Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3 SP Di USD Lens - Sony Fit

Designed for full-frame and APS-C format Sony DSLR cameras, the Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3 SP Di VC USD telephoto zoom lens offers a versatile focal range in a compact, lightweight design. This powerful lens enables you to capture wildlife close up, in detail, or at a distance in its natural habitat, without disturbing its activity.

Tamron's Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) allows you to shoot crisp images of fast-moving, distant subjects, and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including sports, wildlife, travel, and portraits.

Advanced optical technology
3 x LD (Low Dispersion) elements are effectively arranged to correct chromatic aberrations; a challenging problem when shooting at long distances and at long focal-length settings. Tamron‘s eBAND Coating and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating help suppress flare and ghosting for class-leading image quality.

New eBAND (Extended Bandwidth and Angular-Dependency) Coating
This new coating technique developed by Tamron deploys a nano-structured layer (1 nm = 1/1,000,000 mm) with an ultra-low refractive index, and dimensions smaller than the wavelengths of visible light. This nano-structured layer coupled with the sophisticated multiple layer coatings underneath yields significant anti-reflection properties, efficiently reducing undesired flare and ghosting to an absolute minimum to deliver sharp, crisp images.

Compact and stylish
While covering a very wide range of focal lengths, this lens is remarkably compact and accepts 95 mm filters. Its stylish design, with signature Tamron tungsten silver finish and elegant brand ring, incorporates a sturdy tripod mount to enhance both stability and ease of use.

Moisture-resistant construction
A moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture from penetrating the lens.

Di: Digitally Integrated Design
A new generation of lenses designed for optimized use with DSLR cameras (APS-C format and full-frame) by means of superior designs and multi-coating techniques. The same outstanding performance is also achieved with conventional cameras.

SP - Super Performance
Tamron´s Super Performance series is a line of high-performance lenses featuring high design specifications.

USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive)
Tamron’s USD works with high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations which are produced by a ring called a ‘stator’. Energy from the vibrations is used to rotate an attached metallic ring known as a ‘rotor’. Piezoelectric ceramic, an element that produces ultrasonic vibrations when voltage of a specific frequency is applied, is arranged in a ring formation on the stator. This electrode configuration of piezoelectric ceramic causes 2 ultrasonic vibrations to occur in the stator. By effectively combining these 2 ultrasonic vibrations, it is possible to convert the energy from the vibrations that produced simple motion into energy known as ‘deflective travelling waves’, which then moves around the circumference (rotation direction) of the ring. With the USD, the friction between these deflective travelling waves, created on the metallic surface of the stator and the surface of the rotor, produce force which causes the rotor to rotate. The focusing ring of the lens, which is linked to the rotor, is thus moved, creating a fast and smooth auto-focus drive.
