Despite its performance, the lens remains compact and lightweight at just 183.4 mm (7.2″) long and weighing 1,155g (40.7oz) for Sony mount and 185.8 mm (7.3″) long and weighing 1,180g (41.6oz) for Nikon.

Covers 50mm standard focal length up to 400mm at the ultra-telephoto range
One of the greatest features of the 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 is its dramatically broad range of focal lengths which covers standard to ultra-telephoto, delivering an 8x zoom ratio. With 50mm on the wide side, you can create images that capture both the subject and the background. The wide end is also extremely useful when shooting subjects that may continuously move closer and further away, such as when whale watching, shooting sports at the sidelines, and photographing animals in habitats. Users can enjoy shooting a vast variety of subjects from landscapes and wild birds to animals, sports and small groups. Despite its wide range and capabilities, the compact and lightweight 50-400mm lens measures just 183.4mm (7.2″) and weighs 1,155g (40.7oz) for Sony. This makes the lens easy to handle, and also makes it useful in situations like air travel when you want to reduce the bulk you are carrying.
Outstanding image quality throughout the entire 50-400mm zoom range
The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 was developed in pursuit of high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The optical construction features 24 elements in 18 groups. The generous and effective use of special lens elements, including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), LD (Low Dispersion) and Hybrid Aspherical lens elements thoroughly controls aberrations including axial chromatic aberrations. The 50-400mm lens also features BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating that minimizes ghosting and flare and expresses the minute details of subjects even under backlit conditions. Enjoy clear and sharp resolution to the edges of the frame, plus the soft, beautiful bokeh effects of the type that only an ultra-telephoto can create.


High-speed, high-precision AF means you’ll never miss another photo opportunity
The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 ultra-telephoto zoom lens utilizes the renowned VXD linear motor focus mechanism. This advanced AF mechanism combines class-leading speed and precision, enabling fast and accurate focusing from MOD through to infinity. Excellent focus tracking performance of moving objects makes it possible to capture sharp images even when shooting wild birds and fast sports action.
TAMRON's proprietary VC takes the shakes out of handheld shooting
The ultra-telephoto zoom lens is equipped with TAMRON’s proprietary VC mechanism, and effectively controls camera shake that can occur when shooting at telephoto focal lengths. It also helps reduce fuzzy pictures when shooting handheld in low-light conditions or at slower shutter speeds. Furthermore, using AI technologies, the lens chooses the appropriate compensation characteristics for videography at focal lengths of 100mm or less.
