Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD for Nikon Z (Model A057)
■Super telephoto zoom lens for mirrorless cameras that realizes an astonishingly compact design The 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD (Model A057) is an extremely compact, high-quality Nikon Z mount lens that overturns common sense of super telephoto zooms up until now. While achieving a telephoto end of 500 mm, the size has been reduced to a length of 212.3 mm and a maximum diameter of φ93 mm, so handheld shooting can also be performed comfortably. We are particular about image quality, and the lens configuration has 25 elements in 16 groups, and uses special glass materials and composite aspherical lenses to suppress the occurrence of various aberrations, starting with chromatic aberrations. It is also equipped with a high speed and high accuracy linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil Extreme-Torque Drive) and an image stabilization mechanism VC (Vibration Compensation), so you won't miss any moment. Additionally, in addition to achieving a minimum shooting distance of 0.6 m with a 150 mm wide-angle end, ease of use has also been improved, such as adopting a tripod with a strap hole, a simple splash-proof structure that supports outdoor photography, and an antifouling coat. This is one that allows you to freely aim for the one shot you want to take, from landscapes to sports to wild animals. Please enjoy the impressive world of super telephoto. ■Pursuing extreme miniaturization. Considering the combination of a full-size 500mm super telephoto camera with a mirrorless single-lens camera that is comfortable to hold, we have pursued a sense of size that allows handheld shooting. With a length of 212.3 mm and a maximum diameter of φ93 mm, it has achieved astonishing miniaturization as a full-size compatible 500mm class super telephoto zoom lens. The length is reduced to approximately 283 mm even when the telephoto end is extended to 500 mm. Also, since the zoom ring rotation angle is as small as 75 degrees, it is also a feature that it is possible to quickly adjust to the target angle of view with minimal movement. ■Demonstrates excellent depiction performance throughout the zoom range Model A057 is a high-resolution lens with excellent depiction performance throughout the zoom range while covering a wide range of focal lengths. The lens configuration is 25 elements in 16 groups. Special glass XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) lenses, LD (Low Dispersion), and composite aspherical lenses are effectively arranged to achieve clear images with suppressed chromatic aberration. Furthermore, a BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating that suppresses ghosts and flares that tend to occur when shooting in backlight is used. Various subjects, such as aircraft, wild birds, and railways, are delicately drawn with soft and beautiful bokeh.
