Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III Overview

The dynamic Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VXD for FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras is a compact and versatile super-telephoto zoom lens well suited to capture a wide array of subjects ranging from landscapes and birds to sports and wildlife photography. When used on APS-C cameras it will provide an equivalent focal length range of 225-750mm.

The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups and utilizes special lens elements and hybrid aspherical lens elements to control chromatic aberrations. Each element features a BBAR-G2 coating to reduce flare and ghosting for high contrast and color accuracy. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism delivers extreme high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures exceptionally responsive performance and is compatible with Sony Hybrid AF and Eye AF features in enabled cameras. The minimum object distance of 23.6" at 150mm end of the zoom range provides dynamic close-up imaging and add to the lens' remarkable overall usability.

The VC image stabilization facilitates shooting handheld at the 500mm ultra-telephoto position, and the Arca-type-compatible rotating tripod mount has integrated strap attachment loops for safety and support when shooting in the field. Designed and built with moisture-resistant construction for use in inclement conditions, plus a fluorine coating on the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt, and smudging.

Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III Reviews

Amazing pictures!

Loving this lens. It has incredible focus and quality. The piece is solid and tight. The only negative is that it did not come with a lens cover or filters. Not a reason to ignore this wonderful lens, just a slight ding into what could be a perfect lens for the Fuji X mount mirrorless camera.

Tamron 150-500mm Crisp, Sharp, and fast

By ANTHONY

This review is an update revision to my first review. I reported than the focus was slow, but after watching Autofocus settings for FUJIFILM on Pal2tech it seems that my settings must have inadvertently changed without my knowledge. When I checked all of my settings back to the way I had them with my XF100 400mm I am getting fast focus, and sharp, crisp beautiful pictures that rival the XF100 400mm. Dare I say that the 150-500mm Tamron is sharper all around. I now need a 50 to 140 f2.8. Or something to fill in for the gap between the 16 80mm and the 150-500mm on my XH2.Buy this lens. Thanks B&H for all of your assistance.

I first saw this lens at the B&H OPTIC show in Monterey, CA last fall. I also looked at the Fuji 150-600. I then rented both lenses. I really liked the internal zoom of the Fuji, but the lens was just too long to carry easily. You give up 100 mm on the long end with the Tamron, but you gain 1 F stop. Both lenses were equally sharp. The Tamron, while heavier, was easier to carry due to its shorter length. Perhaps most importantly, including the $100 included B&W filter, the Tamron was $800 less. Currently I use the lens primarily for grandkids baseball. I'm shooting shutter priority at 1/1000 sec with excellent results. I'm going to Alaska this summer, so hope to get eagle and bear shots. Just a great lens at an unbeatable price. Also you cannot beat B&H for their excellent service. Payboo card saved me over $100.

Best Super Telephoto for Fuji

Awesome reach and fast autofocus. The price to quality ratio is amazing. Currently on the Fuji for the price you wont be able to get a better Super telephoto lens. Fast continuous autofocus and sharp at both ends of the range.

How does this compare to the Fujifilm 100-400mm?
Asked by: Dakota
The front of the Fujifilm lens does NOT extend when focusing. It does extend when zooming, just like the Tamron lens. Tamron states the minimum focus distance only at the wide end of the zoom range, which usually means it does not focus very close at the telephoto end where it matters most.
