The 50-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD (Model A069) is a groundbreaking telephoto zoom lens that provides the same sense of size as a 70-300mm, and was created in response to feedback from users who want to “zoom out just a little more.” By starting from 50mm at the wide end (the “standard” zoom length), this new zoom lens is ideal for situations where 70mm would feel somewhat tight. This extra focal length range expands the possibilities for photographic expression while allowing photographers to work more freely for a variety of subjects and situations such as sporting events, natural landscapes, and wildlife. Unlike a conventional 4x 70-300mm, this compact 6x lens zooms from 50mm yet boasts a length of just 150mm and a class-leading light weight of 665g. Additionally, it’s equipped with Tamron’s highly effective VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism. These features also make it a great fit for an APS-C format camera that tends to be smaller in size compared with a full-frame camera. With its outstanding portability and convenience, you can enjoy greater versatility and highly immersive shooting experiences.
