TAMRON 17-50MM F/4 Di III VXD SONY E

The Tamron 17-50mm f/4 Di III VXD lens caters to video and photography needs with a unique focal length range that includes an ultra-wide 17mm position, perfect for wide fields of view, as well as indoor settings, architectural subjects, and even when recording vlogs with an extended arm. The range extends to 50mm, offering a normal-length field of view, suitable for portraits and a tighter perspective on everyday subjects. Additionally, it has impressive close-up performance, with a minimum focusing distance of 7.5" at the wide end and 11.8" at the long end, for working with nearby subjects. This flexible range is supported by a constant maximum aperture of f/4 that helps prioritize portability and makes it an ideal walkaround lens.

The lens design is also suitable for multimedia use with the inclusion of a VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor for fast and quiet autofocus performance. The lens also features internal zoom and internal focus design, meaning the total length does not change during use for more intuitive handling that is easy to balance when working with a gimbal stabilizer.

Additionally, in terms of physical design, the 17-50mm has a moisture-resistant design with a fluorine front coating that makes cleaning simple and straightforward. It uses 67mm filters, just like most other Tamron mirrorless lenses, and is also compatible with the Tamron Lens Utility software to adjust lens performance to meet your needs.
