Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

- Compact full-size super-telephoto 500mm that defies conventional wisdom
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 lens covers the 500mm telephoto range, yet is remarkably compact at 212.3mm in length and ø93mm in maximum diameter. Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the length is kept to approximately 287.3mm, providing excellent mobility.
Equivalent focal length when used with an APS-C size mirrorless SLR camera: 225-750mm

- Uncompromising descriptive performance
The lens construction consists of 25 elements in 16 groups. The lens is composed of 25 elements in 16 groups, including one special XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens, five LD (Low Dispersion) lenses, and two compound aspherical lenses, which are used luxuriously and effectively to thoroughly suppress chromatic aberration on axis and other aberrations. This allows the user to enjoy extremely high resolution throughout the entire image.

- VXD with high-speed, high-precision, and quiet operation
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 employs the VXD linear motor focus mechanism. It operates with extremely high speed and precision and ensures high response performance. Even with a focal length of 500mm, the VXD enables comfortable and stress-free focusing from close-up to long distance. The camera also has high focus tracking performance and can respond quickly to a variety of shooting situations. Compared to conventional drive systems, linear motors generate less vibration during AF drive and are quieter, making them ideal for shooting still images and movies in quiet environments.

- VC Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism for superior image stabilization
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with the VC image stabilization mechanism* to support more stable image creation. It provides excellent image stabilization and efficiently reduces image blurring caused by camera shake. The VC also demonstrates its power not only in hand-held shooting without a tripod, but also in low-light shooting scenes such as evening scenes and indoors.
For the 150-500mm F5-6.7 (Model A057) for Z-mount, please switch VC ON/OFF on the camera side.

- Telemacro photography enabled by excellent close-up shooting ability
The minimum focusing distance of the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is 0.6m at the wide-angle end and 1.8m at the telephoto end, demonstrating excellent close-up shooting ability for a super telephoto lens. The maximum magnification at the wide-angle end is a particularly high 1:3.1, allowing you to enjoy powerful tele macro photography while maintaining an appropriate shooting distance from the subject.
