Smaller, a ordable 70-300mm for Sony E
TAMRON has announced a 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD lens for Sony E-mount cameras, which it claims is the world’s smallest and lightest telephoto zoom for full-frame mirrorless, weighing 545g and measuring 148mm.
The lens, which is also more affordable than the Sony version, supports features such as Fast Hybrid AF, Eye AF, Direct Manual Focus and technology such as in-camera lens correction and camera-based rmware updates. Key speci cations include 15 elements in 10 groups, a diaphragm with seven blades, a lter size of 67mm and moisture resistance along the lens barrel. ‘In addition, the AF drive system incorporates the exceptionally quiet RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor,’ says Tamron. ‘Because this lens is compatible with Sony camera features, including in-body image stabilisation and Eye AF, you can enjoy comfortable, high-speed, high-precision telephoto photography, even handheld.’ The lens itself is not stabilised, however.
The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD is due to go on sale from 29 October, priced at £649.99. Contact your local Tamron dealer for more information.
