The dynamic Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VXD for full-frame-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras is a compact and versatile super-telephoto zoom lens well suited to capture a wide array of subjects ranging from landscapes and birds to sports and wildlife photography. Each element features a BBAR-G2 coating to reduce flare and ghosting for high contrast and color accuracy. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism delivers extreme high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures exceptionally responsive performance and is compatible with Sony Hybrid AF and Eye AF features in enabled cameras. The VC image stabilization facilitates shooting handheld at the 500mm ultra-telephoto position, and the Arca-type-compatible rotating tripod mount has integrated strap attachment loops for safety and support when shooting in the field.  VC image stabilization facilitates shooting handheld at the 500mm ultra-telephoto position, with three modes: standard, panning, and framing priority. BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating has been applied to lens elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting to achieve greater contrast and color fidelity. The included lens hood is protected with a flexible, shock-absorbing front rim to prevent cracks and damage. Compatible with Sony's Direct Manual Focus function and Eye AF on enabled cameras, and full-time manual focus override is available.

A versatile telephoto lens with outstanding sharpness and build quality, it is a top choice for wildlife and sports photographers. The 500mm aperture delivers impressive clarity, combined with fast and quiet VXD autofocus. Despite its wide dynamic range, the compact design ensures portability and ease of use. Tamron's VC technology is exceptional, providing reliable image stabilization when shooting handheld at longer focal lengths. Color rendition and contrast remain beautiful, even in difficult lighting conditions. The lens' moisture-resistant construction gives you confidence when using it outdoors, and it can withstand harsh environments.
A five-star choice for Sony E mount users looking for a balance of performance, versatility, and affordability. It has more features than other similar products at a higher price point. Tamron has delivered a real gem, perfectly designed for photographers who demand unlimited accessibility.
