The TAMRON 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057) is an ultra-telephoto zoom lens for mirrorless cameras with a focal length range of 150-500mm (full-frame equivalent of 225-750mm). The lens is designed with high image quality in mind, using special lens elements and hybrid aspherical lens elements to control various potential aberrations. It also features a high-speed, high-precision linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) and VC (Vibration Compensation) to ensure no photogenic moment is ever missed. Additionally, it has an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.6m (23.6 in) at the 150mm end, an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount with strap attachment holes, and features to support outdoor shooting, including Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating. The lens is compact, even for a 500mm-class ultra-telephoto zoom lens, with a length of 209.6mm (8.3 in) and maximum diameter of 93mm, and the arc of rotation of the zoom ring is small—only 75°—which enables swift adjustment to the desired focal length with minimal movement.
