The
Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 Lens for
Sony FE mount is a powerful and compact telephoto zoom lens that offers exceptional performance for photographers and videographers alike. Perfectly balanced with a
fast constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and offers excellent subject isolation with a beautifully shallow depth of field. The lens is designed for
Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras, making it an ideal choice for sports, wildlife, portraiture, and event photography, as well as for high-quality video production.
Key features of the lens include:
- Fast f/2.8 Constant Aperture: The f/2.8 aperture provides outstanding low-light performance, enabling crisp images even in challenging lighting. The wide aperture also creates a beautiful background blur, perfect for isolating subjects.
- Vibration Compensation (VC): The built-in VC (Vibration Compensation) system helps reduce camera shake, ensuring sharp and stable shots, even when shooting handheld or in low-light situations. This is especially useful for telephoto focal lengths where camera shake is more pronounced.
- VXD (Voice-coil Extreme Drive) Autofocus System: The lens features an advanced VXD autofocus motor, offering fast, precise, and near-silent focusing. This makes it ideal for both stills and video, providing smooth focus transitions and minimizing hunting during continuous autofocus.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: Despite its 70-180mm zoom range, the lens is compact and lightweight, making it easier to carry and handle. Weighing just 810g (1.78 lbs), it's a more portable alternative to traditional telephoto zoom lenses, providing excellent flexibility for on-the-go photographers and videographers.
- Improved Optical Performance: The second-generation G2 version incorporates a refined optical design with special low-dispersion glass elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and maintain high resolution, contrast, and color fidelity across the entire zoom range.
- Great for Video: The lens is also a fantastic choice for video creators, offering smooth and silent autofocus operation, a constant aperture for consistent exposure changes, and the ability to produce cinematic, shallow depth-of-field shots with great subject isolation.
- Full-Frame and APS-C Compatibility: The lens is compatible with both full-frame and APS-C Sony mirrorless cameras, offering a versatile focal length range of 105-270mm equivalent on APS-C cameras.
- Weather-Sealing: The lens is designed with weather-sealing, ensuring durability and protection against dust and moisture during outdoor shoots in less-than-ideal conditions.
