Expanded Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony E Key Features:
Incredible All-round Image Quality
The internal optics of the Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC VXD lens consists of 25 elements in 16 groups. These include one XLD (Extra-Low Dispersion), five LD (Low Dispersion), and two Hybrid Aspherical lens elements. In combination, these effectively minimise aberrations, including axial chromatic aberrations. This ultra-telephoto zoom lens has been designed specifically to be compact and functional without compromising on the overall image quality. You are therefore guaranteed contrast, clarity, and colour-accurate images every time you click the shutter button.
Fast and Effective VXD Focus
As with the first Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD , this lens utilises the renowned VXD linear motor focusing system. It's fast, responsive, and incredibly precise; even when shooting at the full 500mm extension. Alongside this is the 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC VXD's intuitive new focus tracking, which is ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects. If you are photographing an action-packed sporting event, a rare bird in-flight, or a helicopter flying overhead - this lens has got you covered. It essentially means that you will never miss a moment, whether you are shooting stills or video. Another neat feature is the reduction in drive noise and vibrations, which is ideal for when shooting photos in low-noise environments or for when you need to record sound alongside your video.
Speaking of vibrations, the compact 150-500mm f5-6.7 incorporates Tamron's intuitive VC mechanism. This consists of three accessible modes to include Standard, Exclusively for Panning, and Framing Priority. By changing the setting to suit your individual shooting requirements, you are afforded incredible image stabilisation and massively reduced image blurring.
Tele-macro capabilities
The Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 further doubles as a powerful tele-macro system. At 150mm, it offers an exceptional MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.6m for striking and dynamic close-up photography. The maximum 1:3:1 magnification ratio at 150mm is also quite staggering. Due to the compact and short overall barrel length compared to other ultra-telephoto zoom lenses within its class, you can maintain a solid distance from your subject. This is great for experimenting with close-up photography of various forms of flora and fauna.
Protected from the Elements
The Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 isn't afraid of a little bad weather. As an ultra-telephoto zoom lens, it is reassuring to know that this lens has an impressive moisture-resistant construction. The front optics are further protected by a fluorine compound that is both water and oil repellent. This makes the lens surface much easier to clean, whilst also providing a barrier against the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture, and fingerprints.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
