TAMRON 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony E-Mount

Product Description

The Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD is a versatile ultra-telephoto zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. With an 8× zoom range from 50mm standard focal length to 400mm ultra-telephoto reach, it is suitable for wildlife, bird, sports, travel, landscape, and everyday photography.

The lens features Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor autofocus system for fast, precise, and quiet focusing. Its VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilisation helps minimise camera shake during handheld shooting, particularly at longer focal lengths. The optical design includes 24 elements in 18 groups, incorporating specialised XLD, LD, glass-moulded aspherical, and hybrid aspherical elements to help control aberrations and maintain image quality.

With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.25m at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, this lens also supports close-up photography. BBAR-G2 coating helps reduce flare and ghosting, while moisture-resistant construction, a fluorine-coated front element, a zoom-lock switch, and compatibility with Tamron Lens Utility provide added convenience for photographers working in varied conditions.
