Product details

The 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057) not only delivers high image quality but also offers great ease of use. Despite its impressive 500mm focal length, it is very comfortable to handle, measuring just 209.6mm in length and a maximum diameter of 93mm. As Tamron's first lens designed for full-frame cameras with Sony E-Mount, it features a VC image stabilizer that allows for sharp ultra-telephoto shots taken 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 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 suitable for a wide range of subjects—from landscape to wildlife and sports photography.

  • PositiveThe Tamron offers a very good image quality and an equally good workmanship
  • PositiveCooperation with the Fujifilm X cameras goes smoothly
  • NegativeCompared to competitors like the (noticeably more expensive) Fujifilm XF 150-600mm f5.6-8 R LM OIS WR, you have to make small compromises on resolution

The new Tamron lens offers Fujifilm photographers an inexpensive way to get into extreme telephoto photography. The compact solution delivers very good image quality and can be used creatively for many areas of application.
