Rated 4 out of 5

Great for long range daylight pics

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 kids sports

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.

My all time favorite lens

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.

This groundbreaking ultra-telephoto zoom lens offers an impressive 8x zoom ratio, spanning a versatile focal length range from 50mm to 400mm. This allows photographers to capture everything from standard shots to distant subjects with remarkable ease and precision.

The lens's wide 50mm starting focal length is perfect for capturing full-body shots of wildlife within their natural surroundings, while the extended 400mm reach is ideal for sideline sports and other dynamic subjects. This flexibility eliminates the need to frequently change lenses, making it an indispensable tool for photographers who demand versatility and high performance.

Constructed with 24 elements in 18 groups, the lens incorporates advanced optical technologies, including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion), and Hybrid Aspherical elements. These features effectively minimize aberrations and deliver exceptional image quality across the entire zoom range. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating further enhances clarity by reducing ghosting and flare, even in challenging backlit conditions.

Despite its powerful capabilities, the Tamron 50-400mm lens remains compact and lightweight, measuring just 183.4mm (7.2 inches) in length and weighing 1,155g (40.7 oz). This makes it easy to carry and handle, whether you're traveling or shooting for extended periods.

Equipped with Tamron's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, the lens offers high-speed, high-precision autofocus, ensuring you never miss a critical moment. The proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) technology stabilizes images, reducing camera shake during handheld shooting, especially at telephoto focal lengths or in low-light conditions.

For macro enthusiasts, the lens provides impressive close-up capabilities with a minimum object distance of 0.25m (9.8 inches) at the 50mm end, achieving a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. At the 400mm end, the MOD is 1.5m (59.1 inches), offering a 1:4 magnification ratio for capturing intricate details.

The Tamron Lens Utility software enhances user experience by allowing customization of lens functions and firmware updates. The "Focus Limiter" feature, accessible via the Focus Set Button, optimizes autofocus performance by restricting the focus search range, ensuring swift and accurate focusing.

Additional features include a 75-degree zoom ring rotation for quick focal length adjustments, an optional Arca Swiss-compatible tripod mount for stability, and a 9-blade circular aperture for beautiful bokeh effects. The lens is also designed with moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating on the front element, providing durability and ease of maintenance.

In summary, the Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Nikon Z is a versatile, high-performance tool that empowers photographers to explore new creative possibilities with exceptional image quality and ease of use.
