Portability & Power

A travel-friendly zoom with a sweeping focal range, the 28-300mm f/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD Lens from Tamron offers users the flexibility to capture wide-angle scenes as easily as intimate close-ups. Designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless camera systems, this lens features a lightweight design, weighing just 1.3 lbs. Handheld shooting is enhanced by Tamron’s Vibration Compensation (VC) technology, which provides the necessary camera shake reduction for capturing images at telephoto focal lengths. Its moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating on the front lens element ensure dependability in the field, preventing interference from liquids, dust, and fingerprints. With its vast zoom range, high build quality, and portability, the 28-300mm f/4-7.1 serves as a versatile all-in-one solution for capturing a variety of subjects, from landscapes and nature to portraits and sports.

High Speed AF with VC (Vibration Compensation)

Powered by Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, the lens delivers high-speed autofocus performance and precision. Users can expect smooth focus tracking that accommodates sudden movements by the subject. This linear motor also minimizes noise during focusing, making it ideal for video and situations where discretion is needed.

Impressive Optical Design

The lens construction of the 28-300mm f/4-7.1 includes 20 elements in 13 groups, incorporating one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), one LD (Low Dispersion), and three GM (Glass-Molded Aspherical) lenses to effectively control chromatic aberrations. The nine-bladed diaphragm contributes to smooth and attractive bokeh.
