Tamron AFA056S-700 Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E

The Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD designed for full-frame mirrorless Sony E-mount cameras redefines telephoto shooting with its lightweight construction and exceptional responsiveness. Its standout feature lies in delivering remarkable performance while maintaining a fast F/2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, all housed within the world’s lightest and most compact design, boasting a mere 67mm filter diameter, 5.9 inches in length, and weighing just 28.6 ounces. With a short 33.5-inch MOD (Minimum Object Distance), it significantly broadens the scope for photographic creativity.

Crafted by Tamron to perfectly complement full-frame mirrorless cameras, this compact, featherweight lens strikes an ideal balance between size and performance. Tamron achieved this diminutive form factor while preserving the exceptional F/2.8 aperture by opting for a 180mm focal length at the telephoto end and employing an innovative zoom mechanism. Leveraging the image stabilization capabilities of the host camera body ensures steady, shake-free shooting, even when handheld. Furthermore, maintaining a consistent 67mm filter diameter, similar to other lenses in Tamron’s full-frame mirrorless series, simplifies filter-related tasks and eliminates the hassle of juggling front caps with varying diameters during lens changes. The impressive portability of this lens transcends its utility across various fields of photography.
