Ultra-telephoto zoom with comfortable, intuitive operationUncompromised pursuit of high optical performance in a compact body
The 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057) features a very compact design, 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, and will be Tamron’s first model for Sony E-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 closeup 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.

High-speed, high-precision AF means you’ll never miss a photo opportunity
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom’s AF drive system is equipped with the VXD2 linear motor focus mechanism. The VXD mechanism delivers extreme high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures exceptionally responsive performance when photographing subjects such as wild birds, sports, vehicles, and wildlife in general. The linear motor also suppresses drive noise and vibrations during focusing, making it ideal for shooting both still photos and video in environments that demand quietness.

VC image stabilization facilitates shooting handheld at the ultra-telephoto position
When shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, even the smallest vibrations can lead to loss of image clarity. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with VC functionality to support sharp images despite unavoidable camera shake. VC delivers powerful support for handheld shooting of scenes with low light levels, such as at evening and indoor, without the use of a tripod. The lens also features a VC mode selection switch with three modes including a dedicated panning mode, thereby enabling selection of the ideal VC mode to match shooting conditions and preferences.

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program and publishes the listed chemicals, which includes more than 850 chemicals. August 2016, OEHHA adopted new regulations, to go into effect on August 30, 2018, which changes the information that is required in or on Proposition 65 warnings.
