The 50-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD lens from Tamron is an all-in-one telephoto zoom that offers exceptional weight and portability, providing extreme versatility for Sony E-mount full-frame camera systems. With its wide zoom range, users can easily capture subjects from street scenes to intimate portraits and wildlife. The VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization reduces camera shake and contributes to sharper images, which is particularly beneficial when shooting at the maximum focal length of 300 mm. The lens features a VXD linear motor focus mechanism, enabling fast and precise autofocus performance with impressive subject tracking across the entire zoom range.
The autofocus system, equipped with Tamron's VXD linear motor, allows for precise adjustments from the closest focusing distance to infinity. Additionally, the focus tracking is extremely accurate. The 50-300mm F/4.5-6.3 VC includes Tamron's VC mechanism, which effectively minimizes camera shake that can occur when shooting in the telephoto range, focusing close up, or in low-light conditions.
This lens offers outstanding close-up performance with a focusing distance of 0.22 m and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at 50 mm wide-angle, allowing you to get exceptionally close to your subject and create fascinating half-macro shots. At 300 mm, the closest focusing distance is only 0.9 m, providing a magnification factor of 1:3.1. Enjoy unique image compositions with the 50-300mm F/4.5-6.3 VC and capture your subjects creatively.
The 50-300mm F/4.5-6.3 VC is compatible with Tamron Lens Utility software, allowing you to change lens settings, assign functions from the camera, and update the firmware if necessary. You can also operate the functions via a smartphone app without touching the lens, enabling customization for different photo and video shooting styles.

Would you like a little more? Tamron has given its telephoto zoom more room to manoeuvre with an initial focal length of 50 mm instead of the usual 70 mm. Nevertheless, the lens remains compact.
Tamron's telephoto zoom performs slightly better than Nikon's superzoom in terms of optics and mechanics.
With the new Tamron lens, you get a lot of performance for little money. The telephoto zoom can be used universally (also due to its near-macro capabilities) and delivers sharp, high-contrast images. The autofocus system and the powerful image stabiliser support the photographer.
