TAMRON Announces Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Z mount
50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD for Nikon Z Mount (Model A067)
The wider end of this unique mirrorless zoom is particularly useful for side-line sports, wildlife and other subjects that move closer as you are shooting, allowing you to continue photographing without changing lenses. The precise arrangement of special lens elements effectively delivers uncompromising high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The lens is incredibly compact at 185.8mm (7.3″) long and light at just 1,180g (41.6oz). Lighter and more compact than a conventional 100-400mm class zoom, it’s comfortable to carry all day.
The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is equipped with TAMRON’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism and VC image stabilization mechanism. These features combine with others make it possible to capture sharp images and provide users comfortable shooting opportunities even when shooting wild birds and fast-moving sports action.
Additionally, you can enjoy the world of half-macro photography with excellent close-up shooting capabilities. The MOD is a scant 0.25m (9.8″) at the 50mm end, and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:2. Furthermore, you can customize certain functions and update the firmware via the Connector Port by using the dedicated TAMRON Lens UtilityTM. For this zoom lens, TAMRON Lens Utility newly offers a “Focus Limiter” function. The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is clearly a brand-new kind of ultra-telephoto zoom lens covering 50mm standard focal length, outstanding image quality and high portability. This one lens captures a lively world with all the clarity as you desire and can guide you to new photographic experiences.
Product Highlights
Expansive 8x zoom ratio starts at 50mm “standard” and extends to 400mm ultra-telephoto
The TAMRON 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is a game-changing ultra-telephoto zoom lens with an unprecedented 8x zoom ratio that covers focal lengths from 50mm to 400mm. The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC has an unprecedented wide-end focal length of 50mm, so users can create images that not only capture a subject close up, but also utilize the background. Leveraging the versatility of this revolutionary new lens configuration, users can enjoy shooting a broad range of subjects from landscapes and wild birds to animals, portraits, sports, and small group photos, all with one single compact lens.
Absolutely superb image quality across the entire zoom range
The optical construction features 24 elements in 18 groups. The generous and effective use of special lens elements, including two XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), three LD (Low Dispersion), one GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) and one Hybrid Aspherical lens elements, thoroughly controls aberrations including axial chromatic aberrations. The TAMRON 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC also features TAMRON’s legendary BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating that minimizes ghosting and flares and expresses the minute details of subjects even under backlit conditions. No matter what circumstances you find yourself in, the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC delivers clear and crisp images shot after shot.
VXD produces high-speed, high-precision AF and excellent focus tracking
The TAMRON 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC utilizes VXD linear motor focus mechanism. It combines high-level AF speed and precision, enabling fast and accurate focusing from MOD to infinity. The excellent focus tracking performance of moving objects makes it possible to capture sharp images even when shooting wild birds and action sports. Plus, the lens is extremely quiet, so it’s perfectly suited for both still and video shooting in conditions that demand silent operation.
Compact ultra-telephoto zoom lens you’ll take everywhere
Boasting a length of just 7.3” (185.8mm) and a light weight of 41.6 oz (1,180g), the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is extraordinarily compact and easy to carry. Despite covering focal lengths from 50mm to 400mm, this lens is both smaller and lighter than conventional 100-400mm lenses. It’s ideal for those photo explorations when you don’t know what you’ll encounter. This compact ultra-telephoto zoom lens unlocks your potential to capture brilliant images of the world around you with ease and precision.
Equipped with TAMRON’s proprietary VC image stabilization
For sharp, shake-free images even at 400mm, the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is equipped with TAMRON’s proprietary VC. This potent image stabilization technology effectively reduces image blurring due to camera shake. Additionally, using AI algorithms, the lens chooses the appropriate compensation characteristics for videography at focal lengths of 100mm or less.
Half-macro photography with 1:2 magnification ratio from 50mm to 70mm focal length
Opening an exciting new world of photo possibilities, the TAMRON 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is capable of extremely high performance when shooting close-ups, particularly for an ultra-telephoto zoom lens. You can enjoy shooting with an MOD of 9.8” (0.25m) at 50mm, and half macro photography with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at focal lengths from 50mm to 70mm. Moreover, at the 400mm telephoto end, the MOD is 59.1” (1.5m), providing a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 for dynamic shots.
