The 150-500mm F5-6.7 lens reaches 500mm on the telephoto end (750mm on crop-sensor cameras), yet it provides a remarkably compact size and extremely high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. It lets users enjoy spontaneous shooting in the ultra-tele realm where conventional wisdom once dictated a tripod. The ultra-telephoto zoom is equipped with Tamron's VXD precise and high-speed linear motor autofocus mechanism and Tamron's proprietary VC image stabilization mechanism. At the 150mm end, this versatile lens offers an MOD of 23.6" for powerful and dramatic close-ups.
