Your cart is empty.The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (Model A047) for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras is a telephoto zoom lens designed and created so photographers of all skill levels can enjoy high quality images comfortably. It achieves the world's smallest size and lightest weight, coming in at 5.8 in. long with a maximum diameter of 77mm, and weighing just 19.2 oz. With special emphasis on resolving power, Tamron has deployed special lens elements appropriately arranged to correct chromatic aberration, generally very strong in a telephoto lens, as well as other aberrations. Users can enjoy high-resolution images combined with the stunning bokeh qualities that are achievable only with a telephoto lens. The lens also incorporates the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) unit, a high-speed precision AF drive system that is remarkably quiet. The 70-300mm is a versatile lens for photographing landscapes, sports and other action, pets and wildlife and more. The lens also demonstrates its potential for portrait shooting, casual snapshots and scenarios that require you to be mobile and shoot handheld, like sporting events. Designed for full-frame, the lens is at home on APS-C mirrorless cameras and provides a 105-450mm equivalent field-of-view.

This lens is an absolute steal for anyone looking for a versatile telephoto option that doesn’t break the bank.Key Highlights:-Lightweight and Compact: For a 70-300mm telephoto, it’s incredibly portable, making it perfect for outdoor shoots, wildlife photography, or simply carrying around all day without feeling weighed down.-Sharp Image Quality: The image quality is excellent, especially in good lighting conditions. Even at full zoom (300mm), the details remain sharp and clear. I’ve used this lens for wildlife photography, sports, and even some portraits, and it performs beautifully across the board.-Fast and Accurate Autofocus: The autofocus is snappy and reliable, even when tracking moving subjects. Paired with my Sony Alpha, the lens focuses quickly and consistently, whether I’m shooting stills or video.-Great Build Quality: While lightweight, the build quality doesn’t feel cheap. It’s solid and well-designed, with a comfortable grip and smooth zoom ring.-Budget-Friendly: For the price, this lens delivers exceptional value. You’re getting a versatile focal range, great optics, and a lens that’s specifically designed for mirrorless cameras—all without the premium price tag.Things to Note:-Like many telephoto lenses in this price range, it performs best in well-lit conditions.

Mejoro mucho elalcnace y la nitide, lo uso por a fotografía deportiva en atletismo y tira a 100mts con buena calidad, a mano alzada sin dificultad, mejora la nitides con un tripié o mono pie, pero dificulta tomar fotos en movimiento. No es bueno con poca luz lo prove en dos eventos de 15 años por curiosidad y las fotos no tienen nitidez como en espacio libre.. lo recomiendo simqiieres dar un salto al mejorar la nitidez comparado con tú lente de kit y da buenos boke. El lente lo uso con mi cámara Sony 6100 montura E.

Amazing lens with great picture quality. The 28mm is wide enough to be used for streaming. I gave image stabilization a 1 star because this lens doesn't have optical image stabilization and I knew that when purchasing it. It does have slightly more lens distortion than the sigma 24-70mm f2.8, but that's easy to fix in post. The lower cost and smaller size makes this lens a solid option.

This lens is my first 300mm for my Sony Camera gear. It's starting to become my go-to lens, serving me well in wildlife photography and enabling some stunning panoramic shots. The best part? It offers impressive sharpness, lightweight design, great autofocus, full-frame compatibility, and all this at an affordable price.However, it's fair to mention the drawbacks such as no image stabilization and no handy lock switch to prevent lens creep. But these challenges can be managed with a tripod, holding the camera steady, or if your camera supports in-body stabilization.So, should you consider this lens? I think so but that does depend on your needs. The Images I've selected have become my favorites as of now. All the image you see was taken on my Sony zv-e10, which happens to be a cropped sensor camera.----UPDATE Feb 28, 2024----Since my original review, I have purchased a Sony A7iii full-frame camera with in-camera stabilization. Using the Tamron lens with a camera that uses stabilization does make a world of difference. The lens barely shakes even at 300mm unlike when it's on my Sony zv-e10. Now I have noticed that since I'm using the lens in a full-frame sensor I see more of a lens curve in my images. But if you use Adobe Lightroom it can easily correct it. Still highly recommend this lens.——Update July 7th, 2024——Since my last update in February, I can confidently say that this Tamron lens has become my daily driver when using my full-frame camera. Its versatility continues to amaze me, handling everything from fast-moving wildlife to delicate flower photography with ease. For the price, and considering it’s a full-frame lens, it has transformed my photography in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I’ve added some new photos to my review to showcase its capabilities. As mentioned before, you’ll need to use your editing software to enable lens corrections, but this really depends on the image you’re taking. After using this lens for 7 months, I can attest that it’s been a worthwhile investment.

Switched from an EF mount Sigma 100-400mm lens, and find this is so much more versatile and has slightly better image quality. Focus is a little bit faster & more accurate, but the main benefit is size and weight. IQ is a bit sharper and more pleasing, too, and it seems to auto-expose better on my Sony cameras. I don't really miss the extra 100mm to be honest.Pros:- light, small - easy to carry around or have in the camera bag- good IQ, even without considering price- works very well with the Sony body, including in-body stabilizationCons:- plastic- no zoom lock means it often extends when carried barrel-down- "slow" lens (narrow aperture) but completely expected given price point & weightHighly recommended for a backyard birdwatcher or casual photographer looking to get a little reach in their photos.(If you're curious about the birds, that's an Anna's hummingbird and a goldfinch that I think was either very lazy, overfed, or young. There was a female nearby working hard while he watched, and he wasn't a great flier).
