Tamron 150-500 mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD – Model A057
Zoom in on the image of your dreams
The 150-500 mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD features a very compact design, high image quality. This zoom lens achieves a 500mm focal length while retaining a compact size, with a length of just 209.6 mm and a maximum diameter of 93 mm, and will be Tamron’s first model for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras equipped with Vibration Compensation, so it’s easy to carry and comfortable to shoot handheld.
This new lens is compatible with many of the features that are specific to mirrorless cameras.
- Fast Hybrid AF
- Direct Manual Focus (DMF)
- In-camera lens correction (shading, chromatic aberration, distortion)
- Camera-based lens unit firmware updates
- Eye AF
enjoy comfortable handheld shooting with a compact full-featured, full-frame 500mm lens
- Considering its pairing with mirrorless cameras, TAMRON pursued a compact size that allows handheld shooting while developing the 150-500mm F5-6.7. Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens has a suppressed length of around 283mm (11.1 in). Another distinctive feature is that the arc of rotation of the zoom ring is small—only 75°—which enables swift adjustment to the desired focal length with minimal movement.
- High-speed, high-precision AF means you’ll never miss a photo opportunity
- The 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom’s AF drive system is equipped with the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. VXD delivers extreme high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures exceptionally responsive performance. Even when shooting at the ultra-telephoto end with a focal length of 500mm, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 enables comfortable, stress-free focusing at all shooting distances from near to far.
Uncompromising high image quality throughout the entire zoom range
- In addition to covering a broad range of focal lengths, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom has high resolving power with excellent image-rendering performance across the entire zoom range. The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups. The effective placement of special lens elements—including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion) and hybrid aspherical lens elements—enables the 150-500mm F5-6.7 to produce clear images while controlling chromatic aberrations. BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating is used to suppress ghosting and flare, which commonly occur under backlit conditions. These features allow the lens to produce finely detailed images of a wide variety of subjects including wild animals, birds, nature and sports, while producing soft and beautiful bokeh effects.
