Description
Considering its pairing with mirrorless cameras, TAMRONpursued a compact size that allows handheld shooting while developing the TAMRON150-500mm F5-6.7 (a full-frame equivalent of 225-750mm on APS-C cameras). Witha length of 209.6mm (8.3 inches) and maximum diameter of 93mm, the 150-500mmF5-6.7 is astonishingly compact for a 500mm-class ultra-telephoto zoom lens. Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens has a length of around283mm (11.1 inches). Another distinctive feature is that the arc of rotation ofthe zoom ring is small - only 75 degrees, which enables swift adjustment to thedesired focal length with minimal movement. Uncompromising High Image Quality Throughout the Entire Zoom RangeIn addition to covering a broad range of focal lengths, the 150-500mm F5-6.7has high resolving power with excellent image-rendering performance across theentire zoom range. The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups. The effective placement of special lens elements - including one XLD (eXtra LowDispersion), five LD (Low Dispersion) and two hybrid aspherical lens elements -enables the 150-500mm F5-6.7 to produce clear images while controllingchromatic aberrations. BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2)Coating is used to suppress ghosting and flare, which commonly occur underbacklit conditions. These features allow the lens to produce finely detailedimages of a wide variety of subjects including wild animals, birds, nature, andsports, while producing soft and beautiful bokeh effects. High-Speed, High-Precision AF Means You`ll Never Miss a Photo OpportunityThe 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom`s AF drive system is equipped with the VXD(Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. VXD deliversextreme high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures exceptionallyresponsive performance. Focus tracking performance is also very high. Thelinear motor also suppresses drive noise and vibrations during focusing, makingit ideal for shooting both still photos and video in environments that demandquietness. VC Image Stabilization for Steady Shooting, Particularly in theUltra-Telephoto RangeWhen shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, even the smallest vibrations canlead to loss of image clarity. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with VC(Vibration Compensation) functionality to support sharp images despiteunavoidable camera shake. VC delivers powerful support for handheld shooting ofscenes with low light levels, such as evening scenes and indoor shots, withoutthe use of a tripod. MOD of 0.6m (23.6 inches) when Shooting at the 150mm SettingThe 150-500mm F5-6.7 lets users freely enjoy telephoto macro shooting ofsubjects at close-up distances. The lens has an MOD of 0.6m (23.6in) at the150mm end, and 1.8m (70.9in) at the 500mm end. More remarkably, the maximummagnification ratio at the 150mm end is 1:3.1, offering excellent close-upshooting capabilities for an ultra-telephoto zoom lens. In addition tocapturing dynamic shots by getting close to the subject, it enables tele-macro photographyat close range, something that is not possible with conventionalultra-telephoto zoom lenses. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 can be used in a wide rangeof situations from plants to insects to tabletop photography.
