OM-1.
