Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Fujifilm X Bundle with 82mm Filter Kit, 82mm VND Filter, Lens Wrap, Lens Cleaner, Cleaning Kit, Universal Lens Cap Tether

With the Tamron 150-500mm f/5- 6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Fujifilm X-mount, photographers and videographers can delve into the expansive world of ultra-telephoto zoom with unparalleled ease. This high-quality, durable lens is a marvel of innovation, offering a versatile zoom range of 150-500mm, which translates to a 225-750mm full-frame equivalent, providing users with the ability to capture distant subjects in stunning clarity. Crafted with a focus on advanced image stabilization, the lens incorporates Tamron's esteemed Vibration Compensation (VC) system, ensuring sharp, clear images even when shooting handheld in challenging lighting conditions.

The lens's high-speed, high-precision VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) autofocus motor delivers rapid and accurate focusing, capturing fleeting moments with ease and precision. Optically, the lens is designed to maintain uncompromising image quality across the entire zoom range. It features an arrangement of 25 elements in 16 groups, including XLD and LD elements, alongside hybrid aspherical lenses to effectively minimize chromatic aberrations and produce high-resolution images. The application of BBAR-G2 Coating further enhances image quality by reducing ghosting and flare, particularly in backlit situations, allowing for crisp, high-contrast images with fine detail.

The lens's physical design is equally impressive, boasting a compact form factor that defies the norms of traditional ultra-telephoto lenses. At just 209.6 mm ( 8.3" ) in length and with a maximum diameter of 93mm, it remains astonishingly portable. The zoom ring requires a mere 75-degree rotation for quick focal length adjustments, facilitating rapid composition changes. For macro enthusiasts, the lens offers a short Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 0.6 m ( 23.6 in) at the 150mm end, enabling close-up shots with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3. 1.

This feature opens up a world of possibilities for tele-macro photography, from capturing intricate details of plants and insects to creative tabletop photography. Ease of use is further enhanced by the inclusion of an MF SPEED switch on the Fujifilm X-mount version, allowing users to select between two manual focus speeds for precise control, especially when zoomed in to the ultra-telephoto range. The lens also features a FLEX ZOOM LOCK mechanism to prevent unwanted zoom creep, and redesigned slide switches for improved ergonomics and accidental operation prevention. Built for the rigors of outdoor shooting, the lens comes with a moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating on the front element, offering protection against the elements and making it easier to clean.

The included Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount with strap attachment holes ensures balanced support, while the 7-blade circular diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh effect in out-of-focus areas. This bundle enhances the lens's capabilities with an 82mm filter kit, an 82mm variable neutral density (VND) filter for precise control over exposure settings, a protective lens wrap, a lens cleaner, a comprehensive cleaning kit, and a universal lens cap tether to secure your lens cap. In summary, the Tamron 150-500mm f/5- 6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Fujifilm X-mount, bundled with essential accessories, is an exceptional choice for photographers and videographers seeking a high-quality, innovative, and versatile ultra-telephoto zoom lens that excels in capturing distant subjects with precision and clarity.
