Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD (Model A067) for Nikon Z mount

TAMRON announces the launch of the 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD (Model A067), an ultra-telephoto zoom lens for Nikon Z mount system full-frame mirrorless cameras. The lens will be available on Sept. 19, 2024, at $1,299 USD / $1,749 CAD.

The TAMRON 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is an ultra-telephoto zoom lens that covers from the 50mm standard focal length up to 400mm ultra telephoto. This is TAMRON’s challenge to the standard 100-400mm. Featuring an 8x zoom ratio that begins at an unprecedented 50mm (commonly called the “standard” focal length for full-frame cameras), this ultra-telephoto zoom lens is both smaller and lighter than conventional 100-400mm zoom lenses yet offers a wider angle of view on the wide end for excellent versatility. The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is amazingly compact with a length of just 7.3” (185.8mm) and a light weight of 41.6 oz (1,180g). In addition to its small size, it provides unparalleled high performance at all focal lengths. Despite the very high zoom ratio, superb image quality is delivered across the entire standard to ultra telephoto range through the effective arrangement of special lens elements. Equipped with TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism that offers excellent quietness and responsiveness, plus TAMRON’s proprietary image stabilization mechanism VC (Vibration Compensation), the lens delivers incomparable versatility for all shooting scenarios.

The lens also offers ergonomic features that support comfortable operation, such as an enhanced lens design with improved texture and tactile feel, and a Connector Port for the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility originally and uniquely developed by TAMRON. In addition, for this 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC, TAMRON Lens Utility offers a “Focus Limiter” function. An optional Arca-Swiss compatible accessory tripod mount is available for convenience when using a tripod. All in all, the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is a highly portable, versatile zoom lens that ensures users never miss a shooting opportunity, from the 50mm standard focal length up to the 400mm ultra-telephoto—and even closeups. This is truly a breakthrough product that creates an entirely new category of ultra-telephoto mirrorless zoom lenses, another first for TAMRON.
