Tamron - '150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens'
Sony FE Mount
Ultra-telephoto zoom with intuitive, convenient operationThe 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD strikes the perfect balance between high image quality and light, compact design. Featuring a remarkable 500mm focal length while providing maximum comfort with a length of only 209.6mm and maximum diameter of 93mm. A full frame lens for Sony E-mount camera’s equipped with a VC image stabilizer, which enable sharp ultra-telephoto shots from free hand. The optical structure comprises 25 elements in 16 groups, among them several special glasses and hybrid aspheres for correcting optical aberrations. The lens offers minimal reflections inside the lens and suppressing ghost images and flares using a BBAR-G2 coating. With a focal length of 150mm, the closest focusing distance is 0.6 m, which means that the lens is also suitable for impressive close-ups.
Features And Functions
Fast and precise autofocus – so that you always capture the perfect moment in the imageThe 150-500mm F/5-6.7 has a VXD autofocus with a powerful linear motor. The advantages of the VXD technology lie in the high speed and precision of the focusing. The autofocus reacts at lightning speed and reliably focuses on dynamic motifs such as athletes, fast vehicles, wild animals or birds. The linear motor works quietly and with low vibration, so that the lens is suitable for both photo and video recordings.
VC image stabilization for sharp, detailed ultra-telephoto shots from the free handWhen shooting with long focal lengths, even the smallest movements and vibrations of the camera can lead to blurred results. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is therefore equipped with an image stabilization system that enables sharp shots even without a tripod by compensating for unwanted camera movements. The VC image stabilizer is particularly advantageous with ultra-telephoto shots and in low light, for example in the evening or indoors. Depending on the motif, three VC settings are available, including a "pull-along mode".
For Compact System Cameras

Additional Features
Zoom Lock Mechanism
The ZL mechanism prevents unwanted extension of the tube during transport. The lock, which is activated by a switch, protects the lens from damage and at the same time guarantees that it is quickly ready for use.
Fluorine Coating
Fluorine Coating protects the front lens from contamination. It prevents oil and water droplets from sticking to the surface. Fingerprints and dirt are easier to remove.
Broad Band Anti-Reflection
The BBAR multi-coating ensures brilliant images with natural colours. It reduces the reflection of light rays hitting the lens surface. The more advanced BBAR G2 coating has been used since 2019.
Aspherical Lens
Aspherical lenses correct spherical aberrations (focus errors) in zoom lenses. They can replace several other optical elements without loss of quality, contributing to a more compact lens design.
Internal Focus
Internal focusing prevents the barrel from extending and rotating during focusing. The lens is easier to handle and is suitable for use with polarising or gradation filters.
Moisture Resistant Construction
The lens is splash-resistant. All critical areas have special seals. Lenses with this feature are ideal for outdoor use in bad weather.
Low Dispersion
LD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
Extra-Low Dispersion
XLD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
Vibration Compensation
Tamron-developed image stabilisation that compensates for unwanted camera movement for sharper images. Shutter speeds of up to 5 EV stops slower are possible with the VC image stabiliser.
Voice-Coil Extreme-Torque Drive
The VXD autofocus guarantees fast and precise focusing on both near and far objects. The quiet focus motor responds at lightning speed and is particularly suitable for images of moving objects.
