17-50mm wide-angle zoom lens, the world's first lens covers from ultra wide-angle through to the standard rangeThe 17-50mm F/4 Di III VXD (Model A068) offers a versatile zoom range from ultra-wide to standard focal lengths, eliminating the need to switch lenses. This TAMRON 17-50mm Sony E-mount lens captures everything from dynamic landscape and cityscape compositions to casual snaps and portraits, showcasing the rich variation possible with a single compact lens. At the 50mm end, the angle of coverage closely matches normal human vision. Additionally, this zoom lens maintains an F4 aperture throughout the zoom range, making it ideal for both still photography and video shooting.

The 17-50mm F4 significantly expands your creative possibilities, opening the door to new and exciting photographic experiences. Advanced optical performance with rich bokeh at F4The optical construction of the 17-50mm F4 wide-angle zoom lens consists of 15 elements in 13 groups. With the precise arrangement of special lens elements, including three LD (Low Dispersion), one GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) and two hybrid aspherical lens elements, chromatic and other aberrations are effectively suppressed. The resolving power across the entire frame with clarity and sharpness, and full use of the rich bokeh delivered by the F4 wide-open aperture get you close to that perfect shot.

Compact, lightweight body and internal zoom mechanism for comfortable shooting and excellent balanceThe TAMRON 17-50mm Sony E-mount weighs just 16.2 oz (460g) and is a compact 4.5" ( 114.4 mm) long, a size that's well-balanced even when attached to a Sony mirrorless camera body. The lens has a fixed barrel length and internal zoom mechanism that minimizes changes to the center of gravity while shooting. It's easy to maintain framing while shooting still images and video, and it can be easily balanced when paired with a video rig or gimbal. The highly portable lens features Moisture-Resistant Construction and employs a Fluorine Coating on the front and back lens surfaces, providing durability in natural environments such as trekking, camping, and other outdoor activities, and making it more convenient to clean the lens when necessary.

High-speed, high-precision AF is extremely quiet and ideal for shooting video and still imagesThe TAMRON 17-50mm Sony E-mount lens's AF drive uses the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. The AF drive features high-speed operations and achieves positional accuracy in miniscule 0.005 mm increments. Equipped with high-speed and high-precision autofocus among the best in its class, the 17-50mm F4 ensures you won't miss a shot when out and about or traveling. With fast and accurate focusing on moving objects, the lens can reliably track subjects whose movements are difficult to predict such as small children and pets, making it great for shooting video.

Additionally, thanks to quiet operation during AF, the lens can be used with peace of mind when shooting still images or video in noise-sensitive settings like school plays and weddings. Excellent Minimum Object Distance captures tiny subjects in vivid detailThe 17-50mm F4 wide-angle zoom lens achieves an astounding MOD of 7.5" ( 0.19 m) and maximum magnification ratio of 1:4. 6 at the wide end, and 11.8" ( 0.3 m) and maximum magnification ratio of 1:3. 8 at the 50mm end. With a working distance of around 2.3" ( 5.7 cm) at the 17mm end, you can practically get as close to the subject as you wish.

This allows you the flexibility to shoot in cramped places such as small rooms or inside a camping tent, without needing to reposition. It also lets you enjoy compositions that make use of beautiful bokeh and unique angles.
