Review Summary

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.

Because capturing the perfect shot requires a lens that can adapt to your needs, the 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony E is designed to offer unparalleled versatility and performance. This ultra-telephoto zoom lens, specifically designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, boasts an impressive 8x zoom ratio, starting from a standard 50mm and extending to a powerful 400mm at the ultra-telephoto end.

This lens is not just about range, it's also about quality. The precise arrangement of special lens elements, including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion) and Hybrid Aspherical lens elements, ensures high image resolution across the entire zoom range. Coupled with the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating, this lens minimizes ghosting and flare, delivering sharp, clear images even under backlit conditions.

The 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens is equipped with Tamron's proprietary VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, ensuring high-speed, high-precision autofocus. This advanced AF mechanism is perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects like wild birds or sports action. Additionally, the lens features Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) system, which effectively reduces camera shake, especially when shooting at longer focal lengths or in low light conditions.

Despite its powerful features, this lens maintains a compact and lightweight design, measuring just 183.4mm (7.2 in) in length and weighing 1,155g (40.7 oz). This makes it easy to handle and carry, perfect for photographers on the go.

For those who love close-up shots, this lens offers excellent half-macro shooting capabilities with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at the 50mm end. Moreover, with the dedicated Tamron Lens Utility, users can customize functions and easily update the firmware through the lens.

Constructed with a moisture-resistant design and a water-proofed USB Type-C connector port, this lens is built to withstand outdoor shooting conditions. With the 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony E, you can explore a wide range of photography styles with confidence and ease.
