Expanded Tamron 50-400mm f4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens Key Features:
High-Performance Optics
This lens’ ability to deliver uncompromising high image quality throughout the entire 50-400mm zoom range is powered by its generous use of specialist lens elements. With an impressive 24 elements in 18 groups, including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion) and Hybrid Aspherical lens elements, the Tamron 50-400mm is a next-level ultra-telephoto zoom lens built for versatility.
Reinforcing this advanced level of high-performing optics is an 8x zoom ratio, f4.5-6.3 maximum aperture range, and a 9-bladed diaphragm. This is the perfect combination for more flexible shooting in a wide variety of environments - whether you’re far away from your subject or working with low light.
Ultra-Telephoto to Half-Macro
One of the most exciting features of this Tamron lens is its 50mm-400mm focal range. With an unprecedented 50mm starting focal length, users can enjoy half-macro shooting with a MOD of 0.25m and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. Even more exciting are the dynamic results achieved by using the 400mm focal length with a 1.5m MOD and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4. This provides a whole new level of creative freedom that reveals all the finer details of close-up subjects previously unseen in conventional ultra-telephoto zooms.
Perfect for Sports and Wildlife
This 50-400mm f4.5-6.3 lens utilises Tamron’s renowned VXD1 linear motor to combine industry-leading speed with precision for fast and accurate focusing. Paired with Tamron’s proprietary Vibration Compensation system, this lens is well adept at controlling any camera shake when shooting at telephoto focal lengths. By utilising both the VXD1 and VC features, this lens is perfect for shooting handheld in low-light conditions which would typically require slower shutter speeds.
Premium Construction
To provide users with a more comfortable shooting experience, Tamron has prioritised ergonomics by adopting an upgraded texture with scratch resistance and improved operability. This includes a zoom lock switch for greater efficiency and a port for the dedicated Tamron Lens Utility. The front lens element also benefits from Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2 and fluorine coatings to protect against dust, water droplets, grease or dirt, so users can use their Tamron lens with confidence.
