Lens Description

The Tamron Di III 17-50mm F/4 VXD is an ultra-wide to normal zoom designed for cameras with a Full-Frame sensor. This constant-aperture zoom covers a 17 to 50mm focal-range.

This 3X zoom lens focuses down to 19cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 0.26X magnification. The lens offers a Quick-Shift AF system which lets the user simply rotate the focus-ring to focus manually. A built-in focus motor is used to set the focus-distance. It allowed Tamron to optimize the motor precisely for this lens in order to maximize performance.

The lens weighs 460g. Its body is weatherproof against adverse weather such as rain and snow. Seals in key areas prevent entry of water and dust.

This lens is only available for the Sony E mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Sony E mount cameras with Full-Frame or smaller sensors.
