Features

  • Versatile ultra Telephoto zoom for Sony E-mount full-frame-format mirrorless cameras with a 225-750mm equivalent focal length when used on an APS-C format camera body.
  • VC image stabilization facilitates shooting handheld at the 500mm ultra-telephoto position, with three modes: standard, panning, and framing priority.
  • XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion), and GM (Glass-Molded Aspherical) elements greatly reduce color fringing, chromatic aberrations, and image distortion throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy.
  • Rotating Arca-type tripod mount with incorporated strap attachment loops.
  • Switches redesigned for improved operability, plus Flex Zoom Lock mechanism to hold zoom position.

Description

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is TAMRON's first ultra-telephoto zoom lens for full- frame mirrorless cameras that reaches the 500mm focal length and when used on APS-C mirrorless format cameras, the zoom range is an approximate 225-750mm full-frame equivalent. Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens is still compact enough for comfortable handheld shooting. This zoom lets users enjoy casual shooting with steady performance and high image quality in the ultra-telephoto realm where conventional wisdom once dictated a tripod. To support handheld shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, the 150-500mm 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. At the 150mm end, the lens offers an MOD of 23.6” for powerful and dramatic close-ups.

Brand: Tamron

  • Amazing budget lens without the budget quality!
As the title says, this lens is high quality at a fantastic price for what it offers. I've used this to take photos of the moon, the sun, and various pets/wildlife. Tracks VERY well for a 3rd party lens when connected to my Sony a7R V. Pros: Very sharp, generous focal range, compact due to external zooming, stabilization is extremely helpful zoomed all the way in, 82mm filter size, PRICE! Cons: f/6.7 at 500mm can get tricky when lighting conditions dim, quite heavy and the balance on a Sony camera with no battery grip is super front loaded, no teleconverter support or use, external zooms can build up dust and dirt inside the lens over time. If you're looking for a lens for wildlife or just a great telephoto zoom lens, this is easily a fantastic choice. I had a hard decision between this and the Sony 200-600mm lens, and I'm glad I went with the Tamron for the compact size/length over the fully extended internal zoom build of the Sony. ... show more

  • Great lens for an awesome price.
Really liking the lens so far. Its pretty sharp and on my a6000 zooms in far enough to get some great shots without disturbing any wildlife.

  • Great lens for the price, hard to beat other features like Tamron's 6 year warranty
So far so good, I bought this during the recent Prime day sale, but want to run it through a few paces with my dog (she's the one with the red harness) at the local dog park before making a full review. Only thing I couldn't quite try, was more action shots, but there wasn't anyone else there this morning throwing toys to their dogs. While I typically buy used, in this case between the sale and Tamron's good warranty period vs Sony or Sigma, it swung me towards this, as sample variation is a thing, and worse case, send it in to Tamron for adjustment. Fortunately, this seems like a sharp copy and I don't see the need to send it in for tweaking. First two attachments are at 500 mm, 3rd is at 150 mm, shutter priority on a a7III. Only cons, and it's somewhat unavoidable, is that longer telephotos are a bit heavy, at about 4 pounds for this lens, and between the camera, lens, and battery grip not quite 6.5 pounds. Ideally, use a tripod, but that's not always practical. ... show more

  • Great image quality
Wasn't expecting this lens to be this good. Good build quality. Great image quality from my Sony A7Siii. Very sharp works best in bright lighting conditions. Lens is heavy so use of a mono or tripod is requisite at the long end.

  • Excellent reach,clarity, sharpness
This is the best value long lens out there. There are cheaper lenses available yet none with this level of quality. I paid about $1,200 for mine and I'll put it up against the much more expensive sony 200mm-600mm any day. And when you combine the quality, reach, and portability there is no peer. 'nuff said! ... show more

  • Great lens for shooting sports and wildlife!
This is a great lens for sports and wildlife pictures. I use this lens with my Sony a6400 and the combination takes great photographs. Autofocus is quick and responsive and the images are very sharp. I really like the added reach compared to my previous Sony 55-210 lens which didn't have enough reach to cover a whole football field. With the Tamron 150-500 I can definitely cover the whole field from a single spot and get good photos of the action at the other end of the field. The only downsides to the lens is it's weight, which is a touch above average. I do not mind this as the lens uses metal throughout instead of flimsier plastic. ... show more

  • Fantastic lens!
This lens is worth every penny! It works flawlessly. I have carried this lens through the swamps of Louisana for days on end and it worked great with tack sharp images. I have no problem hand holding it and getting sharp in focus images. Highly recommended!!
