Tamron Developing 50-400mm Zoom Lens For Sony E-Mount
Tamron has revealed it is developing the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The company says it has managed to keep the size of the lens down to that of ‘conventional 100-400mm zoom lenses.’
The 50-400mm zoom lens, which is said by Tamron to be due to launch in autumn 2022, is just 183.4mm long (at 50mm), 258mm (at 400mm) and weighs 1,155g.
The lens provides up to one-half life-size magnification during close focus, with a Minimum Object Distance of 0.25m (9.8-inches) at the 50mm end of the zoom.
The lens includes Tamron’s Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive (VXD) linear motor focus mechanism that offers ‘excellent quietness and responsiveness’, plus the company’s proprietary image stabilisation mechanism, known as Vibration Compensation (VC). Read More...
