AF 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057)
A unique 500mm ultra-telephoto zoom lens for maximum creative freedom.
The perfect balance between high image quality and a lightweight, compact design. The 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057) not only delivers high image quality but also offers excellent handling comfort. Despite its impressive 500mm focal length, it measures just 209.6mm in length and a maximum diameter of 93mm, making it very comfortable to use. As Tamron's first lens for full-frame cameras with Sony E-Mount, it features a VC image stabilizer that enables sharp ultra-telephoto shots handheld. The optical construction includes 25 elements in 16 groups, including several special glasses and hybrid aspherical elements to correct optical aberrations. The BBAR-G2 coating on the lenses minimizes reflections inside the lens and suppresses ghosting and lens flare, which are particularly common in backlit shots. At a focal length of 150mm, the minimum focusing distance is 0.6m, making the lens suitable for impressive close-up shots. In short, the 150-500mm F/5-6.7 is a highly versatile lens that is ideal for a wide range of subjects—from landscape and wildlife to sports photography.
