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.

  • Very good sharpness and colors. Great value at $399
Excellent sharpness and colors and price. The value proposition for this lens is amazing. The only drawback for me is the weight, and not that it is very heavy. It is just heavy for me and when the barrel extends it becomes harder for me to hold steady. I am at the point that I need stabilization on this type of lens for my shooting experience. Your mileage may vary of course in this area, you might not have a problem keeping everything steady. Again though, image quality is very good. ... show more

  • Unbeatable for the Price - High Quality and Lightweight
This lens is an absolute steal for anyone looking for a versatile telephoto option that doesn’t break the bank. Key Highlights: -Lightweight and Compact: For a 70-300mm telephoto, it’s incredibly portable, making it perfect for outdoor shoots, wildlife photography, or simply carrying around all day without feeling weighed down. -Sharp Image Quality: The image quality is excellent, especially in good lighting conditions. Even at full zoom (300mm), the details remain sharp and clear. I’ve used this lens for wildlife photography, sports, and even some portraits, and it performs beautifully across the board. -Fast and Accurate Autofocus: The autofocus is snappy and reliable, even when tracking moving subjects. Paired with my Sony Alpha, the lens focuses quickly and consistently, whether I’m shooting stills or video. -Great Build Quality: While lightweight, the build quality doesn’t feel cheap. It’s solid and well-designed, with a comfortable grip and smooth zoom ring. -Budget-Friendly: For the price, this lens delivers exceptional value. You’re getting a versatile focal range, great optics, and a lens that’s specifically designed for mirrorless cameras—all without the premium price tag. Things to Note: -Like many telephoto lenses in this price range, it performs best in well-lit conditions. Low-light performance is decent but benefits from some post-processing or the use of a tripod. -It’s not weather-sealed, so be mindful when shooting in extreme conditions. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for an affordable telephoto zoom lens that’s easy to use, delivers sharp images, and is perfect for mirrorless systems, this lens is a no-brainer. It’s an excellent lens for beginners and enthusiasts alike, offering a great balance of quality, portability, and performance. Highly recommend it for anyone on a budget who doesn’t want to compromise on quality! ... 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

  • 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
