TAMRON Objektiv 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD For Sony Alpha CSC E-Mount
Light weight and easy to use - with this telephoto zoom you will be happy to take pictures
The 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (model A056) is a fast standard telephoto zoom lens developed for mirrorless full format cameras from Sony. Its most outstanding feature is the high image quality with a consistently high open aperture of F/2.8 as well as its handy housing. With a length of only 149 mm (at 70mm) and a weight of only 810 g, it is the lightest and most compact lens in its class1. Several special optical glasses ensure excellent imaging performance from the centre to the edges of the image. Automatic focusing takes place with the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) autofocus newly developed by Tamron. The short focusing distance of 0.85 m opens up new photographic expression options for the user. A special feature of the 70-180mm F/2.8 is its ability to focus an object at 70mm with manual focus from a short distance of only 0.27m2. With this lightweight telephoto zoom lens, you can get close to the motif in any situation - and reward yourself with a perfect shot!
The fastest autofocus motor Tamron has developed so far
The VXD autofocus is a world premiere: It is the first linear focus motor developed by Tamron for outstanding automatic focusing. Two VXD modules, which operate in a floating system and are controlled by electronic pulses, ensure fast and precise focusing on near and far lenses. The new motor also guarantees improved AF tracking, for example when shooting sports. The autofocus works so quietly at the same time that you can take pictures even in situations that require absolute silence. In short: When it matters, you can rely on the 70-180mm F/2.8 - whether you're taking photos or videos.
Nearest focusing distance only 0.85 m
The shortest focusing distance of the 70-180mm F/2.8 is only 0.85 m regardless of the selected focal length. This is exceptionally short for a fast telephoto zoom lens. At 180mm, this results in a maximum image scale of 1:4.6 - ideal for expressive close-ups.
Versatile lenses with a uniform filter size
All available Tamron E-mount lenses have the same filter thread (o 67 mm), so that the same filters and lens caps can be used with all models. All lenses are similarly compact and can be easily transported as a set.
The SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 - The DSLR alternative to the 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD for Canon and Nikon
The SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 for DSLR cameras from Canon and Nikon practically corresponds to its "sister lens" 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD for mirrorless full format cameras from Sony with respect to performance. The two classic, fast telephoto zoom lenses offer an open aperture of F/2.8, a fast and precise autofocus and a comparably high image quality. Due to their almost identical focal length range, they are equally suitable for a variety of demanding shooting situations and are for example often used in portrait and sports photography.
Additional product features
BBAR G2
Broad Band Anti-Reflection– The BBAR multi-coating ensures brilliant images with natural colours. It reduces the reflection of light rays hitting the lens surface. The more advanced BBAR G2 coating has been used since 2019.
Zoom Lock (ZL) Mechanism
Zoom Lock – The ZL mechanism prevents unwanted extension of the tube during transport. The lock, which is activated by a switch, protects the lens from damage and at the same time guarantees that it is quickly ready for use.
FLR
Fluorine Coating – Fluorine Coating protects the front lens from contamination. It prevents oil and water droplets from sticking to the surface. Fingerprints and dirt are easier to remove.
Internal Focusing (IF) System
Internal Focus – Internal focusing prevents the barrel from extending and rotating during focusing. The lens is easier to handle and is suitable for use with polarising or gradation filters.
LD (Low Dispersion)
Low Dispersion – LD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) Glass
Extra-Low Dispersion – XLD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
MR
Moisture Resistant Construction – The lens is splash-resistant. All critical areas have special seals. Lenses with this feature are ideal for outdoor use in bad weather.
VXD Autofocus
Voice-Coil Extreme-Torque Drive – The VXD autofocus guarantees fast and precise focusing on both near and far objects. The quiet focus motor responds at lightning speed and is particularly suitable for images of moving objects.
