Tamron 70–180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 Lens for Sony E-Mount Full-Frame 

Product Description

The Tamron 70–180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 is a high-performance telephoto zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Combining a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture with a compact, lightweight design, it is ideal for portrait photography, weddings, events, sports, travel, and professional content creation.

The versatile 70–180mm focal length range provides flexibility for portraits, close-up details, and distant subjects. Its constant f/2.8 aperture delivers consistent exposure throughout the zoom range and helps create attractive background separation, making the lens particularly useful for indoor photography, low-light scenes, and creative portrait work.

Featuring Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, the lens provides fast, precise, and quiet autofocus for still photography and video. The integrated VC (Vibration Compensation) system helps reduce camera shake, supporting steadier handheld shooting at longer focal lengths.

Its redesigned optical construction consists of 20 elements in 15 groups, including specialized XLD, LD, and aspherical elements to help control chromatic aberrations and other optical distortions. Tamron’s BBAR-G2 coating helps reduce flare and ghosting for clear, high-contrast images.

The lens also offers enhanced close-focusing performance, with a minimum focusing distance of just 0.3m at 70mm. Despite its bright aperture and built-in stabilization, it measures approximately 156.5mm in length and weighs 855g for the Sony E-mount version. Moisture-resistant construction, fluorine coating, and compatibility with Tamron Lens Utility further enhance its versatility for professional photography and video workflows.
