  • 8X zoom range covers 50mm standard focal length up to 400mm at the ultra-telephoto

  • High-speed, high-precision VXD AF means youll never miss another photo opportunity

Description

The wider end of this unique mirrorless zoom is particularly useful for side- line sports, wildlife and other subjects that move closer as you are shooting, allowing you to continue photographing without changing lenses. The precise arrangement of special lens elements effectively delivers uncompromising high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The lens is incredibly compact at 185.8mm (7.3") long and light at just 1,180g (41.6oz). Lighter and more compact than a conventional 100-400mm class zoom, it's comfortable to carry all day. The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is equipped with TAMRON’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism and VC image stabilization mechanism. These features combine with others make it possible to capture sharp images and provide users comfortable shooting opportunities even when shooting wild birds and fast- moving sports action. Additionally, you can enjoy the world of half-macro photography with excellent close-up shooting capabilities. The MOD is a scant 0.25m (9.8") at the 50mm end, and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:2. Furthermore, you can customize certain functions and update the firmware via the Connector Port by using the dedicated TAMRON Lens UtilityTM. For this zoom lens, TAMRON Lens Utility newly offers a “Focus Limiter” function. The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is clearly a brand-new kind of ultra-telephoto zoom lens covering 50mm standard focal length, outstanding image quality and high portability. This one lens captures a lively world with all the clarity as you desire and can guide you to new photographic experiences.

Tamron 50-400mm is super impressive
This is an amazing lens. Before purchasing the Tamron 50-400mm Z, I researched many YouTube and blog reviews, customer comments, websites, etc. - Summary everyone is impressed with this sharp and versatile lens. My experience using it with a Nikon Z7ii is amazing, the optics is great, the build is great, functions great, and it is lighter than I expected (it can be used handheld or with a tripod). It is easy to hold, focus, and shoot. Super impressive. I have several Nikon Z S series lenses and this lens is clearly designed and built to the same standards. It is a performer. I also bought a collar and a bag designed for this lens size. I am very pleased with this purchase. BTW: Researched to be sure my lens was sold and shipped through Amazon, an authorized dealer. Applied the serial number to Tamron for registeration and it was accepted. Update: I've had more time to use this lens still very impressed with every aspect of this lens. The moon photo was taken hand held. I am amazed with the results. ... show more

Heard to beat all in one lens
For the price, this lens is hard to beat. The 50-400 range makes it perfect for a lot of travel uses, letting you capture photos outside or indoors, at places like zoos, or for use in portraiture. Its very easy to use on the camera body, as it attaches like any other lens. Future functionality is supported via a USB port, allowing you to update the lens as needed. Autofocus on my Nikon Z6 III is fast and accurate in both continuous and single focus mode. It is F/6.3 when fully zoomed out to 400 mm, and on a normal bright day outdoors, this is not an issue. If, for some reason, you're using it at this focal range indoors, you may need to add flash or supplemental lighting. While you can treat the Lens Fn button and focus ring the same with the Tamron as you do with Nikkor lenses (via Custom Setting #F2), if you download the Tamron Lens Utility, you have access to additional functions on the Custom switch. Color quality is very good with no distortions. In terms of photo sharpness, the lens is sharpest at the center, especially at full zoom, with some softness at the very far edges, but nothing that is a show stopper. There is also some vignetting at the corners at 400mm, but again, nothing that is super impactful. Overall, this is a high-performing lens that gets 4 stars only because it is slightly heavy. It's about half the price of the Nikon 100-400mm with just good performance in my opinion. ... show more

Wow! Amazing lens
I've always been of the mindset that, if I have a Nikon camera - just get the native Nikkor lenses that made especially for the camera. And that's what I did when putting together my kit ... all Z lenses, and mostly from Nikon S-series. The only lens I didn't have was a long tele-zoom lens - the 100 - 400 mm was drool-worthy, as was the 180 - 600 mm ... except for two things. They were both too long to fit in the sling camera bag I carry ... and, the price. They were $800 and $1,000 more (even on sale) than the Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di IIIVXD. So, after reading & watching a ton of reviews I thought I'd give the Tamron a try. And it has blown me away. Image quality is crazy good (the bokeh on the attached pelican photo was at f.6.3!), auto-focus is real fast, and the lens is even comfortable and light enough to use hand held - and without a collar on my tripod. And as importantly (to me) - the lens is one of the smallest zooms at 7.2" long ... meaning it fits into my sling camera bag. Highy, highly recommend this lens - the best $1,199 you'll ever spend for image quality. ... show more

Sharp and Capable
This lens is sharp and very capable. At a fraction of the cost of the Nikkor 100-400, it really impressed me for its image quality, stabilization performance and portability. Highly recommended.

Nice lens
Good utility lens. Better quality photos than my old Nikor 18-300

Good lens at a Good Price
Good value for the money. Very wide focal length range. Not a very sharpest lens and f-stop is too large to be good at night. This makes sense if you dont need great image quality, do not plan to shoot in the dark, and prefer lighter lens. For better image quality, brighter photos, or a more durable well built lens, look at the Nikkor Z 100-400mm VR S. You don't get the 50 - 100mm, but you will like the image quality. For low end, the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 will out perform this. Again, this is a good lens. Its light, versatile, reasonably priced and takes good images when subject is well lit. Image quality is maybe 7.5/10. Notable vignetting. ... show more

Crappy OIS
OIS is Ok at best for photos and abysmal for video... Took this to Virginia Beach for the Blue Angels along with my Z6III and I'd say out of 7500+ pictures 2500 or less were absolutely sharp and the video was so unstable it was heart breaking. I have the 35-150 F2-2.8 and wish I had brought it instead! Please fix the VC and also give us the ability to turn it off for video and use IBIS instead! ... show more

For Nikon. This is an excellent buy. Just overall a good lens. Better than the Nikon version. At a much lower price.
