Description

Flexible zoom range, fast design, and compact profile, the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD is a unique take on the ubiquitous and popular telephoto zoom. Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, this lens spans a useful short-telephoto to mid-telephoto range and is characterized by its f/2.8 maximum aperture to suit working in available light conditions and for controlling depth of field. A sophisticated optical design includes a series of low dispersion and aspherical elements to correct a variety of aberrations and a BBAR-G2 coating helps to reduce flare and ghosting for high contrast and color accuracy. Additionally, Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens  has  floating elements system that is used to ensure consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, from 2.8′ to infinity. Autofocus is handled by a pair of VXD linear motor units, which deliver notably fast, accurate, and quiet focusing performance, and full-time manual focus control is also available. Suiting this lens’s use in inclement weather conditions, Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens also features a moisture-resistant construction along with a fluorine-coated front element to protect against fingerprints and smudging.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens has a versatile telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 105-270mm equivalent focal length range.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens has a bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture that affords consistent brightness throughout the zoom range and offers improved control over depth of field.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens is equipped with a six low dispersion elements, including both XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) designs, that greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to realize improved clarity and color accuracy.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens has three aspherical elements, including both glass-molded and hybrid types, that help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for high sharpness and accurate rendering throughout the zoom range.

BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating has been applied to individual elements in order to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting to achieve greater contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens has two VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motors that deliver impressively quiet, quick, and precise focusing performance to suit both stills and video applications. This focusing system offers a minimum focusing distance of 2.8′ at all focal lengths, and a 1:4.6 maximum magnification at the 180mm focal length for working with close-up subjects. Full-time manual focus override is also possible, and it is compatible with Sony’s Direct Manual Focus function or fine-tuned manual control.

Two VXD units work in conjunction with a floating elements system to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range.

When working with manual focus at the 70mm focal length position, it is possible to focus as closely as 10.6″ with a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio, however peripheral image quality may be reduced.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens has a moisture-resistant construction that benefits this lens’ use in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt, and smearing.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD Lens is equipped with a rounded nine-blade diaphragm that contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality. Zoom Lock switch prevents unwanted barrel extension during transportation.
