High-Performance Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens

The Model A067 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD creates a new category of high-performance ultra-telephoto zoom lenses for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. With an 8x zoom ratio starting at an impressive 50mm, this lens is the same size as traditional 100-400mm zoom lenses, yet offers a wider angle of view for superior versatility.

The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 is remarkably compact with a length of just 18.34cm and a light weight of 1.155kg but provides unparalleled high performance at all focal lengths. In spite of the high magnification ratio, high image quality is delivered across the entire 50-400mm range through the practical arrangement of special lens elements.

Equipped with TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism that offers excellent quietness and responsiveness, plus Tamron's proprietary image stabilization mechanism VC (Vibration Compensation), the lens delivers the versatile capability for all shooting scenarios.

Because the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 provides up to one-half life-size magnification during close focus, users can enjoy the world of half-macro photography with excellent close-up shooting capabilities, with a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.25m (9.8 in) at the 50mm end.

The filter size is 67mm, the same as most other Tamron lenses for mirrorless cameras, providing greater convenience when using multiple lenses together. The lens also features ergonomic features that support comfortable shooting, such as the adoption of a new lens design with improved texture and operability, and a Connector Port for the dedicated Tamron Lens UtilityTM originally and uniquely developed by Tamron. In addition, for this 50-400mm F4.5-6.3, Tamron Lens Utility offers a "Focus Limiter” function.

An optional Arca-Swiss compatible accessory tripod mount is available for convenience when using a tripod. All in all, the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 is a highly portable, versatile zoom lens that ensures users never miss a shooting opportunity, from the 50mm standard focal length up to the 400mm ultra-telephoto. This is a breakthrough product that creates an entirely new category of ultra-telephoto-mirrorless zoom lenses, another first for Tamron.
