Small in size but long on features

Light weight and fast handling make telephoto shooting fun

The highest levels of autofocus speed and precision in Tamron’s long history

The AF drive is equipped with VXD (Voice-coil eXtremetorque Drive), Tamron’s first-ever linear motor focus mechanism for stunningly fast and accurate auto-focusing. Two VXD units are arranged in a floating system and operated simultaneously via electronic control to achieve excellent optical performance at all shooting distances near and far. Focus tracking has also been vastly improved during sports and racing photography, which are common subjects for telephoto zooms. This ensures that those powerful moments are never missed, whether shooting still photos or video. With the excellent quietness that is characteristic of linear motor systems, the AF is ideal for shooting in low-noise environments.

(33.5 in)

The 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A056) large aperture telephoto zoom lens is for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. The greatest feature is its superb performance even while attaining a fast F/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range and offering the world's lightest and most compact

package at just 149mm (5.9 in) length (at the 70mm setting) and a weight of 810g (28.6 oz). Thanks to the generous use of special lens elements, the 70-180mm F/2.8 achieves excellent optical performance from center to edge. With the short MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.85m (33.5 in), the 70-180mm F/2.8 expands the possibilities for photographic expression. For the AF drive, Tamron has newly developed the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a linear motor focus mechanism. A unique capability of the 70180mm F/2.8 is shooting in the close-up range down to 0.27m

(10.6 in) at the 70mm wide-angle end, specifically when manual focus (MF) is set on the camera body. Add it all together and you can go light while going long—and get the shot!

Focal Length: 180mm Exposure: F/2.8 1/320sec ISO: 320

The 70-180mm F/2.8 offers MOD of just 0.85m (33.5 in) across the entire zoom range, a surprising accomplishment for a large-aperture telephoto zoom lens. At this short distance (at the 180mm setting) the magnification ratio is 1:4.6, permitting powerful close-ups.
