TAMRON 150-500 F5.6 DI III VC VXD NIKON Z

The dynamic Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras is a compact and versatile super-telephoto zoom lens well-suited for capturing a wide range of subjects from landscapes and birds to sports and wildlife photography. This lens is optimized for full-frame and can also be used on APS-C cameras with an equivalent focal length range of 225-750mm.

The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups and uses special lens elements and hybrid aspherical lens elements to control chromatic aberrations. Each element features a BBAR-G2 coating to reduce flare and ghosting for high contrast and color accuracy. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism offers extremely high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures exceptionally responsive performance and is compatible with Sony Hybrid AF and Eye AF functions on enabled cameras. The minimum object distance of 23.6" at the 150mm end of the zoom range provides dynamic close-up images and adds to the remarkable overall ease of use of the lens.

The VC image stabilization facilitates handheld shooting at the 500mm ultra-telephoto position, and the rotating tripod collar compatible with Arca-type has integrated strap attachment loops for added security and support when shooting in the field. Designed and constructed with moisture-resistant construction for use in adverse conditions, plus a fluorine coating on the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt, and smudging.

• This lens is optimized for full-frame and can also be used on APS-C cameras with an equivalent focal length range of 225-750mm.

• The VC image stabilization facilitates handheld shooting at the 500mm ultra-telephoto position, with three modes: standard, panning, and framing priority.

• XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion), and GM (Glass-Molded Aspherical) elements greatly reduce color fringing, chromatic aberrations, and image distortion throughout the zoom range to enhance clarity and color accuracy.

• The lens elements feature a BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating that suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity.

• An Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount with built-in strap attachment holes is included.

• The side switches have been redesigned to improve operability, and the flexible zoom lock mechanism maintains the zoom position.

• Physical controls include a linear/non-linear AF switch, an AF on/off switch, and a focus limiter switch.

• The included lens hood is protected with a flexible shock-absorbing front edge to prevent cracks and damage.

• The zoom ring has a small 75° rotation arc for quick adjustment to the desired focal length with minimal movement.

• The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor offers impressively quiet, fast, and smooth focusing performance for both photo and video applications.

• Designed and constructed with moisture-resistant construction for use in adverse conditions, the front lens element has a fluorine coating to protect against dust, dirt, and smudging.

• The seven-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
