Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

  • You can use this lens to photograph portraits, athletes, and wild animals from a distance.

  • The lens is splash proof, so it's ideal for use in bad weather conditions.
  • The lens doesn't have image stabilization to prevent motion blur.

Description

With the Tamron 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Sony FE telephoto lens, you can photograph both portraits and objects, like athletes and wild animals in the distance. The lens is suitable for Sony mirrorless cameras. It consists of 15 elements divided into 10 groups. The special lens elements prevent chromatic aberrations and distortions. The 7-circle shaped aperture blades ensure a soft background blur. This way, the object stands out from the background. Thanks to the silent and fast autofocus, you can capture moving objects, like athletes and wild animals, accurately. With the relatively short focal distance of 80cm, you can also photograph objects like flowers and insects from up close. The lens has a splash proof design, so you can easily take it out in bad weather conditions.

Unbeatable for this price.

  • Very fast autofocus
  • beautiful bokeh
  • very sharp
  • No ring to set aperture on the lens.

An unbeatable lens for this price. In most situations, this lens is just as good as its more expensive GM brother, but at a fraction of the price. I use this lens together with an a7iii body. The light weight of the lens ensures that this is a good combination to carry with you all day. Even late at night, because even in low light you can take beautiful photos with this lens.

Compact, sharp full-frame telephoto zoom

  • nice sharp telephoto zoom
  • low weight
  • compact
  • no stabilization in lens

Extensively tested during vacation. Turns out to be a very compact, light, sharp telephoto zoom for full-frame cameras. Supports manual focus from Sony A7 II, but automatic focus is also fast and accurate. Had read somewhere that stabilization in lens for telephoto zoom was better than in body, but haven't missed it yet. Miss the buttons a bit against zoom creep and for fast auto/manual switching on the lens. Price makes up for a lot. Very happy with it.
