Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Fuji X

The Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VXD Lens for Fuji X is a compact ultra-telephoto zoom lens for FUJIFILM X-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens is still compact enough for comfortable handheld shooting.

To support handheld shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, the new zoom is equipped with VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a linear motor focus mechanism that delivers excellent quietness and agile performance, and TAMRON's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism for high-level image stabilization which significantly improves handheld performance by counteracting camera shake. At the 150mm end, the lens offers an minimum focus distance of 0.6m for powerful and dramatic close-ups.

This lens enables users to enjoy casual shooting with steady performance and high image quality in the ultra-telephoto realm where conventional wisdom once dictated a tripod.

Key Features of the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Fuji X

• Compact 750mm equivalent
• Amazing high image quality
• VXD AF motor provides high speed, high precision, and excellent quietness
• TAMRON’s acclaimed VC delivers excellent image stabilization
• Telephoto-macro shooting unleashes excellent close-range shooting performance

Compact 750mm equivalent

Although it reaches the ultra-telephoto focal length equivalent of 750mm, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is still quite compact in size with a length of just 209.9mm (8.3 in) and a maximum diameter of 93mm. Even when extended fully to the telephoto end, the length of the lens is only 284.9mm (11.2 in) so it can be used comfortably. The lens zooms from 150mm to 500mm by rotating the zoom ring through an arc of just 75° that enables rapid adjustment to the desired angle of view with minimal movement, avoiding missed opportunities and facilitating intuitive composition.

Amazing high image quality

The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups. The generous and effective use of special lens elements including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element, five LD (Low Dispersion) elements, and two Hybrid Aspherical lens elements thoroughly controls aberrations including axial chromatic aberrations. And because the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras, it delivers extremely high image quality and overall performance across the entire zoom range, in the center and from edge-to-edge.

VXD AF motor provides high speed

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 features the VXD linear motor focus mechanism. VXD delivers high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures responsive performance. Additionally, the linear motor also reduces drive noise and vibrations produced during focusing (as compared to a conventional drive system), making it ideal for shooting both still photos and video in low-noise environments

TAMRON’s acclaimed VC delivers excellent image stabilization

The slim, compact 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with TAMRON’s VC mechanism. The lens features a VC mode selection switch with three settings (Mode 1: Standard, Mode 2: Exclusively for Panning, and Mode 3: Framing Priority) so the ideal VC mode can be invoked to match shooting conditions. This functionality delivers excellent image stabilization performance, enabling efficient reduction of image blur caused by camera shake.

Telephoto-macro shooting unleashes excellent close-range shooting performance

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 offers excellent close-up shooting capabilities for an ultra-telephoto lens. The MOD is 0.6m (23.6 in) at the 150mm end and 1.8m (70.9 in) at the 500mm telephoto end. The maximum magnification ratio at 150mm is exceptionally high at 1:3.1 (the full-frame equivalent of 1:2.1). Users can shoot powerful telephoto-macro images of subjects including flowers and insects while maintaining a reasonable shooting distance — closer than you can get with conventional ultratelephoto zoom lenses.
