New Ultra Multi Focal Length All-In-One Zoom Lens.
TAMRON's new 50-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Telephoto Zoom Lens is designed for Sony E-mount cameras has features that guarantee any user with versatility and ease of use.
Weighing only 665 grams, this lens is the lightest in its category of 300mm lenses compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras. Thanks to its thoughtful design, the lens is easy to carry and can be used for longer periods of time than heavier lenses.

A fast and precise autofocus makes sure that subjects are quickly caught and are clear in every shot, even if they are moving. This translates to fewer missed or deleted shots because photos are sharper.

With the 50mm focal length, users can experiment with “half-macro photography.” Get up close (up to 22 cm!) away from your subject and capture every detail the way you want to, all without needing a dedicated macro lens. This is ideal for photographing the flowers in a garden or field, insects, or any other small object.

Inside the lens are two XLD elements and two LD elements. These special glass elements might be small, but they are a big help in reducing chromatic aberrations.

The 50-300mm VC is packed with features that support an enriched shooting experience, such as Moisture-Resistant Construction, Fluorine Coating, 67mm filter size, and the connector port for the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software developed in-house by TAMRON.

From capturing expansive landscapes to detailed close-ups, the Tamron 50-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony E is an exceptional all-in-one zoom lens that caters to a wide range of photographic needs. This versatile lens offers an impressive focal range, starting at a wide 50mm and extending to a powerful 300mm telephoto, making it ideal for both wide-angle and telephoto photography. Despite its extensive reach, the lens maintains a compact and lightweight design, measuring just 150mm (5.9 inches) in length and weighing a mere 665g (23.5 oz), ensuring excellent balance and portability.
Engineered for precision, the Tamron 50-300mm lens incorporates a strategic arrangement of special lens elements that effectively minimize aberrations, ensuring high-quality images throughout the entire zoom range. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism provides fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus, making it perfect for both stills and video. Additionally, the VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization system enhances shooting stability, allowing for sharp images even in challenging lighting conditions.
At the 50mm wide end, the lens offers a minimum object distance (MOD) of 0.22m (8.7 inches) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, enabling photographers to explore half-macro photography and capture intricate details with ease. Designed to withstand diverse shooting environments, the lens features Moisture-Resistant Construction and a Fluorine Coating, ensuring durability and protection against the elements.
