The lightest telephoto zoom lens in its class, available from 50mm (50mm). Mount: Sony E-mount lens (compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras). Focal length: 50-300mm. Aperture: F4.5-6.3. Filter diameter: 67mm. [TA50300DI3A069S] TA50300DI3A069S Released in June 2024
While covering the wide-angle end of 50mm, it is the lightest in its class, weighing just 665g. The 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 defies the conventional wisdom that 300mm-class telephoto zoom lenses are limited to 70-300mm, offering a wide-angle end of 50mm. It can be used in situations where 70mm is not quite enough, greatly expanding the possibilities of photographic expression. Despite starting at 50mm, this lens maintains its traditional size and boasts VC (Vibration Compensation) technology, achieving the lightest weight in its class at just 150mm long and 665g. Its compact size balances well with APS-C cameras, allowing for unparalleled portability and freedom to focus on the action. Uncompromising Optical Performance Across the 50-300mm Zoom Range: The 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 lens features 19 elements in 14 groups, delivering exceptional image quality across the entire zoom range. The generous and well-positioned special glass lens elements (two XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) elements and two LD (Low Dispersion) elements) efficiently suppress chromatic aberrations and other aberrations. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating reduces ghosting and flare, ensuring precise subject detail even in backlit conditions, resulting in stunning clarity and sharpness. With uncompromising high resolution from the center to the corners, rich tonal expression, and beautiful, soft bokeh, you can create the images you envision. The VXD AF drive delivers high-speed, high-precision AF with excellent motion tracking. It features a VXD linear motor focus mechanism. With the fastest and most accurate performance in Tamron's history, you can comfortably focus from the minimum focusing distance to infinity. Its excellent motion tracking performance ensures you won't miss a single moment of movement. The linear motor also minimizes vibration during focusing, ensuring quiet operation, making it ideal for still and video shooting in quiet environments. The 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 lens offers excellent close-up shooting capabilities. At the 50mm wide-angle end, the minimum focusing distance is 0.22m and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:2, allowing you to get as close as possible to your subject for semi-macro photography. Even at the 300mm telephoto end, it achieves a minimum focusing distance of 0.9m and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1. This lens offers a high degree of freedom in capturing the most appealing aspects of your subject, allowing you to enjoy the unique image creations only this lens can offer. Tamron's proprietary VC image stabilization system delivers superior compensation. The 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 lens is equipped with Tamron's proprietary VC image stabilization system. It effectively suppresses camera shake, which can easily occur at telephoto ranges, when shooting moving objects, or close-ups, ensuring stable shooting. When used with an APS-C camera, the focal length is equivalent to 75-450mm in 35mm format, making it particularly useful at the telephoto end. It also reduces image degradation even when shooting dimly lit indoors or night scenes, where camera shake is also likely to occur. Additionally, at focal lengths of 100mm and shorter, the lens utilizes AI (artificial intelligence) technology to provide compensation effects tailored to video recording. High convenience and operability. The φ67mm filter diameter is consistent across the full-frame mirrorless series. Features a focus set button that can be assigned to various camera and TAMRON Lens Utility functions. Lens design that takes convenience and operability into consideration.
