Compact Wide-to-Portrait Zoom. Covering a wide-view to normal-view range, the Tamron 17-50mm f/4 Di III VXD for Sony E is a versatile lens that allows you to cover landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, interiors, and street candids.

Enhanced Form Factor and Operation. Tamron made some key structural tweaks to this lens for a user-friendly experience. The arc rotation of the zoom ring has been shortened so that you can reach your desired focal length quickly. The rubber on the ring has also been improved for better grip with deeper grooves. A curvier, more contoured profile makes the entire lens more ergonomic and comfortable to hold and the focus setting buttons on the barrel are surrounded by a bevel that naturally guides your finger to position. All of this, along with its overall compactness, allows this lens to be used all day without fatigue.

Outstanding Performance in Various Conditions. The Tamron 17-50mm f/4 Di III VXD for Sony E is equipped with a Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive (VXD) linear motor focus mechanism for advanced autofocusing with excellent tracking performance in low light. This lens can reliably track subjects whose movements are difficult to predict, such as children and pets, making it great for not only street photography but also for recording events. The autofocus is very quiet and suitable for use in noise-sensitive settings like a school play or a wedding. Leak-resistant seals are featured throughout the lens barrel along with high-precision components to withstand rigorous use.

Try it with These E-Mount Cameras. The portable nature of this lens makes it a great option for shooters on the go and pairs well with slightly more compact cameras like the Sony a7C II, the Sony a7CR, or the Sony ZV-E1.
