A telephoto zoom so compact you want to carry around everyday
Tamron has adopted a dedicated design for
mirrorless cameras and achieved a compact size once again by fixing the
aperture at F6.3 at the telephoto end. The maximum diameter is 77mm. Measuring
just 148mm (5.8 in) and weighing a mere 545g (19.2 oz), this 70-300mm F4.5-6.3
is the world’s smallest and lightest telephoto zoom lens for full-frame
mirrorless cameras. Compatible with Sony’s popular E-mount cameras, it has been
developed with the concept of enabling photographers to more easily experience
the universe of full-scale, full-frame 300mm telephoto photography.
In addition, the AF drive system incorporates the
exceptionally quiet RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor.
Because this lens is compatible with Sony camera features, including in body
image stabilization and Eye AF, you can enjoy comfortable, high-speed, high
precision telephoto photography, even handheld.
Experience the excitement of bringing distant
subjects closer as well as the perspective flattering characteristics achieved
by full-scale telephoto photography more easily than ever before. For
landscapes, sports, birds and wildlife as well as closer subjects such as
portraits and street scenes, this lens expands the range of telephoto
photography.
Superior optical performance and supreme lightweight portability
Pursuing lightweight design as a top priority,
Tamron has created a compact 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 zoom lens that makes 300mm
telephoto shooting easy and fun. The superb optical design is based on a
rigorous simulation process using state-of-the-art design technologies. As a
result, Tamron has successfully struck a balance between extreme lightness
(545g / 19.2 oz) and compactness, incorporating a slim lens barrel with a
maximum diameter of 77mm without sacrificing high image quality. The optical
design includes 15 elements in 10 groups, with an LD (Low Dispersion) lens
element precisely arranged to suppress axial chromatic and other aberrations
that are likely to happen with telephoto zoom lenses. At 300mm, a commonly used
telephoto zoom focal length, the design delivers excellent resolution from
edge-to-edge. Overall, the efficient optical construction (which also
contributes to its light weight) plus Tamron’s BBAR (Broad-Band
Anti-Reflection) Coating with its well-established reputation for
anti-reflection properties, combine to enable the photographer to capture
extremely clear, crisp images across the entire zoom range. While the lens
features an advanced design with excellent core image quality, optical
performance can be enhanced even further by employing the lens correction
features found on Sony cameras.
With the introduction of this lens, all
photographers, from first-time users of full-scale telephoto zoom lenses to
experienced enthusiasts seeking a compact, lightweight telephoto zoom, can
comfortably enjoy the advantages of a powerful, versatile zoom without worry
about size or weight. Photographers who are shooting with in-camera image
stabilization or using a tripod, can reduce the burden of their gear. Moreover,
the 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 maintains good balance even when used with the APS-C
sized E-mount cameras that are smaller than full-frame cameras (e.g., Sony
α6500); consequently, users can also enjoy photography with an even greater
equivalent telephoto zoom appearance of approximately 450mm.
The RXD stepping motor unit is exceptionally quiet
The AF drive incorporates a sensor that accurately
detects the position of the lens while the RXD motor unit delivers optimized AF
control. This achieves very fast and accurate autofocus operation and allows
users to maintain tack-sharp focus on continuously moving subjects shot at the
telephoto zoom position. Thanks to the exceedingly quiet AF, the lens can be
used discreetly in concert halls and other situations that require low noise
levels, and for video recording.
Moisture-Resistant Construction for added protection
Seals are located at the lens mount area and other
critical locations to deter infiltration of moisture and/or rain drops and
afford Moisture-Resistant Construction. This feature provides an additional
layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions.
Compatible with camera-specific features and functions
Tamron’s new 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 is compatible with
many of the advanced features that are specific to certain mirrorless cameras.
These include the following:
§ Fast Hybrid AF
§ Eye AF
§ Direct Manual Focus (DMF)
§ In-camera lens correction (shading, chromatic aberration, distortion)
§ Camera-based lens unit firmware updates
* Features vary by camera. Please consult your
camera’s owner’s manual for details. (As of August, 2020)
