Standing as the first Tamron ultra-telephoto 500mm zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, the 150-500mm f5-6.7 is packed full of features to excel in the hands of pro-level photographers and videographers. Due to its compact form-factor, balanced design, and overall weight of 1.72kg, you can be confident in shooting handheld - even at the full 500mm extension. This is backed up by Tamron's intuitive VC mechanism to allow for high-level image stabilisation, as well as its high-tech VXD linear motor. In short, this is an in-built focus mechanism that facilitates lightning-fast, accurate, quiet, and comfortable focusing. Ideal for quick-action sporting events, bird, and aviation photography - this lens further doubles as a powerful tele-macro system. At 150mm, it offers an exceptional MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.6m for striking and dynamic close-up photography.
