Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Nikon Z Summary
Combing a super telephoto zoom range with a lightweight and optically stabilised design, the Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Nikon Z mount is a versatile choice for a variety of telephoto subjects. This model for FX (full-frame) Nikon mirrorless cameras weighs 1,720g without the removable 155g tripod mount, and offers a host of features to help you capture excellent image quality.
When extended to the maximum 500mm zoom range the lens measures 287.3mm long, ensuring you can capture sports, action, wildlife and similar subjects without the cumbersome qualities typically associated with other super telephoto lenses.
Tamron’s VXD linear motor autofocus mechanism provides fast, accurate and quiet AF from near to far, even when you’re shooting zoomed in at 500mm, which is ideal for both stills photos and video in low-noise environments. The VC mechanism (vibration control) provides optical stabilisation to effectively minimise the effects of camera shake while handholding, allowing you to shoot at slower speeds, and in low light environments.
Along with the broad zoom range the Tamron 150-500mm offers excellent close-up capabilities, with a minimum object distance of just 60cm (wide) and 1.8m (tele), which adds the ability to capture telephoto-macro images.

Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Nikon Z in More Detail
Compact and portable design
The Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Lens for Nikon Z cameras is impressively compact. Measuring just 212.3mm in length and with a maximum diameter of 93mm, it stands out as a remarkably small zoom for full-frame mirrorless cameras in the super telephoto category. Even when zoomed in to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens maintains compact dimensions, extending to approximately 287.3mm.
High image quality across the entire frame
This particular Tamron lens features advanced optical engineering, with a formula comprising of 25 elements arranged in 16 groups. Leveraging the advantages of special lens elements, such as one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), five LD (Low Dispersion), and two Hybrid Aspherical lens elements, it achieves comprehensive aberration control, including the minimisation of axial chromatic aberrations.
The design ensures users experience extraordinary resolving power, with consistently high image quality from corner to corner, keeping up with Nikon’s high resolution image sensors found even in flagship models such as the Z9 and Z8 camera.
Speed, precision, and quiet VXD AF Motor
This 150-500mm f/5-6.7 lens incorporates Tamron’s cutting-edge VXD linear motor autofocus system, which delivers an impressive combination of speed and precision, for swift and accurate focusing across various distances, even at the extreme 500mm end. Its exceptional focus tracking capabilities also enable you to capture fast-moving subjects with ease.
What's more, the VXD linear motor operates remarkably quietly, minimising drive noise and vibrations, which are typically associated with conventional drive systems. With near silent operation the lens is ideal for shooting in low-noise environments, whether you're capturing still photos or recording video.
VC provides outstanding Image Stabilisation
Tamron’s renowned VC (Vibration Compensation) system excels at minimising image blur caused by camera shake. Despite its compact size, the 150-500mm f/5-6.7 lens benefits from stabilisation, making it possible to capture clear and sharp shots even when shooting handheld in challenging lighting conditions.
Whether you're taking photos in the evening or indoors, you can rely on outstanding image stabilisation, eliminating the need for a tripod and offering you greater flexibility in your ability to race to fast-paced subjects.
Telephoto-macro capability for close-ups
Unlocking new possibilities for close-range shooting, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 lens offers impressive tele-macro capabilities for an ultra-telephoto lens. At the 150mm end, the minimum focusing distance (MOD) is just 0.6 meters, while at the 500mm telephoto end, it extends to 1.8 metres.
It also achieves a high maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at 150mm, allowing users to capture striking tele-macro images, while maintaining a comfortable shooting distance.
