Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony Full Frame Mirrorless Cameras | 8x Zoom | VXD AF Motor - New

Unprecedented 8x Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Range

The Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD delivers an exceptional 8x zoom ratio covering focal lengths from standard 50mm all the way to 400mm ultra-telephoto. This remarkable versatility allows photographers to capture full-body shots of wildlife with surrounding backgrounds at 50mm, then zoom in for detailed close-ups without changing lenses. The 50mm starting focal length proves invaluable for side-line sports and animals that move closer during shooting sessions.

Outstanding Optical Performance

Featuring 24 elements in 18 groups, this lens employs specialized optics including two XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) elements, three LD (Low Dispersion) elements, one GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) element, and one Hybrid Aspherical element. This sophisticated design effectively controls aberrations including axial chromatic aberrations. Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2 coating ensures superior image clarity throughout the zoom range.

Professional AF and Stabilization Systems

The VXD linear motor focus mechanism delivers high-speed, high-precision autofocus from the minimum object distance to infinity, making it easy to capture sharp images of moving subjects like flying birds. The system operates extremely quietly for video and situations requiring silent operation. Tamron's proprietary VC image stabilization reduces blur caused by camera shake, maintaining sharp results in challenging conditions.

Compact Design with Half-Macro Capabilities

Despite its impressive zoom range, this lens maintains a compact 7.2" length and weighs just 40.7 oz—comparable to conventional 100-400mm lenses. The minimum object distance of just 9.8" at 50mm and maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 enable half-macro photography with excellent close-up capabilities.
