ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The Tamron A069 50-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD is an unconventional ultra multi-telephoto zoom for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, offering a versatile 50-300mm range in a remarkably compact and lightweight design.

Ideal for sports, wildlife, landscapes and outdoor portraits, it delivers exceptional reach while maintaining a class-leading weight of just 665g and a compact 150mm length.

With high-resolution optics, Tamron's advanced VC (Vibration Compensation) stabilization and fast VXD linear motor autofocus, the 50-300mm is built for immersive, versatile shooting experiences.
