Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD - Affordable multipurpose lens for Sony

The super-dynamic Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD is a highly flexible lens with a focal length to suit almost any situation and purpose, from landscape photography to birding, not to mention sports photography. All elements feature BBAR-G2 coating which reduces lens flare and haze, increasing contrast and brightness. Complementing the optical design is a fast VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) focusing system that is linear making focusing fast and responsive. It is compatible with Sony Hybrid AF and Eye AF modes. Vibration Compensation minimises blur caused by camera movement when shooting handheld. The lens is suitable for outdoor work thanks to its magnesium alloy body and weather protection.

The Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD is a high-quality full cell lens that, despite its wide focal length, weighs just 1.2kg. The lens can also be easily used in APS-C cameras, with an angle of view equivalent of 75-600mm.

The lens housing is made of metal, and finished with weatherproof rubber seals to keep out moisture and dust. The sleek, yet rugged design is suitable for a wide range of conditions. The front lens is fluorite coated to prevent scratching and effectively repels dirt and grease, and is easy to clean.

When shooting requires a tripod, an optional Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount is available as an accessory for the lens.

The lens has a USB interface, which allows you to update the lens software, fine-tune focus and image stabilisation and, above all, decide what additional buttons do.
