Tamron 17-50mm f4 Di III VXD Lens - Sony FE Mount

The world's first lens that covers from ultra wide-angle through the standard range, 17-50mm

The Tamron 17-50mm F/4 Di III VXD covers a versatile zoom range from ultra-wide through standard focal lengths-no need to switch lenses. From dynamic landscapes to casual snaps and portraits in the standard range, the rich variation is possible with a single compact lens. The excellent close-range shooting performance provides an MOD of 0.19m at the wide end and 0.3m at the tele end.

What’s more, the constant F4 aperture throughout the whole range makes it ideal not just for still images but also video shooting. The 17-50mm F4 will dramatically expand your range of expression, paving the way to all-new creative photographic experiences.

Advanced optical performance with rich bokeh at F4

The optical construction of the 17-50mm F4 consists of 15 elements in 13 groups.

With the precise arrangement of special lens elements, including three LD, one GM and two hybrid aspherical lens elements, chromatic and other aberrations are effectively suppressed. The resolving power across the entire frame with clarity and sharpness, and full use of the rich bokeh delivered by the F4 wide-open aperture get you close to that perfect shot.

Compact, lightweight body and internal zooming for comfortable shooting

The 17-50mm F4 weighs just 460g and is a compact 114.4mm long, a size that's well-balanced even when attached to a Sony mirrorless camera body. The lens has a fixed barrel length and internal zoom mechanism that make it easy to maintain framing while shooting still images and video, and easily balanced with a video rig or gimbal stabiliser. The highly portable 17-50mm F4 features Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating on the front and rear lens surfaces, providing durability in natural environments.

Compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility software

The 17-50mm F/4 Di III VXD is compatible with the TAMRON Lens Utility software developed in-house by TAMRON. TAMRON Lens Utility lets users change lens settings, assign camera body functions, and update firmware when necessary. Users may customise functions for various still photography and videography shooting styles, for a more personalised and fulfilling shooting experience.

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.

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.

Internal Focusing (IF) System

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.

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.

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.
