Product Details / Description:

Renting the Tamron 50-400mm in Japan allows you to carry a single lens that covers everything from walk-around standard views to extreme telephoto reach. This unique wide-end starting point (50mm) eliminates the need to constantly switch to a separate standard lens, streamlining your photography experience.

About the Product

The optical design features 24 elements in 18 groups, carefully arranged to ensure high image quality throughout the wide zoom range. The integration of the VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism is crucial for sharp handheld images, especially at the long 400mm end.

The VXD linear motor is known for its quiet, fast, and highly responsive performance, making it ideal for tracking unpredictable subjects like wildlife or performers, as well as for video shooting where silence is key. The lens also features a zoom lock switch to prevent the lens barrel from extending unintentionally during transport.

Key Features

• Wide-Ranging Versatility: The 50mm starting point is unique for a lens reaching 400mm, offering true multi-purpose functionality.
• Macro Capability: The ability to focus as close as 0.25m at 50mm achieves a half life-size magnification (1:2), making it highly versatile for close-up shots.
• Effective Stabilization: Built-in VC ensures sharp handheld results, particularly when zoomed in.
• Professional AF: The VXD motor provides the speed and accuracy required for modern mirrorless bodies.
• Compact for its Reach: At 1,180g and 185.8mm long, it is remarkably manageable for an 8x super-telephoto zoom.

Faqs:

Is this lens compatible with all Nikon Z camera bodies?

This lens is designed for Nikon Z-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras (FX format, e.g., Z 6, Z 7, Z 8, Z 9). While it will physically mount on DX bodies (like the Z 50 or Z fc), it is optimized for full-frame sensors. Please refer to the official Tamron Camera Compatibility page for the most up-to-date information.

What does the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) mechanism do?

The VXD is Tamron’s advanced linear motor focus mechanism. It enables extremely fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance, which is essential for capturing action at long telephoto distances and crucial for high-quality video recording without motor noise.

How effective is the VC (Vibration Compensation) system?

The built-in VC system compensates for camera shake, which is highly noticeable at long focal lengths like 400mm. While the exact CIPA rating is not specified, it is designed to significantly improve sharpness when shooting handheld, especially in lower light or at slower shutter speeds.

What is the maximum magnification of 1:2?

A maximum magnification of 1:2 (or half life-size) means that the image projected onto the sensor is half the actual size of the subject. This is an exceptional close-up performance for a super-telephoto zoom lens and allows you to capture detailed macro-style images at the wide (50mm) end.

Why does the maximum aperture change from F4.5 to F6.3?

This is a variable aperture zoom lens. At the widest focal length (50mm), the maximum aperture is a fast F4.5. As you zoom in toward the telephoto end (400mm), the maximum aperture gradually decreases, reaching F6.3. This design is key to keeping the lens physically compact and relatively light compared to a constant-aperture lens like an F4 or F5.6 400mm prime.
