Compact 750mm Equivalent Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens

Although it reaches the ultra-telephoto focal length equivalent of 750mm, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is still quite compact with a length of just 209.9mm (8.3 in) and a maximum diameter of 93mm. Even when extended fully to the telephoto end, the length of the lens is only 284.9mm (11.2 in) so it can be used comfortably. The lens zooms from 150mm to 500mm by rotating the zoom ring through an arc of just 75° that enables rapid adjustment to the desired angle of view with minimal movement, avoiding missed opportunities and facilitating intuitive composition.

Amazing High Image Quality

The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups. The generous and effective use of special lens elements including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element, five LD (Low Dispersion) elements, and two Hybrid Aspherical lens elements thoroughly controls aberrations including axial chromatic aberrations. And because the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras, it delivers extremely high image quality and overall performance across the entire zoom range, in the centre and from edge-to-edge.

VXD AF Motor Provides High Speed, High Precision, And Excellent Quietness

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 features the Tamron VXD linear motor focus mechanism. VXD delivers high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures responsive performance. Additionally, the linear motor also reduces drive noise and vibrations produced during focusing (as compared to a conventional drive system), making it ideal for shooting both still photos and video in low-noise environments.

Tamron’s Acclaimed VC Delivers Exceptional Image Stabilization

The slim, compact 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with Tamron’s VC mechanism. The lens features a VC mode selection switch with three settings (Mode 1: Standard, Mode 2: Exclusively for Panning, and Mode 3: Framing Priority) so the ideal VC mode can be invoked to match shooting conditions. This functionality delivers powerful image stabilization performance, enabling efficient reduction of image blur caused by camera shake.
