Description

The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (Model A047) for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras is a telephoto zoom lens designed and created so photographers of all skill levels can enjoy high quality images comfortably. It achieves the world's smallest size and lightest weight, coming in at 5.8 in. long with a maximum diameter of 77mm, and weighing just 19.2 oz. With special emphasis on resolving power, Tamron has deployed special lens elements appropriately arranged to correct chromatic aberration, generally very strong in a telephoto lens, as well as other aberrations. Users can enjoy high- resolution images combined with the stunning bokeh qualities that are achievable only with a telephoto lens. The lens also incorporates the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) unit, a high-speed precision AF drive system that is remarkably quiet. The 70-300mm is a versatile lens for photographing landscapes, sports and other action, pets and wildlife and more. The lens also demonstrates its potential for portrait shooting, casual snapshots and scenarios that require you to be mobile and shoot handheld, like sporting events. Designed for full-frame, the lens is at home on APS-C mirrorless cameras and provides a 105-450mm equivalent field-of-view.

  • Great lens for the price and picture quality
This lens is my first 300mm for my Sony Camera gear. It's starting to become my go-to lens, serving me well in wildlife photography and enabling some stunning panoramic shots. The best part? It offers impressive sharpness, lightweight design, great autofocus, full-frame compatibility, and all this at an affordable price. However, it's fair to mention the drawbacks such as no image stabilization and no handy lock switch to prevent lens creep. But these challenges can be managed with a tripod, holding the camera steady, or if your camera supports in-body stabilization. So, should you consider this lens? I think so but that does depend on your needs. The Images I've selected have become my favorites as of now. All the image you see was taken on my Sony zv-e10, which happens to be a cropped sensor camera. ----UPDATE Feb 28, 2024---- Since my original review, I have purchased a Sony A7iii full-frame camera with in-camera stabilization. Using the Tamron lens with a camera that uses stabilization does make a world of difference. The lens barely shakes even at 300mm unlike when it's on my Sony zv-e10. Now I have noticed that since I'm using the lens in a full-frame sensor I see more of a lens curve in my images. But if you use Adobe Lightroom it can easily correct it. Still highly recommend this lens. ... show more

  • Can the Tamron 70-300 RXD compete with Sony 100-400 at 20% the cost?
It’s hard to fault the excellent Sony 100-400 but I’m at times reluctant to take a 3 lb. lens on the road or hike long back country treks with it. I’ve been seeking a lighter long tele zoom option and think I may have found a surprise winner, the Tamron 70-300 f4.5-6.3. At first I did not consider it because conventional wisdom tells us to NEVER consider any long glass without Image Stabilization (IS). I’m a longtime pro and am used to shooting major sporting events with the best long glass including 300 f2.8, 400 f2.8, 500f 4, etc. Thus, I’m picky for only the sharpest telephotos yet switched to Sony to lighten the load. (See photo of its tiny size compared with Sony and Sigma lenses.) Let’s talk about this surprising Tamron’s pros and cons: The Tamron 70-180 is the first non-Nikon, Canon or Sony lens I’ve ever used in a 30 year career and have been blown away by it. The missing IS has been little concern since it’s easy to handle and is a constant f2.8, allowing higher shutter speeds in low light. It’s easy for a pro to at first dismiss the new under $500 Tamron 70-300 but it is indeed truly sharp unless you pixel peep the corners. For long glass, corner sharpness is of less concern for many of us although that would be a deal killer in a wide angle lens. Before taking a flyer on this Tamron, I first auditioned the Sony 70-350, fully intending to be happy with the compromise of having to use it in APS-C mode, yielding files of 26.2MP on my A7R4 that normally outputs 61MP. The copy I received wasn’t as sharp as I’d hoped. Of course, it is truly hard to compete with the rockin’ yet $2,500 Sony 100-400. I’d heard good things about the 70-350 with its quick linear motor, etc., that I probably expected too much and was a bit underwhelmed upon first testing it. Since I love my Tamron 70-180 I thought I’d give this full frame Tamron a dark-horse try at joining my stable of a dozen lenses, mostly Sony’s except for the 70-180, the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and the also stellar Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro. Bottom line: This 70-300 Tamron is darned impressive and uber sharp! I’m going to learn to work around its one key disadvantage of no Image Stabilization. Why own both the 100-400 and this Tamron? Simply said: Weight. The Sony is a well-balanced and manageable three pounds. Yet, the Tamron is a light lil’ baby at a mere 19 ounces and 20% the cost! If I choose APS-C mode this lens gives me 105-450mm reach, and is still sharp. At the long end, the Sony allows max f5.6 while this Tamron shoots 1/3 stop slower at 6.3. It focuses fast yet is no f-stop speed demon and even with the A7R4 in-body IS stabilization, in early use I am getting more perfect keepers at 1/500 than I do at 1/320 or 1/250. If light becomes an issue, my Tamron 70-180 shoots as long as 270mm at f2.8 in APS-C. I’m happily keeping the hard-to-fault Sony 100-400 but this Tamron 70-300 delivers truly impressive pro-worthy images, too, if you don’t mind upping ISO slightly when lighting conditions get a bit more challenging. ... show more

  • Lens creep
This is a decent lens and very light but the lens cap is a pain to get back on and the lens is constantly telescoping out which is super annoying. Picture quality is passable, not too bad for the price.

  • Cheap and fantastic lens
One of the best lenses out there without breaking the bank. The only thing I don’t like is the lens does not lock, so it can extend in your bag inadvertently. Other than that it’s a fantastic lens for photos and videos!

  • Best Value Lens out There
When looking for a telephoto lens, I was expecting to spend $1000-$2000 to get something decent. However, when I saw this for $450, I thought I should at least try it out, and I'm glad I did. Having tried the infamous Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM, this by no means is the same, but it's 80% of the lens, at less than 25% of the cost. I do wish the aperture could get to at best 4.0 on the wide side, but for this price, I can't complain. It's light, feels well-built, and pretty sharp. Autofocus is great and snappy. and rarely found shots that missed focus, even when compared to my brand new Sony 20-70mm f4.0 G lens. Overall a phenomenal lens that I'd highly recommend picking up if you're looking for a telephoto lens. ... show more

  • No Optical stabilization
Amazing lens with great picture quality. The 28mm is wide enough to be used for streaming. I gave image stabilization a 1 star because this lens doesn't have optical image stabilization and I knew that when purchasing it. It does have slightly more lens distortion than the sigma 24-70mm f2.8, but that's easy to fix in post. The lower cost and smaller size makes this lens a solid option. ... show more
