Tamron - '50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens'
Sony E Mount
Exciting New Photographic OpportunitiesThe 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD is an unprecedented ultra-telephoto zoom lens with added versatility that starts at 50mm and delivers an 8x zoom ratio. With a wide starting focal length of 50mm, full body shots can be captured beautifully in the surrounding environment with uncompromising image quality thanks to special lens elements, including XLD, LD and Hybrid Aspherical lens elements. Along with its superb performance, the lens is just 183.4mm long and weighs only 1,155g, making the lens easy to pack and comfortable to carry all day long. A brand-new kind of ultar-telephoto zoom lens that combines a 50mm standard focal length with the sheer power of a 400mm telephoto.
Fast And Precise AF
VC for stable handheld shootingThe 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 utilizes the renowned VXD1 linear motor focus mechanism. This advanced AF mechanism combines class-leading speed and precision, enabling fast and accurate focusing from MOD (Minimum Object Distance) through to infinity. The lens is equipped with TAMRON's proprietary VC2 mechanism, and effectively controls camera shake that can occur when shooting at telephoto focal lengths. It also helps reduce fuzzy pictures when shooting handheld in low-light conditions which typically require slower shutter speeds.
Half-Macro Photography
1:2 magnification ratio at the 50mm endThe 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 is capable of extremely high performance when shooting close-ups, particularly for an ultra-telephoto zoom lens. Users can enjoy half-macro shooting with a MOD of 0.25m (9.8 in) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at the 50mm zoom setting. Moreover, at the 400mm telephoto end, the MOD is 1.5m (59.1 in), thereby providing a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 for amazing, dynamic shots. The unprecedented level of freedom in shooting reveals the charm of subjects more than ever, plus flexible shooting options previously unseen in ultra-telephoto zooms.
Compatible With Tamron Lens Utility Software
Personal CustomizationThe 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD incorporates the new ‘Tamron Lens Utility’ software originally and uniquely developed by Tamron. Tamron Lens Utility can be operated using a computer by connecting the lens from its Connector Port via the optional Tamron Connection Cable. Users can customize the functions and update the firmware through the lens. The personal customization gives flexible shooting options to match the shooting situation such as still photography or videography.

Additional Features
Vibration CompensationTamron-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.
Zoom LockThe 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.
Tamron Lens UtilityThe new Tamron Lens Utility software was developed by us to configure our own Tamron lenses. After installing the program on a computer, compatible lenses can be connected to the computer via a connecting cable to customize various lens functions or to update the lens firmware.
Broad Band
Anti-ReflectionThe 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.
