Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Nikon Z Single piece

The lens impresses with its compact design, which has a length of just 212.3 mm and a weight of just 1,720 g. The image quality remains constant across the entire Zoom range. It also has a fast and precise VXD autofocus mechanism, which ensures fast and accurate focusing. The improved VC (Vibration Compensation) enables stable results even when shooting hand-held

for close-ups the lens offers a remarkably short focusing distance of just 0.6 m at a focal length of 150 mm. A special feature of this lens is the ability to choose between two focusing settings: In the "non-linear" setting, focusing is based on the rotation speed of the ring, while in the "linear" setting, the rotation angle of the ring is used, allowing 360° rotation from MOD (minimum object distance) to infinity

A compact full-frame lens with an impressive 500 mm focal length that breaks with traditional notions

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is only 212.3mm long and has a maximum diameter of 93mm - an amazingly compact size for a 500mm-class ultra-telephoto zoom* for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Even when the lens is extended to 500 mm telephoto, it remains remarkably compact at just 287.3 mm

*For APS-C mirrorless format: approx. 225-750 mm equivalent Zoom range

Unique image quality

The optical construction consists of 25 elements in 16 groups. The effective use of special lens elements, including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element, five LD (Low Dispersion) elements and two hybrid aspherical lens elements, minimizes aberrations, including axial chromatic aberrations.including axial chromatic aberrations, are optimally reduced so that the user can enjoy exceptionally high resolution across the entire image from edge to edge.

The VXD AF motor offers high speed, high precision and outstanding smoothness

The 150-500 mm F5-6.7 is equipped with the VXD linear motor autofocus. The VXD ensures fast and highly precise movement and guarantees responsive performance. Even at a focal length of 500 mm, the lens offers fast and precise focusing from near to far. In addition, the powerful focus tracking enables the successful capture of fast-moving subjects. The linear motor is extremely quiet and reduces drive noise and vibration during focusing (compared to a conventional drive system), making it ideal for photo and video shooting in low-noise environments

TAMRON's highly acclaimed VC technology ensures first-class image stabilization

The compact 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with TAMRON's VC mechanism, which provides excellent image stabilization to effectively reduce camera shake. This function enables hand-held shooting without a tripod in low light conditions, e.g. for evening or indoor shots

The telephoto macro function opens up exciting possibilities for impressive close-ups

The 150-500 mm F5-6.7 enables outstanding close-ups for an ultra-telephoto lens. The closest focusing distance is 0.6 m at 150 mm and 1.8 m at 500 mm. The maximum magnification factor at 150 mm is extremely high at 1:3.1. The user can take powerful telephoto and macro shots of subjects at an appropriate shooting distance
