Description

The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (Model A047) for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras is a telephoto zoom lens designed and created so photographers of all skill levels can enjoy high quality images comfortably. It achieves the world's smallest size and lightest weight, coming in at 5.8 in. long with a maximum diameter of 77mm, and weighing just 19.2 oz. With special emphasis on resolving power, Tamron has deployed special lens elements appropriately arranged to correct chromatic aberration, generally very strong in a telephoto lens, as well as other aberrations. Users can enjoy high- resolution images combined with the stunning bokeh qualities that are achievable only with a telephoto lens. The lens also incorporates the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) unit, a high-speed precision AF drive system that is remarkably quiet. The 70-300mm is a versatile lens for photographing landscapes, sports and other action, pets and wildlife and more. The lens also demonstrates its potential for portrait shooting, casual snapshots and scenarios that require you to be mobile and shoot handheld, like sporting events. Designed for full-frame, the lens is at home on APS-C mirrorless cameras and provides a 105-450mm equivalent field-of-view.

This lens is my first 300mm for my Sony Camera gear. It's starting to become my go-to lens, serving me well in wildlife photography and enabling some stunning panoramic shots. The best part? It offers impressive sharpness, lightweight design, great autofocus, full-frame compatibility, and all this at an affordable price. However, it's fair to mention the drawbacks such as no image stabilization and no handy lock switch to prevent lens creep. But these challenges can be managed with a tripod, holding the camera steady, or if your camera supports in-body stabilization. So, should you consider this lens? I think so but that does depend on your needs. The Images I've selected have become my favorites as of now. All the image you see was taken on my Sony zv-e10, which happens to be a cropped sensor camera. ----UPDATE Feb 28, 2024---- Since my original review, I have purchased a Sony A7iii full-frame camera with in-camera stabilization. Using the Tamron lens with a camera that uses stabilization does make a world of difference. The lens barely shakes even at 300mm unlike when it's on my Sony zv-e10. Now I have noticed that since I'm using the lens in a full-frame sensor I see more of a lens curve in my images. But if you use Adobe Lightroom it can easily correct it. Still highly recommend this lens. ——Update July 7th, 2024—— Since my last update in February, I can confidently say that this Tamron lens has become my daily driver when using my full-frame camera. Its versatility continues to amaze me, handling everything from fast-moving wildlife to delicate flower photography with ease. For the price, and considering it’s a full-frame lens, it has transformed my photography in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I’ve added some new photos to my review to showcase its capabilities. As mentioned before, you’ll need to use your editing software to enable lens corrections, but this really depends on the image you’re taking. After using this lens for 7 months, I can attest that it’s been a worthwhile investment. ... show more

    • One of my FAVS!
This is one of my go to lens for wild life and outdoor daylight sports! I pair this with my Sony A7C and I love it! The 70-300 is great to get that extra reach with a reasonable price! Sharp images, feels great, solid pictures 10/10 !

    • Lens creep
This is a decent lens and very light but the lens cap is a pain to get back on and the lens is constantly telescoping out which is super annoying. Picture quality is passable, not too bad for the price.

    • Can the Tamron 70-300 RXD compete with Sony 100-400 at 20% the cost?
Review Image by Johnny Johnny
It’s hard to fault the excellent Sony 100-400 but I’m at times reluctant to take a 3 lb. lens on the road or hike long back country treks with it. I’ve been seeking a lighter long tele zoom option and think I may have found a surprise winner, the Tamron 70-300 f4.5-6.3. At first I did not consider it because conventional wisdom tells us to NEVER consider any long glass without Image Stabilization (IS). I’m a longtime pro and am used to shooting major sporting events with the best long glass including 300 f2.8, 400 f2.8, 500f 4, etc. Thus, I’m picky for only the sharpest telephotos yet switched to Sony to lighten the load. (See photo of its tiny size compared with Sony and Sigma lenses.) Let’s talk about this surprising Tamron’s pros and cons: The Tamron 70-180 is the first non-Nikon, Canon or Sony lens I’ve ever used in a 30 year career and have been blown away by it. The missing IS has been little concern since it’s easy to handle and is a constant f2.8, allowing higher shutter speeds in low light. It’s easy for a pro to at first dismiss the new under $500 Tamron 70-300 but it is indeed truly sharp unless you pixel peep the corners. For long glass, corner sharpness is of less concern for many of us although that would be a deal killer in a wide angle lens. Before taking a flyer on this Tamron, I first auditioned the Sony 70-350, fully intending to be happy with the compromise of having to use it in APS-C mode, yielding files of 26.2MP on my A7R4 that normally outputs 61MP. The copy I received wasn’t as sharp as I’d hoped. Of course, it is truly hard to compete with the rockin’ yet $2,500 Sony 100-400. I’d heard good things about the 70-350 with its quick linear motor, etc., that I probably expected too much and was a bit underwhelmed upon first testing it. Since I love my Tamron 70-180 I thought I’d give this full frame Tamron a dark-horse try at joining my stable of a dozen lenses, mostly Sony’s except for the 70-180, the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and the also stellar Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro. Bottom line: This 70-300 Tamron is darned impressive and uber sharp! I’m going to learn to work around its one key disadvantage of no Image Stabilization. Why own both the 100-400 and this Tamron? Simply said: Weight. The Sony is a well-balanced and manageable three pounds. Yet, the Tamron is a light lil’ baby at a mere 19 ounces and 20% the cost! If I choose APS-C mode this lens gives me 105-450mm reach, and is still sharp. At the long end, the Sony allows max f5.6 while this Tamron shoots 1/3 stop slower at 6.3. It focuses fast yet is no f-stop speed demon and even with the A7R4 in-body IS stabilization, in early use I am getting more perfect keepers at 1/500 than I do at 1/320 or 1/250. If light becomes an issue, my Tamron 70-180 shoots as long as 270mm at f2.8 in APS-C. I’m happily keeping the hard-to-fault Sony 100-400 but this Tamron 70-300 delivers truly impressive pro-worthy images, too, if you don’t mind upping ISO slightly when lighting conditions get a bit more challenging. ... show more

    • Great lens for distant objects
Definitely use the 300mm on this lens and with the added zoom feature on the Sony aR7 IV it makes photos from a good distance look fine

I am currently shooting with a Sony A7iii. I get to watch The Blue Angels here all the time, so I wanted a decent tele lens. I went with the Tamron 70/300, after watching/reading several reviews, and the price was well within my budget. I have only just recently began my journey down this rabbit hole of photography, so I can not really get into the specs of the lens. What I can say is so far I have been pleased by the photos I have been able to take. Four come straight from the camera, while the three have been touched up. The unedited photos go form 70mm-300mm-199mm-289mm-300mm. The zoom wheel turns smoothly enough that I can make my adjustments easily and my A7iii has no problem keeping a clear focus (using AF-C). There is no "zoom lock", but I move the zoom in an out often enough I don't see the need for it anyway. Bought this on 5/1/24, if anything changes, I will revisit this and let you know. ... show more
