All-in-one zoom for APS-C mirrorless

The Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD is the world's first 16.6x all-in-one zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. It covers a focal length range of 18-300mm, equivalent to 27-450mm on full-frame cameras. This single lens handles wide-angle landscapes through to ultra-telephoto compression. It suits photographers who want extensive focal coverage without changing lenses.

Wide-to-telephoto versatility in one mount

The lens mounts directly to Sony E-mount APS-C bodies and accepts 67mm filters across its entire zoom range. Its minimum object distance of 0.15 m (5.9 in) at 18mm allows close-up work with a working distance of 0.2 in. The built-in Vibration Compensation stabilises handheld shooting at long focal lengths. A flower-shaped hood and caps are included for protection.

Sustained autofocus with VXD linear motor

The VXD linear motor focus mechanism delivers fast, precise autofocus that maintains accuracy during extended shooting sessions. It tracks moving subjects reliably across the full 18-300mm range without hunting. The optical construction uses aspherical and special elements to preserve image quality from wide-angle to telephoto. This performance supports both stills and video capture over long periods.

Questions about this item

How close can I focus at the 18 mm wide end with the 1:2 magnification ratio?

At 18 mm the minimum object distance is .15 m (5.9 in), giving a working distance of about .2 m from the front element for 1:2 close-ups.

Does the lens stay quiet and cool during a full day of video or burst shooting?

The VXD linear motor focuses silently and the VC stabilisation runs without audible whir, so heat and noise stay low during extended sessions.

Which camera bodies can I mount this 67 mm filter-thread lens on without an adapter?

It fits Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless bodies directly; the 67 mm thread also matches other Tamron mirrorless lenses for shared filters.
