Game-changing ultra-telephoto zoom lens starts at standard 50mm. Fresh, new photographic expression unleashed by 50-400mm zoom range.Fresh, New Photographic Expression Unleashed By 50-400mm Zoom RangeThe 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD (Model A067) is a groundbreaking ultra-telephoto zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, offering an 8x zoom range from 50mm to 400mm with a zoom ring rotation arc of just 75 Degree . This versatility makes it suitable for portraits, wildlife, and sports photography. This 50-400mm lens achieves high image quality through the use of special optical elements, including two XLD and three LD elements, a GM lens, and a hybrid asphere. Despite its performance, the lens remains compact and lightweight at just 183.4mm (7.2") long and weighing 1,155g (40.7oz) for Sony mount and 7.3" (185.8mm) long and weighing 1,180g (41.6oz) for Nikon. The 50-400mm lens is perfect for outdoor photography, providing brilliant images across a wide range of subjects with a single lens.An Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens For Sony E-Mount Full-Frame Mirrorless Cameras With Added Versatility That Starts At 50mm And Delivers An 8x Zoom RatioThe TAMRON 50-400mm lens is a fantastic choice due to its exceptional versatility and image quality. It covers a wide range of focal lengths from standard to ultra telephoto, making it ideal for various types of photography, including portraits, wildlife, and sports. With its advanced optical design, the ultra-telephoto zoom lens delivers sharp, high-contrast images across all settings.Its compact and lightweight design enhances portability, making the 50-400mm convenient for outdoor and travel photography. The reliable autofocus ensures quick and accurate focusing, even on moving subjects. Overall, this standard to ultra-telephoto zoom lens provides impressive performance and flexibility, making it a valuable addition to any Sony E and Nikon Z mirrorless shooter's kit.Covers 50mm Standard Focal Length Up To 400mm At The Ultra-Telephoto RangeOne of the greatest features of the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 is its dramatically broad range of focal lengths which covers standard to ultra-telephoto, delivering an 8x zoom ratio. With 50mm on the wide side, you can create images that capture both the subject and the background. The wide end is also extremely useful when shooting subjects that may continuously move closer and further away, such as when whale watching, shooting sports at the sidelines, and photographing animals in habitats. Users can enjoy shooting a vast variety of subjects from landscapes and wild birds to animals, sports and small groups. Despite its wide range and capabilities, the compact and lightweight 50-400mm lens measures just 183.4mm (7.2") and weighs 1,155g (40.7oz) for Sony. This makes the lens easy to handle, and also makes it useful in situations like air travel when you want to reduce the bulk you are carrying.Outstanding Image Quality Throughout The Entire 50-400mm Zoom RangeThe 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 was developed in pursuit of high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The optical construction features 24 elements in 18 groups. The generous and effective use of special lens elements, including XLD (extra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion) and Hybrid Aspherical lens elements thoroughly controls aberrations including axial chromatic aberrations. The 50-400mm lens also features BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating that minimizes ghosting and flare and expresses the minute details of subjects even under backlit conditions. Enjoy clear and sharp resolution to the edges of the frame, plus the soft, beautiful bokeh effects of the type that only an ultra-telephoto can create.High-Speed, High-Precision AF Means You'll Never Miss Another Photo OpportunityThe 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 ultra-telephoto zoom lens utilizes the renowned VXD linear motor focus mechanism. This advanced AF mechanism combines class-leading speed and precision, enabling fast and accurate focusing from MOD through to infinity. Excellent focus tracking performance of moving objects makes it possible to capture sharp images even when shooting wild birds and fast sports action.Tamron's Proprietary VC Takes The Shakes Out Of Handheld ShootingThe ultra-telephoto zoom lens is equipped with TAMRON's proprietary VC 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 or at slower shutter speeds. Furthermore, using AI technologies, the lens chooses the appropriate compensation characteristics for videography at focal lengths of 100mm or less.Half-macro photography with 1:2 magnification ratio at the 50mm to 70mm focal lengthThe 50-400mm lens is capable of extremely high performance when shooting close-ups, particularly for an ultra-telephoto zoom lens. Users can enjoy maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 with an MOD of 0.25m (9.8") at 50mm and 0.27m (10.6") at 70mm. At the 400mm telephoto end the MOD is 1.5m (59.1"), providing a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4. The unprecedented level of freedom in shooting reveals the charm of subjects more than ever, and provides flexible shooting options previously unseen in ultra-telephoto zooms.Focus Limiter" Function That Limits The AF Focus Search Range Has Been Added To The Tamron Lens UtilityThe dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software (for PC/for devices with Android OS) 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, and by using the Mobile version, Focus Preset and A-B Focus can be operated remotely without touching the lens. Additionally, with the 50-400mm lens 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 customize functions based on various shooting styles for both still photography and video, thereby providing a more fulfilling shooting experience.Built with Mirrorless in MindJust 75 Degree zoom ring rotation arcThe arc of rotation of the zoom ring is only 75 Degree . This enables swift adjustment to the desired focal length with minimal movement.Optional tripod mount (Model A035TM) with Arca Swiss-compatible quick shoeThe Arca Swiss compatible tripod mount with quick shoe (Model A035TM, sold separately) allows you to shift quickly from handheld shooting to a tripod. The tripod mount can be easily attached and detached, allowing you to choose the best shooting method for each scene.&#149; Fast Hybrid AF&#149; Eye AF&#149; Direct Manual Focus (DMF)&#149; In-camera lens correction (shading, chromatic aberration, distortion)Zoom Ring, Focus RingGrip texture has been improved by redesigning the striped pattern on the rubber focusing and zoom rings. Certain internal parts have also been enhanced. These advancements result in smoother overall operability. TAMRON has also adjusted the stiffness and torque of the zoom ring to facilitate smoother and more precise operation.New Sculpted ShapeThe diameters of the zoom ring and focus ring have been enlarged, and the body areas around them have been slimmed down to give the lens a contoured profile that makes it easier to grip. This creates a comfortable, uneven shape that fits snugly and naturally in the hand.Deep, Luxurious Black Exterior FinishThe surface of the lens exterior is shiny black, much glossier than previous models. Improved abrasion resistance makes the lens harder to scratch and resists fingerprints.Brand RingThe "brand ring" on the lens mount is a sign of trust with the user, and the smooth curved surface and glossy surface treatment give the camera a unique and dignified appearance that is pleasing to both the eye and the hand.Circular ApertureA 9-blade diaphragm is configured to retain a smooth, circular-shaped aperture opening even when stopped down by two stops from the wide-open aperture. This produces a smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights.BBAR-G2 CoatingTAMRON has long been an innovator of coating technologies that prevent ghosting and flare. Second-generation BBAR-G2 Coating is a groundbreaking advancement that provides vastly improved performance compared to the original BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating. The coating corrects for ghosting and flare to an unprecedented extent and renders fine subject detail with true clarity and stunning contrast even under backlit conditions.Zoom Lock SwitchThe 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC VXD has a switch that can lock the zoom ring at the 50mm focal length if desired. This prevents the unwanted extension of the lens barrel due to the weight of the lens during transportation.Moisture-Resistant ConstructionFor greater protection when shooting outdoors, leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment. The Connector Port is the water-proofed USB Type-C variety.Fluorine CoatingThe front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellent. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints.

The 50 to 400 range is awesome. However, with the A7RV body, I found I had to shut off the lens image stabilizaton (VC) because the EVF image jumps around when handheld. VC has two levels and neither worked. With it off, it was much easier to track a bird in flight. That's disapointing since I was counting on getting great stabilization using both VC and IBIS.
  For the range this lens has, it's touted as light. But at 2.5 pounds, using a 1.5 pound body and a nearly 1 pound cage, it's a heavy combo. So heavy it's hard to hold long enough to traverse the many Sony settings menus. That will be less of an issue when custom buttons are better exploited, though. Still, a 1" wide neck strap is unworkable. The cage and a third party lens-tripod ring mount helps a lot managing the weight by giving more handholds.
 Any lens with the F4.5 to F6.x aperature isn't great in low light and even though I only shoot outside, combined with the poor A7RV low light performance, sunset shots are an issue.

Great for long range daylight pics

Lens physically looks amazing.  I'm still working on best camera settings to produce the best possible images and videos.   I'm very much a novice and don't fully understand all the photo lingo and settings.   Bought for kids sports games.  A little darker image than my old lens.   Will need to learn the settings or shoot in better lighting.

Great for kids sports

I love this lens! It?s sharp and the colors it renders are very pleasing. But it?s the range that makes me the happiest. 50-400mm is so, so useful and so fun! I would recommend it to anyone.
