Tamron A047SF – Telephoto Lens – 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD for Sony FE, Black

I’m impressed – very impressed
For a “cheap” lens (maybe I should say affordable) this gives some great results. The autofocus is decently fast – maybe not up to Sony G Master standards, but I can’t afford one of those in this range so it’s a moot point.The lens itself is compact for the focal range and it’s also not too heavy. Yes, it does feel a bit plasticy, but come on for this price I can put up with that.I’ve posted a few example images I took with it to show the kind of sharpness you might expect. The cricket shots were shot in APS-C mode on my Sony A7iV, so the resolution is lower than normal and ISO was fairly high, but the shots give a good example of the lens output.I’d love to buy one of the super high quality Sony versions, but they’re about what, 7 times the price? For this money the Tamron is a real bargain in my opinion.Bear in mind, when looking at the example cricket shots, that this is not the full resolution of the camera – I used APS-C mode to get an effective focal length range of 105-450mm. If I’d been closer to the action and using the full frame resolution the shots would have been even sharper.I think the lens is also great for portraiture, despite having a fairly small aperture. You can still get pleasing bokeh and shallowish depth of field. The photos of my dogs demonstrate that well, I think. If you look at the photo of my Maltese and check out the sharpness of his eyes and facial hair, coupled with the depth of field fall off, you can see how good this lens would be for portraiture.Hard to go wrong with this lens for the money and remember it’s actually a full frame FE fitting.I did a lot of research before buying this lens and it was a case of getting this – which I can afford – giving me maybe 90-95% of what I want from a lens like this, or saving up for a year and getting the expensive Sony. Honestly, no contest.

Sharp budget telephoto lens
This is the perfect replacement for the Sony equivalent which would retail for £1100+ so ideal for those on a budget – Sharp enough too at most ranges just relies on in body stabilisation where it’s more expensive counterpart would have its own stabilisation – Using it on a Sony a7c

Great Telephoto Lens and not too heavy. Affordable too.
I read a few negative reviews about this Tamron Zoom Lens/Sony e mount 70 to 300mm.Took some photos with it today in Hammersmith and I must say, I’m delighted with the image quality and the price I paid for it on Amazon.It’s a great Lens and I’m very pleased with the image results.Minimum Aperture is F4.5, but you’ll pay a hefty price for a Sony Lens that does F2.8.It’s not too heavy to lug around either on my Sony A7 mk3.I’m delighted with my Tamron Lens. Haven’t used it yet for Video but I’ll do that soon.I’m only an amatuer photographer but I’m delighted with the Tamron Lens and the sharpness of the photos even at 300mm full zoom.

Grey import – Avoid
Received a grey import (not imported through authorised channels) so 5 year warranty not valid with Tamron. Returned.

Buena pero sin estabilizar

Das Tamron 70-300mm A047SF F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD habe ich mir gekauft, um etwas mehr Tele für meine beiden Sony Alpha Kameras zu haben. Nach dem gründlichen Lesen diverser Tests und Beschreibungen habe ich mich für dieses Objektiv entschieden. Es ist bezahlbar, sehr leicht und kompakt und wird für seine gute Bildqualität gelobt. Dies kann ich mittlerweile bestätigen. Es ergibt an meinen Kameras eine sehr handliche Kombination. Die Bildqualität ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Ich habe viele Testfotos geschossen, und dabei überzeugte mich schon die Schärfe bei Offenblende. Chromatische Aberrationen sind kein großes Thema, die Vignettierung läßt sich problemlos in der Bildbearbeitung korrigieren (wenn sie denn stört).Ich habe zudem einen Vergleichstest zu meinem Tamron SP 70-300 mm/4-5,6 Di VC USD Canon gemacht. Dies ist die klassische Version eines 70-300mm Teleobjektives für Spiegelreflexkameras. Als Kamera habe ich die Canon EOS 6D Mark II verwendet, im Vergleich zu der Sony Alpha 7 II mit dem neuen 70-300er. Die Kameras sind von der Bildqualität und Auflösung vergleichbar. Das Ergebnis: Das Tamron 70-300mm A047SF F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD schlägt das “alte” 70-300mm klar und deutlich. Vor allem offenblendig (schauen Sie bitte den Fotovergleich an) liefert es bereits detailscharfe Bilder. Vor allem auch am Bildrand ist die neue Konstruktion für spiegellose Kameras viel besser. Dabei ist auch schon das klassische 70-300er ein gutes Objektiv, welches in Tests überzeugen konnte.Daher gebe ich eine klare Kaufempfehlung für das Objektiv!
