Mastering the Magical World of 500mm Ultra-Telephoto Zooms
A surprisingly compact ultra-telephoto zoom lens with image stabilization specifically designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras
The 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057) zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras overturns conventional wisdom for ultra-telephoto zooms, with a very compact design and high image quality. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 achieves a focal length of 500mm while maintaining a compact size, with a length of only 209.6mm (8.3 in) and a maximum diameter of 93mm, enabling comfortable handheld shooting. The design emphasizes image quality. The optical construction includes 25 elements in 16 groups and uses special lens elements and hybrid aspherical lens elements to control various potential aberrations such as chromatic aberrations. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom lens is also equipped with a high-speed, high-precision VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focusing mechanism and VC (Vibration Compensation), ensuring that no photogenic moment is ever missed. In addition, the lens has a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.6m (23.6 in) at the 150mm end and remarkable overall ease of use. The Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount has strap attachment holes and there are various features to support outdoor shooting, including moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is a highly versatile lens that allows you to capture a wide range of subjects from landscapes and birds to sports and wildlife photography. You will be amazed when you experience the powerful and unique world of ultra-telephoto lenses for yourself.
Enjoy comfortable handheld shooting with a full-featured 500mm compact lens
Given its association with mirrorless cameras, TAMRON pursued a compact size that allows for handheld shooting while developing the 150-500mm F5-6.7. At 209.6mm (8.3 in) long and with a maximum diameter of 93mm, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is surprisingly compact for a 500mm-class ultra-telephoto zoom designed for use on full-frame mirrorless cameras. Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens has a suppressed length of approximately 283mm (11.1 in). Another distinctive feature is that the zoom ring's rotation arc is small—only 75°—allowing for quick adjustment of the desired focal length with minimal movement.
Uncompromising high image quality across the entire zoom range
In addition to covering a wide range of focal lengths, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom lens has high resolving power with excellent image rendering performance throughout the zoom range. The optical construction comprises 25 elements in 16 groups. The effective placement of special lens elements—including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion), and hybrid aspherical lens elements—enables the 150-500mm F5-6.7 to produce clear images while controlling chromatic aberrations. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating is used to suppress ghosting and flare, which typically occur under backlit conditions. These characteristics allow the lens to produce finely detailed images of a wide variety of subjects, including wildlife, birds, nature and sports, while producing soft and beautiful bokeh effects.
Focal length: 500 mm Exposure: F6.7 1/2500sec ISO 250
Focal length: 500 mm Exposure: F6.7 1/1000sec ISO 400High-speed, high-precision autofocus means you'll never miss a photo opportunity
The AF drive system of the 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom lens is equipped with the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focusing mechanism. VXD offers extremely fast, high-precision movement and ensures exceptionally responsive performance. Even when shooting at the ultra-telephoto end with a focal length of 500mm, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 allows comfortable, stress-free focusing at all shooting distances, from near to far. Focus tracking performance is also very high, making it easy to shoot fast-moving subjects, such as when photographing wild birds, sports, vehicles, and wildlife in general. The linear motor also suppresses drive noise and vibration during focusing, making it ideal for shooting photos and videos in environments that require silence.
Focal length: 150 mm Exposure: F5.6 1/2000sec ISO 500VC image stabilization makes handheld shooting easy at the 500mm ultra-telephoto position
When shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, even the smallest vibrations can cause a loss of image clarity. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with VC (Vibration Compensation) to support sharp images despite inevitable camera shake. VC provides powerful support for handheld shooting of low-light scenes, such as evening scenes and indoor shooting, without the aid of a tripod. The lens also features a VC mode selection switch with three modes, including a dedicated panning mode (Mode 1: Standard, Mode 2: Exclusively for Panning, and Mode 3: Bracket Priority), thus allowing the ideal VC mode to be selected to match shooting conditions and preferences.
Focal length: 500 mm Exposure: F6.7 1/30sec ISO 3200
MOD of 0.6 m (23.6 in) when shooting at the 150 mm setting
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom lens allows users to freely enjoy telephoto macro shooting of subjects at close range. The lens has a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.6 m (23.6 in) at the 150 mm wide-angle end and 1.8 m (70.9 in) at the 500 mm telephoto end. More remarkably, the maximum magnification ratio at the 150 mm end is 1:3.1, providing excellent close-up shooting capabilities for an ultra-telephoto zoom. The versatile performance of the 150-500 mm F5-6.7 allows for shooting a diverse range of scenes from plants and insects to close-up tabletop shots. It also allows users to take very dramatic images as it gives the illusion that the distance between objects is less than in real life. Second, it is also possible to get interesting head and shoulders portraits because of this compression effect.
Focal length: 150 mm Exposure: F8 1/100sec ISO 400An ultra-telephoto zoom with extreme ease of use for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless
In developing and designing the 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom lens, TAMRON focused on user-friendliness so that users can fully immerse themselves in the world of ultra-telephoto zoom lenses without any minor inconveniences.
