## Overview

The Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VXD is a compact, lightweight telephoto zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Featuring an innovative VXD linear motor for ultra-fast and precise autofocus, it offers a constant f/2.8 aperture, weather-sealed durability, and a close minimum focus distance of 0.85m. Its 67mm filter diameter matches other Tamron lenses for seamless accessory use, making it a versatile, high-performance lens ideal for professionals seeking portability without sacrificing image quality.

## Description

Tamron designed this compact and light-weight lens to be the ideal combination with a full-frame mirrorless camera. To achieve this diminutive size while maintaining the high performance of the F/2.8 aperture, Tamron selected the focal length of 180mm at the telephoto end and employed an innovative zoom mechanism. Also, the image stabilization features of the host camera body are utilized for shake-free shooting. The result is a compact telephoto zoom lens that is comfortable and easy to shoot handheld. Additionally, the filter diameter is the same 67mm as Tamron’s the other lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras in the series. This feature makes filter-related tasks simple and removes the hassle of looking for front caps with differing diameters when changing lenses. The impressive portability of this lens expands its usefulness to many different fields of photography.Tamron developed its first-ever linear motor AF drive focus mechanism, VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), especially for the 70-180mm F/2.8. While operating faster than ever before, the drive also maintains positional accuracy down to 0.005mm (0.0002 in), less than one-tenth the width of a human hair! This provides unprecedented fast and precise AF performance. A floating system that uses two high-speed, high-precision VXD units with advanced electronic control is also used. This innovative design produces clear and beautiful images of all objects from near to far and at the same time helps reduce size and weight. Focus tracking has been vastly improved to facilitate sports and racing photography, two common subjects for telephoto zooms. This ensures that those dramatic, action-packed moments are never missed, whether shooting still photos or video. Additionally, this zoom offers superior quietness, making it ideal for shooting in low-noise environments as the linear motor is structured to reduce the vibrations produced during drive operation (as compared to a conventional drive system).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by P***L on 4 July 2024*

Kurz und knapp: Das Objektiv ist definitv sein Geld wert. Es kommt unscheinbar aber sicher verpackt an und macht einen sehr unscheinbaren Eindruck. In diversen Tests wurde der kleine Formfaktor gelobt. Vorneweg, für ein Zoomobjektiv mit diesen Spezifikationen ist es klein und leicht, aber dennoch ist es ein ziemlicher Prügel, der auf Dauer ganz schön in die Arme geht. Mitgeliefert wird eine kleine Anleitung, Garantiekarte, Objektivabdeckungen und Sonnenblende. Verarbeitung: Die Verarbeitung ist nahezu perfekt. Das Material wirkt durchweg hochwertig, auch wenn es weitesgehend aus Plastik besteht. Das Objektiv liegt gut in der Hand und fühlt sich sehr angenehm an. Nichts wackelt oder klappert. Fotoqualität: Ich bin absolut überzeugt. So sehr, dass ich mich in Unkosten stürzen möchte, um das 28-70 dazu zu bestellen, um in allen Reichweiten das gleiche Bild zu bekommen. Es ist gestochen scharft, fokussiert mit der Alpha 7C superschnell und das Bokeh ist ein Traum. Chromatische Aberationen konnte ich nicht feststellen, bin aber auch nur im Hobbybereich tätig. Cooler Zusatz: Mit einer Anmeldung des Objektivs auf der Tamron-Homepage kann die Garantie auf 5 Jahre verlängert werden, was ich nur empfehlen kann. Fazit: Das Objektiv in meiner Sammlung, welches in Sachen Preis-Leistung der absolute Gewinner ist. Die Einsatzmöglichkeiten sind mit diesem Objektiv so vielseitig, wie mit keinem anderen. Ich empfehle in jedem Falle, das 28-70mm dazu zu kaufen, um für nahezu jede Situation das passende Objektiv zu haben. Kommt in folgenden Bereichen zum Einsatz: Sportfotografie (schneller und sicherer Fokus, weiter Zoom), Portrait (traumhaftes Bokeh, sehr gute Detailschärfe), Live-Auftritt bei schwachem künstlichem Licht (Blende f2.8 und weiter Zoom)
