Tamron 70-180 f/2.8 VXD FE (Sony E-Mount)

TheTamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD lensis a luminous telescope designed forSony-Efull-frame mirrorless cameras. This model featureslight weight and compactness

with a filter diameter of 67mm, just like the other top models 17-28mm F/2.8 and 28-75mm F/2.8.

The optical construction of the lens is made up of several specially placed optical elements that contribute to the lens' exceptional optical performance. The versatility of the lens is demonstrated by theminimum focusing distance(MOD), which is85 cm for this model. Tamron has staked everything on a newly developedfocusing systemwith the VXD motor, which isquieter and fasterthan ever before and produces beautifully clear and sharp images. There's also adust- and moisture-resistant constructionwith a fluorine coating. The A056 is fully compatible with a variety ofSONY's additional camera features

such as Fast Hybrid AF and Eye AF and with the motto 'we make light telephoto zooms user-friendly', it perfectly complements the already highly successful 17-28mm Fú2.8 and 28-75mm F/2.8 models.

The compact size extends the use of mirrorless cameras

The development and usefulness of this model deserves real admiration. The developers have combinedextremely light weight and compactnesswhile maintaining a highF/2.8 aperture

across the entire focal length. Tamron has set the standards very high with this model and is showing the direction of digital photography.

The newly developed VXD focusing motor mechanism

Tamron has specially developed itsfirst linear AF drive focusing mechanism for this model, which it callsVXD. It is faster than ever with an accuracy of 0.005 mm, one tenth the width of a human hair. These features provideunprecedentedly fast and accurate autofocus(AF)performance

, complemented by a 'floating' system consisting of two VXD units, ensuring clean, sharp images in very quiet operation. This improved AF allows photographers and filmmakers to track and record the movements of their subject and enjoy silent and undisturbed shooting.

Exceptional design for uncompromising image quality

The Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 is made up of a construction of19 optical elements in 14 groups. In total, it contains six XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) lenses and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) and hybrid aspherical lenses. The overall lens system is assembled in such a way that itprevents chromatic aberration and maintains high resolution to the edges. This model also features a special BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) surface tominimize shadows and flare

.

67mm filter diameter

The 70-180mm F/2.8 has the same filter diameter as other TAMRON models for SONY-E mirrorless cameras, greatly reducing the cost of using PL, ND and other filters.

MOD 0.85m

The minimum focusing distance for this model is 85cm. For a light telephoto lens of this type, this is admirably close.

Waterproof construction, fluorine surface, Zoom lock

You'll especially appreciate these features when shooting in challenging weather conditions. The front of the lens is also covered with aspecial fluorine coating

to protect against water and grease. You will appreciate the Zoomlock when transporting the lens or when carrying the lens behind a belt. It protects especially against unwanted ejection of the tube.

Compatible with native camera functions

The Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 is compatible with most advanced mirrorless camera features.

• Fast Hybrid AF
• Eye AF
• Direct Manual Focus (DMF)
• Built-in lens-correction system (shadows, chromatic aberration, distortion)
• firmware updates

"Dream Team" light zoom lenses for mirrorless cameras from TAMRON
