The Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD creates an entirely new category for high-performance ultra-telephoto mirrorless zoom lenses.
Adding to their already impressive mirrorless lens lineup this lens should be considered for most sports and wildlife shooters.
Let's look further into this great addition.
With an 8x zoom ratio that begins at an unprecedented 50mm (commonly called the “standard” focal length for full-frame cameras), this new ultra-telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras is the same size as conventional 100-400mm zoom lenses, yet offers a wider angle of view for excellent versatility.
In spite of the high magnification ratio, high image quality is delivered across the entire 50-400mm range through the effective arrangement of special lens elements. Equipped with Tamron's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism that offers excellent quietness and responsiveness, plus image stabilization mechanism VC (Vibration Compensation), this lens delivers the versatile capability for all shooting scenarios.
The filter size is 67mm, the same as most other Tamron lenses for mirrorless cameras, providing greater convenience when using multiple lenses together.
The lens also features ergonomic features that support comfortable shooting, such as the adoption of a new lens design with improved texture and operability, and a connector port for the dedicated Tamron Lens Utility.
Because the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 provides up to one-half life-size magnification during close focus, users can enjoy the world of half-macro photography with excellent close-up shooting capabilities, with a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.25m (9.8 in) at the 50mm end.
All in all, the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 is a highly portable, versatile zoom lens that ensures users never miss a shooting opportunity, from the 50mm standard focal length up to the 400mm ultra-telephoto. This is a breakthrough product that creates an entirely new category of ultra-telephoto-mirrorless zoom lenses, another first for Tamron.
