## Overview

The Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD is a lightweight and compact telephoto zoom lens designed for Sony full-frame and APS-C E-mount cameras. With a fast maximum aperture of F/2.8, it offers exceptional low-light performance and stunning image quality. The lens features a VXD linear motor for high-speed autofocus, moisture-resistant construction, and the ability to receive firmware updates directly from your camera, making it a versatile choice for both professional and aspiring photographers.

## Description

The 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A056) large aperture telephoto zoom lens is designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras and is just as comfortable on APS-C mirrorless as well. The greatest feature is its superb performance even while attaining a high-speed F/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range and offering the world's lightest and most compact package at just 5.9" length (at the 70mm setting) and a weight of 28.6 oz. Thanks to the generous use of special lens elements, the 70-180mm F/2.8 achieves excellent optical performance from center to edge. With the short MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 33.5", the 70-180mm F/2.8 expands the possibilities for photographic expression. For the AF drive, Tamron has newly developed the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a linear motor focus mechanism that delivers high-speed and high precision autofocus performance for both stills and video. Add it all together and you can go light while going long—and get the shot!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Lens makes noise when shaken, up/down or side to side, when it is not mounted on camera or if the camera is off. anyone else seeing this problem?**
A: I got the lens today sold by amazon.com and I experienced the same rattling noise without even connecting to the camera body. I will test it for a few days to see if everything is ok. My Sigma 24-70mm Art does not have any rattling noise when shaken. I am really disappointed by Amazon packaging. The package worth $1100+ came inside an envelope package. Strange. Amazon could not even put the lens inside a box. very disappointed.

**Q: Is this an fe lens? i’m a bit confused. i have the sony a7riv.**
A: To Heather.Elsewhere, 
      FE stands for FULL FRAME E mount for your FULL FRAME SONY A7RIV. I own the new TAMRON 70-180mm f2.8 Di III VXD and it IS a FULL FRAME lens. I LOVE it!!!!!!! Any FULL FRAME ( FE mount ) will also work on an APS-C  sensor camera.

**Q: Can it be used with sony a7iii camera?**
A: Yes it can and it works phenomenally. The optics of this lens are great and the size/weight compliment the A7III very well.

**Q: Does this fit a canon 5d mark iii full frame camera?**
A: No this lens only fits Sony
Get the 70-200mm f2.8 G2 Tamron for Canon EF Mount 
It’s great and we sell it
