Tamron 150-500mm F5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Fujifilm

Telephoto without constraint

An intuitive and easy-to-use ultra-telephoto lens

Perfect balance between high image quality and mobility

The 150-500mm F / 5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (model A057) not only provides great picture quality but it also delivers great user convenience. Despite the impressive focal length of 500mm, its length of 209.6mm and its maximum diameter of 93mm make it comfortable to handle. Tamron's first ultra-telephoto lens for Sony E full-frame cameras, it features VC Image Stabilizer for crisp handheld shots at 500mm. The optical formula includes 25 elements in 16 groups, including several specialty lenses including the BBAR-G2 coating that minimizes glare inside the lens while preventing stray light effects that appear when shooting against the light . At 150mm, the minimum focus is 0.6m which allows the lens to take impressive close-up shots. It is very versatile, from landscape photography to sports photography through animal photography.

Features and functionality

Fast and precise autofocus to capture the perfect moment
The 150-500mm F / 5-6.7 features VXD2 autofocus with a powerful linear motor. The advantages of VXD technology lie in the high speed and precision of focusing. The autofocus is very responsive and is able to capture sporting events, fast vehicles, wild animals or birds with absolute reliability. The operation of the linear motor is low noise and practically vibration free which makes the lens usable in video.

VC stabilization for handheld shooting at 500mm
When shooting with long focal lengths, the smallest movements can cause blurry results. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is thus equipped with a stabilization system equipped with a mode selector (Mode 1: Standard, Mode 2: dedicated to panning and Mode 3: priority to framing). Whatever the modes and the situations one obtains an effective correction of the motion blur, even at 500 mm with freehand.
