Exciting new photographic opportunities unleashed by 50-400mm zoom range

The generous and effective use of special lens elements, including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion) and Hybrid Aspherical lens elements, effectively delivers uncompromising high image quality throughout the entire 50-400mm zoom range. Along with its superb performance, the lens is just 183.4mm (7.2 in) long and weighs only 1,155g (40.7 oz). Offering about the same light weight and compact size as a conventional 100-400mm zoom, it’s easy to pack and comfortable to carry all day.

The TAMRON 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 is a brand-new kind of ultra-telephoto zoom lens that combines a 50mm standard focal length, outstanding image quality and highly nimble mobility—plus the sheer power of a 400mm telephoto! This one lens captures a lively world with all the clarity you desire and can transport you to exhilarating new photographic experiences.

Fast and precise AF, plus VC for stable handheld shooting

The 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 VC (Vibration Control) 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 with 1:2 magnification ratio at the 50mm end

The 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 an 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.

“Focus Limiter” function now added to the TAMRON Lens Utility

Using the optional extra Tamron TAP-In Console and the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software developed in-house by TAMRON is compatible with the 50-400mm F4.5- 6.3. Users can customize the functions and easily update the firmware through the lens.

Additionally, with the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 you can select the “Focus Limiter” function that allows you to limit the focus search range of the AF. This function shortens the time taken to refocus when a subject slips out of focus and prevents focusing on obstacles in front of a subject. The function can be instantly toggled using the Focus Set Button, ensuring that you never miss an unexpected photo opportunity. The TAMRON Lens Utility can be used to customise functions based on various shooting styles for both still photography and video, thereby providing a more fulfilling and personalised shooting experience.
