Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VXD Lens (Sony E)

The Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VXD Lens is a compact and versatile super-telephoto zoom lens for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras that is well-suited to capturing a wide range of subjects, from dynamic landscapes and birds to sports and wildlife photography. The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups and utilizes special lens elements and hybrid aspherical lens elements to control chromatic aberrations. Each element features a BBAR-G2 coating to reduce flare and ghosting for high contrast and color fidelity. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism provides extremely high-speed, high-precision movement and delivers exceptionally responsive performance, and is compatible with Sony Hybrid AF and Eye AF features in active cameras. A minimum subject distance of 23.6" at the 150mm end of the zoom range enables dynamic close-up imaging and contributes to the lens's outstanding overall usability.

A versatile ultra-telephoto zoom for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras with a 225-750mm equivalent focal length when used on an APS-C-format camera body.
VC image stabilization makes handheld shooting in the 500mm ultra-telephoto position easy, with three modes: standard, shift, and framing priority.
XLD (eXtra-Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion), and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) elements greatly reduce color fringing, chromatic aberrations, and image distortion throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy.
BBAR-G2 (Wide-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating has been applied to lens elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity.
Rotating Arca-type tripod mount with integrated strap attachment loops.
Redesigned switches for improved operability, as well as a Flex Zoom Lock mechanism for maintaining the zoom position.
The included lens hood is protected by a flexible, shock-absorbing front frame to prevent cracks and damage.
The zoom ring's small 75° rotation spring enables quick adjustment to the desired focal length with minimal movement.
The VXD Voice coil eXtreme-torque linear motor provides impressively quiet, quick, and smooth focusing performance for both stills and video applications. It is compatible with Sony's Direct Manual Focus function and Eye AF on active cameras, and full-time manual focus override is available.
Designed and manufactured with moisture-resistant construction for use in inclement conditions, as well as a fluorine coating on the front lens element to guard against dust, dirt, and smearing. A
rounded seven-blade aperture contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
