## Overview

The Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD is a compact, ultra-telephoto zoom lens designed for full-frame Sony mirrorless cameras. It features a versatile 150-500mm focal range (up to 750mm on APS-C), advanced VC image stabilization for handheld shooting, and a fast, silent VXD autofocus motor. Delivering high image quality throughout its zoom range, this lens is ideal for wildlife, sports, and astrophotography enthusiasts seeking professional performance without the bulk.

## Description

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is TAMRON's first ultra-telephoto zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras that reaches the 500mm focal length and when used on APS-C mirrorless format cameras, the zoom range is an approximate 225-750mm full-frame equivalent. Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens is still compact enough for comfortable handheld shooting. This zoom lets users enjoy casual shooting with steady performance and high image quality in the ultra-telephoto realm where conventional wisdom once dictated a tripod. To support handheld shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, the 150-500mm is equipped with VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a linear motor focus mechanism that delivers excellent quietness and agile performance, and TAMRON's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism for high-level image stabilization. At the 150mm end, the lens offers an MOD of 23.6” for powerful and dramatic close-ups.

Review: Amazing budget lens without the budget quality! - As the title says, this lens is high quality at a fantastic price for what it offers. I've used this to take photos of the moon, the sun, and various pets/wildlife. Tracks VERY well for a 3rd party lens when connected to my Sony a7R V. Pros: Very sharp, generous focal range, compact due to external zooming, stabilization is extremely helpful zoomed all the way in, 82mm filter size, PRICE! Cons: f/6.7 at 500mm can get tricky when lighting conditions dim, quite heavy and the balance on a Sony camera with no battery grip is super front loaded, no teleconverter support or use, external zooms can build up dust and dirt inside the lens over time. If you're looking for a lens for wildlife or just a great telephoto zoom lens, this is easily a fantastic choice. I had a hard decision between this and the Sony 200-600mm lens, and I'm glad I went with the Tamron for the compact size/length over the fully extended internal zoom build of the Sony.
Review: Solid, sharp, yet heavy. - Using with a Sony A6300&A6400. Has been a good experience. Unfortunately I need to get buff in order to handle this lens lol. A bit on the heavy side. Otherwise pretty sharp for my liking. Great build quality. Currently also using for astrophotography and has been pretty fun. Would highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing budget lens without the budget quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine choice to add extra range to the kit.
*by G***O on November 9, 2025*

An excellent long lens for landscape photography, providing standard tele-zoom range with the extra reach of 500mm. It's compact form factor takes up little additional space over a 70-200 f2.8. Very sharp! Excellent build quality and handling. So nice to have the foot come with Arca compatible grooves eliminating the need for an additional mounting plate. The 82mm filter ring provides compatibility with many filter systems.
