Ultimate Fast-Aperture Standard Zoom for APS-C Mirrorless
The Tamron 16-50mm f/2.8 Di III-A VXD is the essential "Go-To Zoom" engineered for APS-C mirrorless cameras. Spanning a versatile 16-50mm focal range (full-frame equivalent of 24-75mm on Sony, Nikon, and Fujifilm, and 25.6-80mm on Canon RF), this lens seamlessly handles expansive landscapes, tight group shots, casual daily snapshots, and travel videography.
Designed with outstanding portability in mind, it measures just 3.13" (79.6mm) in length, weighs a mere 10.8 oz (305g), and features a compact 55mm filter size. Available across four camera mounts: Sony E-mount, Canon RF mount, Nikon Z mount, and FUJIFILM X-mount.
Key Features:
Constant f/2.8 Aperture: Offers soft, expressive bokeh and reliable low-light performance across the entire focal range.
High-Speed VXD Autofocus: Powered by Tamron's Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive linear motor for near-silent, fast, and precise AF tracking.
Wide-Angle Close-Up Shooting: Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of just 6.0" (0.15m) at the wide end for wide-macro perspectives.
All-Weather Protection: Constructed with moisture resistance and a fluorine-coated front element to defend against the elements.
Refined Design: Features the modern "Toned Profile Next" aesthetic and a strap-hole front cap for increased workflow convenience.
