The 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD features a very compact design and high image quality. This amazing zoom lens achieves a 500mm focal length while retaining a compact size, with a length of just 209.6mm (8.3 in) and a maximum diameter of 93mm, it is Tamron’s first model for Sony E-Mount and Fujifilm X-Mount full-frame mirrorless cameras equipped with VC (Vibration Compensation), so it’s easy to carry and comfortable to shoot handheld.
The design places major emphasis on image quality. The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups and utilizes special lens elements and hybrid aspherical lens elements to control chromatic aberrations. BBAR-G21 Coating is used to suppress ghosting and flare, which could otherwise occur under backlit conditions. Additionally, the lens has a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.6m (23.6 in) at the 150mm end, so you can freely enjoy telephoto macro shooting of subjects at close-up distances. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is a highly versatile lens that lets you capture a wide array of subjects ranging from landscapes and birds to sports and wildlife. You’ll be thoroughly amazed when you experience the powerful and unique world of ultra-telephoto lenses for yourself.
