Tamron AF 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony FE

The Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens is a large-aperture telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. A great feature is its outstanding performance even while attaining a fast F/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, while offering a light and compact package with a filter diameter of 67mm, maximum diameter of 81mm, 149mm length (at the 70mm setting) and a weight of 810g. Thanks to the utilisation of special lens elements, the 70-180mm f/2.8 achieves excellent image quality, and with the short MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.85m, it also broadens the possibilities for photographic expression. For enhanced AF drive efficiency, Tamron has newly developed the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a linear motor focus mechanism that delivers excellent quietness and agile performance, thereby producing the highest level of autofocusing speed and precision in Tamron’s history. Additionally, a floating system is used to achieve excellent optical performance at all shooting distances. By simultaneously operating two VXD units via electronic control, the system produces clear and sharp images of all objects near and far. The lens also has Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating to facilitate outdoor shooting even in poor weather, and the lens is fully compatible with camera-specific features like Fast Hybrid AF.
