2. Tamron AF 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2, Sony E
EISA Award for "Best Product" Winner 2024-2025 - The 70-180mm f/2.8 G2 is an evolution of the first generation of the highly acclaimed 70-180mm zoom lens, which has garnered much attention since its launch and has now been improved in several ways.

4. Tamron AF 35-150 mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD, Sony E
The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 is an F/2 zoom lens for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. With a variable focal length from 35mm wide-angle to 150mm telephoto, it covers the most commonly used zoom range and offers a wide range of possibilities for composing images from the location. The lens is ideal for stunning panoramic and architectural shots at 35mm as well as dynamic close-ups at 150mm. The zoom lens is ideal for travel and holidays, and its high imaging performance makes it particularly suitable for ambitious travel photography. The high speed enables stunning images of sunrises and sunsets as well as atmospheric shots of interiors and night scenes. The VXD autofocus with linear motor ensures exceptionally fast and precise focusing in any situation. The advanced ergonomic design of the body is designed for optimal lens handling.
The telephoto lens has a significantly longer focal length than a normal lens. This reduces the angle of view and makes photographed objects appear closer and larger than they actually are from the point of view where you are with your camera. This type of lens is therefore particularly suitable if you want to take format-filling photographs of distant objects. In addition, subjects photographed with a telephoto lens can be cropped very well due to the shallow depth of field - highlight the desired subject of your image by letting the background disappear in the blur.
Pro
- 1A image quality
- large focal length range covered
- Top light intensity throughout
Contra

The 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD (Model A067) is the first model in a class of ultra-telephoto zoom lenses designed for mirrorless camera systems with full-frame sensors. Its 8x zoom covers an exceptionally versatile focal length range: from the 50mm standard lens with a relatively wide angle of view and normal depth effect to the 400mm ultra-telephoto, whose narrow field of view allows for a significantly enlarged image. Despite the extensive focal length range, this ultra-telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-Mount full-frame cameras is compactly built, similar to a conventional 100-400mm zoom lens. The 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 is remarkably compact with a length of just 183.4mm and a lightweight of 1,155g, yet it delivers an unparalleled high performance across all focal lengths.
The optical design of the 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 includes several special glasses that ensure high imaging performance throughout the entire zoom range. The lens features Tamron's VXD autofocus technology (Voice-coil Extreme-torque Drive), which is based on a particularly quiet and fast-acting linear motor. The VC image stabilizer (Vibration Compensation), also a proprietary development by Tamron, helps achieve sharp images in low-light shooting situations. The short minimum focusing distance of the 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 allows for macro photography at a scale of 1:2 (0.5x magnification). At a focal length of 50mm, the shortest focusing distance is just 25cm.

Special optical glasses ensure an optimally corrected, sharp, and detailed image. The short minimum focusing distance – just 15 cm at the shortest focal length and 24 cm at the longest focal length – allows for spectacular close-ups that you wouldn't have thought possible.
