A unique 500 mm ultra-telephoto zoom lens for maximum creative freedom. It offers the perfect balance between high image quality and a lightweight, compact design. The 150-500 mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057) not only delivers high image quality but also provides great handling comfort. Despite its impressive 500 mm focal length, it is very comfortable to use, measuring only 209.6 mm in length and a maximum of 93 mm in diameter. As Tamron's first lens for full-frame cameras with Sony E-mount, it is equipped with a VC image stabilizer that allows for sharp ultra-telephoto shots handheld. The optical design consists of 25 elements in 16 groups, including several special glasses and hybrid aspheres 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 150 mm, the minimum focusing distance is 0.6 m, making the lens suitable for impressive close-up shots as well. In short, the 150-500 mm F/5-6.7 is a highly versatile lens that is suitable for a wide range of subjects—from landscape to wildlife to sports photography.
