Ultra-Telephoto Zoom for Sony E-Mount

The Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VXD is a super-telephoto zoom lens built for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras. On an APS-C body it delivers a 225-750mm equivalent field of view. The optical design uses 25 elements in 16 groups with XLD, LD and GM glass to suppress aberrations. A BBAR-G2 coating reduces flare and ghosting for high contrast and colour accuracy.

Variable Aperture and Focus Constraints

The maximum aperture ranges from f/5 at 150mm to f/6.7 at 500mm, limiting low-light capability at the long end. Minimum focus distance is 23.6 inches at the wide position, enabling close-up work. The VXD linear motor provides fast, quiet autofocus compatible with Sony Hybrid AF and Eye AF. VC stabilisation offers three modes for handheld shooting at 500mm.

Arca-Compatible Foot and Accessory Bundle

An Arca-type tripod foot is included, allowing direct mounting on compatible heads without a separate plate. The package adds a round lens hood, front and rear caps, an 82mm filter trio and a 64GB SD card in a cushioned bag. The 82mm front thread accepts standard filters. This kit suits photographers who want a ready-to-shoot telephoto setup; it does not suit buyers who need a constant wide aperture or internal zoom mechanism.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 150-500mm or the 225-750mm version?

They are the same lens; 150-500mm is the actual focal length on full-frame Sony E-mount, while 225-750mm is the equivalent field of view when the lens is mounted on an APS-C body.

What does the f/5-6.7 aperture mean when I am shooting at 500mm?

At 500mm the maximum aperture is f/6.7, so less light reaches the sensor than at 150mm f/5; you will need higher ISO or slower shutter speeds in the same lighting.

Does the Sony E-mount limit the 500mm reach in any way?

The native E-mount design supports full-frame coverage and all Sony AF features including Eye AF, so the 500mm reach is not capped by the mount itself.
