What’s more, thanks to its compact design, you can easily take it with you on vacation, backpacking, and hikes. The MOD (Minimum Object Distance) is 5.9” (0.15m) at its wide-angle end, and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:2, making it possible to capture impressive images that bring out the power and detail of the subject. In addition, it is equipped with the high-speed, high-precision linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) and TAMRON’s original VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization mechanism, supporting comfortable and stable shooting. This all-in-one zoom lens makes photography more fun because you can use it in an unlimited number of situations. It’s so versatile, it will inspire you to push your creativity further and further.

Tamron has released “TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile™” Ver.3.0, which appears to include “Delay Start,” “Focus Stopper,” “Astro Focus L
May 30, 2024, Commack, NY – TAMRON Americas, a leading provider of high-quality lenses, announces updates of the TAMRON Lens Utility, dedicated computer software, and the TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile, dedicated application for Android1 OS compatible smartphones and tablets. This update will provide additional functionality for greater convenience in the field and expands the possibilities of still and video photography. The software versions will change from the currently released Ver.2.0 to Ver.3.0, and the updated version will be available for download on May 30, 2024.
TAMRON Lens Utility and TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile Ver.3.0 overviews
October 2021 marked the release of TAMRON Lens Utility, a dedicated computer software that allows users to customize the functions of various TAMRON lenses according to their photographic and video shooting styles. In November 2022, we released TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile for Android OS, as we received many requests for the ability to customize lens functions in the field. In pursuit of even greater convenience, TAMRON has upgraded existing functions, added new functions for both the computer and mobile software, and added a new function exclusively for TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile.
We plan to further expand and enhance functions to make video production more friendly to our customers.
Additional features with the Ver.3.0 update:
● Delay Time Start (upgrade to an existing feature)
This feature delays activation of a focus shift after the Focus Set Button has been pressed to activate. This is used to avoid shaking or button noises to be recorded when the Focus Set Button is pressed, and action starts.
* In addition to the Focus Set Button on the lens, this can also be used with the Remote Set Button with the TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile.
● Focus Stopper (new feature)
This feature fixes the focus range when manual focus is operated during video shooting. This will prevent the user from passing over the focal point.
* The stopper will automatically be released when switching to AF mode.
* In addition to the Focus Set Button on the lens, this feature could also be controlled from the Remote Set Button featured in the TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile.
● Astro Focus Lock (Astro FC-L) (new feature)
This feature fixes the focus on stars, which is useful for astrophotography. The focus is shifted to infinity and operation of the focus ring will be disabled (locked). Locking the focus ring prevents the focus from slipping through inadvertent operation.
* In addition to the Focus Set Button on the lens, this can also be used with the Remote Set Button with the TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile.
● Digital Follow Focus (DFF) (new dedicated feature only for TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile)
This feature allows you to fix a focus range between two points and perform focus operations from your smartphone screen, just like follow focus techniques. The direction of rotation of the aperture and focus rings, units indicated, and EV steps can also be changed.
*Aperture ring control and EV step configuration is not supported on Nikon Z mount lenses.
Tamron, the lens maker from Japan, issued a major firmware update to improve the autofocus tracking performance of two of their most popular lenses. The first one is the 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD A058 and the other lens is the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD A071. This update enhances the lenses’ performance.
TAMRON lens firmware update improved AF tracking performance and AF Assist function
35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD (Model A071)
October 25, 2023, Commack, NY – Tamron announces a new firmware update scheduled on October 26, 2023, for TAMRON 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) and 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD (Model A071) for Sony E-mount.
With this new firmware update, the AF tracking performance has significantly improved, and will now keep good track of a moving object. Also, AF Assist function during video recording is now supported.
According to the latest reports coming out from Tamron itself, Tamron lenses specifically for DSLR mounts that include Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Pentax are no longer eligible to be repaired. This clearly indicates that after the transition of DSLR giants to mirrorless, third-party lens makers are now clearing out their DSLR lenses to put their entire attention towards the development and production of mirrorless lenses

Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Review – publsihed by kakakumag of Japan. As you can see in the samples below, the resolving capability of the 50-100mm lens is very good (He was using a Sony A7 III camera with Tammy 50-400mm)

Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Review by Toshiyuki Magara
Since this is a prototype, I won’t review the details of the image quality, but if you look at the example above, you’ll be able to see that it’s a lens that demonstrates high resolution over the entire zoom range. Even at close range, the feeling of softness is suppressed, and through shooting, I was able to feel the solid optical performance typical of Tamron lenses.
Regarding AF, it is still in the development stage, so please keep it as a reference, but by adopting the linear motor focus mechanism “VXD”, it has achieved quieter and faster operation than expected. I felt. As expected, the response drops slightly when moving the focus from a distant view to a near view (or vice versa), but the focus is achieved quickly over the entire zoom range, including the super-telephoto range. Among the company’s zoom lenses, it cannot be said that it is on the same level as the latest telephoto zoom lens “35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD”, but it is a super telephoto zoom that allows comfortable AF shooting with a similar feeling. I got the impression it was a lens.
Like Tamron’s zoom lens, it is also characterized by its strong macro. At the wide-angle end, half-macro photography is possible with a minimum focusing distance of 0.25m and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.

TNC Take: Image samples are highly impressive even at 100%, the resolving capability of the lens is very good when paired up with a 24MP sensor. If someone is looking for an affordable zoom lens 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD is recommended
According to the latest rumors, surfaced over the web Tamron 17-28mm Di III VXD G2 Lens will arrive at the end of 2022. The lens will offer significantly improved optical and autofocus performance and new function customization.
The new 17-28 mm F2.8 G2 incorporates a new optical construction to enhance imaging performance and is compatible with the latest model digital cameras like Sony A7 IV with higher resolution sensors. The AF drive, TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, is adopted to deliver higher autofocus speed with greater precision
