Looking for a lens
Earlier I had 700D Canon with 55-250 mm lens and it was on the verge of giving up hence recently purchased an R8 Cannon. Now I am looking for a good lens (atleast 600 mm) but i do have budget restrictions of max ₹1,50,000. Which one would be recommended?

I’m not sure about Canon lenses but Tamron or Sigma 150-600 would fall within your budget

Between the 2, better option?

I owned the Tamron 150 600 G2 lens and i found it to be very good. This was with a Nikon body though. The overall review of Tamron 150 600 G2 is positive

Great! Thanks 🙂

R8 is a mirrorless camera. Sigma or Tamron (both are good as per your budget), but they are built for Canon EF mount. So, you also need an EF to RF adapter.
-
The third party lenses (Tamron or Sigma), though very good & economical, said to have some issues with the auto focusing system of Canon R Series Cameras. So ensure good compatibility before purchasing.

and how to do that? as far as i know they dont allow testing

Then, you may do a good research online for extensive reviews on these lenses & their performance with Canon R8 by pro wildlife photographers. You can also consider Canon RF lenses like RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1L IS USM (though quite expensive) or RF 100-400mm f5.6-8 IS USM (quite economical but slow & usable in good light only) and may use them with canon Extenders 1.4 or 2 to achieve the desired telephoto range.

Cannon lenses are far beyond my reach. I am not happy with the range of a 400mm lens at all.
