    • Minimum Focal Length: 70 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)

Tamron - 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Telephoto Zoom Lens for Sony E-Mount - Black
4.8(35)

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. Tamron’s new 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 covers a broad telephoto zoom range yet is the world's smallest size and lightest weight, coming in at 148mm (5.8 in) long with a maximum diameter of 77mm, and weighing just 545g (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) stepping motor unit, a high-speed precision AF drive system that is remarkably quiet. Tamron's Moisture-Resistant Construction provides extra protection, while various features that are built into Sony mirrorless cameras, including "Eye AF," are supported. The 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 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. The apparent image compression and the close-up effects characteristic of telephoto lenses naturally amplify photographic expression. Zooming in on distant objects and making them appear closer is one of the joys of telephoto shooting. This zoom lens provides an entryway into that new world.

    You will take the best photos you've ever taken!

    Granted, you need to have the right camera to go with this lens. I use this SEL70300G with a Sony a7II and the photos are better than I could imagine. The Optical SteadyShot (OSS) feature plus the body stabilization in the a7II make for incredibly crisp, detailed shots without the need for a tripod (even when maxed at 300mm). Need to lower your shutter speed for more light? Want to shoot in 100 ISO (or less)? This camera and lens combo can get the job done. I have had several of my photos accepted by stock photography sites which are known for being strict on image detail, exposure, and overall quality. I had been waiting to get the right equipment before becoming a stock contributor and this lens does not disappoint. There's so much more positives to mention including the macro capabilities of the lens. I have great shots of dragonflies where it's just scary how crisp and detailed the eyes, wings, and even their little insect hairs are in the shots. Don't be fooled, this telephoto lens can do up-close shots as well. I've been able to keep it on longer without swapping because of the versatility. The Sony Nano AR coating also works very well. My shots have not suffered any lens flare or chromatic aberration (CA). The lens appears to stack up to the hype on Sony's website. Now, I'll stop sounding so biased and list some cons: • Price. I managed to get a coupon that I applied toward this lens. I would not play full retail. • The manual on-lens switches on the side of the lens slide very easily. You can unintentionally slide out of steadyshot or manual focus and not notice. This normally happens when putting the camera in the bag or taking it out. Not a big deal, just check the switches before shoots and occasionally as you shoot. • Size & Weight. I'm coming for a Sony a5100 with an SEL55210 so this SEL70300G is HUGE. The shots are amazing so it's worth it. • It takes a while for the zoom control to loosen up. It will be stiff at first, but will get much smoother after continued use. • Auto focus can be slow at times. I primarily use manual focus, but there are moments when AF is needed, especially with wildlife that may move unpredictably. All in all, it's a great lens and I'm more than satisfied with the purchase. It's my main shooter and I thoroughly enjoy going to my favorite nature spots to take beautiful photos. If you need reach, versatility, great detail, and quality, this is a great pick.

    A good G-Lens

    My first full-frame lens. Both the camera and lens are new. I'm really happy with the picture quality after using them a few times. I'm sure I'll get used to it. It's good, but it's a little heavy.

    LOVE IT!!

    I was hesitant on this lens because of the f stop, but with the f2.8 being almost double the price I decided to give it a go! I was totally blown away with how much I love this lens! It's super sharp and quick to focus. I've been able to take some amazing photos & video of my fiancé surfing with this lens. Of course video is a little unsteady at 300mm but nothing you can't correct in post! I use this lens primarily outside in good lighting, but I've been able to get some amazing photos out of it in low light setting as well (with the help of Lightroom). Highly recommend!
