The Tamron 18–300 mm f/3.5–6.3 Di III-A VC VXD is the ultimate all-in-one zoom lens for Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras, combining wide versatility, outstanding sharpness, and impressive portability. Whether you’re travelling, shooting family events, or exploring creative photography, this lens delivers professional-level results without needing to switch glass.
Covering an 18–300 mm focal range (equivalent to 27–450 mm on full-frame), it offers true superzoom flexibility. Go from sweeping landscapes and architectural shots to distant wildlife or sports photography — all with one lens.
Inside, Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor system provides fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus performance — ideal for both stills and video. The lens can focus as close as 0.15 m (5.9") at 18 mm, achieving a 0.26× maximum magnification ratio, perfect for semi-macro detail shots.
To keep your images steady, Tamron’s built-in VC (Vibration Compensation) stabilisation system reduces camera shake, ensuring sharp handheld results even at long telephoto settings or slower shutter speeds.
Optical construction features 19 elements in 15 groups, including aspherical and low-dispersion (LD) glass to suppress chromatic aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range. Colour rendition and contrast remain excellent, while Tamron’s BBAR-G2 coating reduces flare and ghosting in backlit scenes.
The compact design — just 620 g — makes it one of the lightest and most travel-friendly lenses in its class. It uses Tamron’s standard 67 mm filter size, meaning it shares accessories with other popular Tamron lenses for Sony E-mount.
The exterior design features Moisture-Resistant Construction and a Fluorine-Coated front element, giving you extra protection when shooting outdoors. The lens also supports Fast Hybrid AF and Eye AF on compatible Sony cameras, ensuring smooth, accurate subject tracking.
This kit includes a bonus Tamron shoulder bag and SD card, making it ready to hit the road — ideal for travellers, hobbyists, or hybrid shooters who want maximum creative flexibility in a single, reliable setup.
