Tamron 50-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens - Sony E-mount

The Tamron 50-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD full-frame lens for Sony E-mount cameras is designed to capture a wider starting point for a telephoto zoom lens, going from standard 50mm to 300mm telephoto and features amazing edge to edge sharpness and image quality. It includes premium features such as high-speed VXD AF motors together with VC (Vibration Compensation). This lens also has the premium finish found on new Tamron lenses, as well as having a Focus Hold programmable button and a USB-C waterproof port for use with the Tamron Lens Utility Software.

Optical excellence
The optical construction of the 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 VC includes 19 elements in 14 groups and is optimized for high image quality across the entire zoom range. The generous and expert arrangement of special lens elements, including two XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and two LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements, efficiently controls chromatic and other aberrations. TAMRON's BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating has been applied to suppress ghosting and flare, allowing the capture of fine details even in backlit situations. The combination delivers stunning clarity and contrast. Creative expression comes to life with uncompromising high resolution from the center to the corner of every image, while beautifully soft bokeh isolates the subject from the background for greater dramatic effect.

High-speed and high-precision AF with superb subject tracking performance
The autofocus drive is equipped with TAMRON's VXD linear motor focus mechanism. Users can easily lock in accurate focus from the MOD to infinity thanks to the high-speed and high-precision autofocus system. Additionally, focus tracking is extremely precise allowing users to accurately capture sudden subject movements. The linear motor also suppresses drive noise and vibrations during focusing, making it ideal shooting for both still photos and video in environments that demand quietness.

Half-macro shooting with an MOD of 22cm
TAMRON's 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 VC is capable of excellent close-range shooting performance. The MOD is 0.22m (8.7in) and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:2 at the 50mm wide end, meaning users can get exceptionally close to a subject to enjoy half-macro shooting. Even at the 300mm tele end, this new zoom attains an MOD of 0.9m (35.4in) with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1. The extraordinary level of versatility lets users highlight the charm of subjects and capture unique compositions only possible with this lens.

VC mechanism
This effectively suppresses camera shake that tends to occur when shooting in the telephoto range, when capturing moving objects, or during close focusing, enabling stable results overall. When shooting with an APS-C camera, the full-frame equivalent focal length ranges from 75 to 450mm, and the VC mechanism is especially useful when shooting at the telephoto end. The VC also reduces the degradation of picture quality when shooting in conditions prone to camera shake, such as dimly lit interiors or low-light landscapes. At focal lengths up to 100mm, AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies provide additional compensation with videography in mind.
