Another Long-Ranger for X-Mount

Tamron has announced the 150500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057), an ultra-telephoto zoom lens for Fujifilm X-mount.

At the 150mm end, the lens offers a Minimum Object Distance of 0.6m (23.6 in) for dramatic close-ups. Although it reaches the ultra-telephoto focal length equivalent of 750mm, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is quite compact in size with a length of just 209.9mm and a maximum diameter of 93mm.

Even when extended fully to the telephoto end, the length of the lens is only 284.9mm long. The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups. Use of special lens elements including one XLD, five LD, and two Hybrid Aspherical elements controls aberrations including axial chromatic aberrations.

The 150-500mm f/5-6.7 features the VXD linear motor, which delivers highspeed and high-precision movement and ensures responsive performance. Additionally, the linear motor also reduces drive noise and vibrations produced during focusing.
