The Tamron 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is a versatile, compact and lightweight zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. The lens is equipped with the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, enabling it to focus quickly and accurately throughout the entire zoom range. The lens also features Tamron's VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism to ensure sharp hand-held images when shooting at the 300mm telephoto end and in low-light conditions. With moisture-resistant construction and weighing just 610g and measuring 126mm in length, this lens is perfect to take anywhere.
Lightweight and compact
The Tamron 28-300mm is very compact, with a length of only 126mm and a weight of 610g and is ideal for people who want to carry a smaller camera bag. Additionally, the lens makes it easy to frame accurately when shooting still and moving images while zooming in and out, such as sports and wildlife, and is designed to be comfortable to use.
Outstanding imaging performance
This Tamron zoom has an optical construction of 20 elements in 13 groups. It includes one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens element and an LD (Low Dispersion) lens element to efficiently control aberrations such as chromatic aberration. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare, producing clear images even in backlit conditions.
Equipped with VXD autofocus drive
The 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is equipped with the VXD autofocus drive that includes TAMRON’s premium linear motor focus mechanism to ensure that the focus is attained quickly and accurately throughout the 10.7x zoom range. The quietness supports photography and videography in conditions that require silence.
VC mechanism
Although it's compact, the 28-300mm F4-7.1 is equipped with TAMRON’s VC mechanism that lets users take steady photos, especially at the 300mm telephoto end of its broad 10.7x range. VC effectively suppresses camera shake that often occurs when shooting in the telephoto range or under low-light conditions, thereby helping users take sharp photos without a tripod.
