Perfect balance between high image quality and a light, compact design
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 Di III VC VXD not only delivers high image quality, but it is also offers high operating convenience. Despite the remarkable 500mm focal length, it is very comfortable to use with a length of only 209.6 mm and a maximum diameter of 93 mm. As the first Tamron lens for full-frame cameras with Sony E-Mount, it is equipped with a VC image stabilizer, which enables sharp ultra-telephoto shots from the free hand. The optical structure comprises 25 elements in 16 groups, among them several special glasses and hybrid aspheres for correcting optical aberrations. The BBAR-G2 coating of the lenses minimizes reflections inside the lens and suppresses ghost images and lens flares, which are particularly common in backlit photos. With a focal length of 150mm, the closest focusing distance is 0.6 m, which means that the lens is also suitable for impressive close-ups. In short: The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is a very versatile lens that can be used for many motifs – from landscape to wildlife to sports photography.

Features and Functions

• Fast and precise autofocus – so that you always capture the perfect moment in the image!
  The 150-500mm F5-6.7 has a VXD autofocus with a powerful linear motor. The advantages of the VXD technology lie in the high speed and precision of the focusing. The autofocus reacts at lightning speed and reliably focuses on dynamic motifs such as athletes, fast vehicles, wild animals or birds. The linear motor works quietly and with low vibration, so that the lens is suitable for both photo and video recordings.

• VC image stabilization for sharp, detailed ultra-telephoto shots from the free hand
  When shooting with long focal lengths, even the smallest movements and vibrations of the camera can lead to blurred results. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is therefore equipped with an image stabilization system that enables sharp shots even without a tripod by compensating for unwanted camera movements. The VC image stabilizer is particularly advantageous with ultra-telephoto shots and in low light, for example in the evening or indoors. Depending on the motif, three VC settings are available, including a “pull-along mode”.

• For compact system cameras
