All-in-One Zoom for Sony APS-C
The Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD covers a 16.6x zoom range with a 27-450mm equivalent focal length on APS-C Sony E-mount bodies. Its VXD linear motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override for both stills and video. Moisture-resistant construction and Vibration Compensation support handheld shooting in varied conditions.
Check Mount and Clearance
Confirm your camera uses the Sony E mount and is an APS-C model to match the 27-450mm equivalent coverage. The lens extends to 4.9 inches and weighs 21.9 ounces, so verify your bag or strap can accommodate the length and balance. Minimum focus distance is 5.9 feet with 1:2 maximum magnification for close-up work. Filter thread size is not supplied in the data.
Travel Shooters Wanting One Lens
Suits photographers who need wide-angle to super-telephoto reach in a single, portable package for travel, events or everyday carry. Not for users who require a constant wide aperture across the zoom range or full-frame image-circle coverage. Buyers needing faster low-light performance or wider maximum apertures should look at something else.

Questions about this item
Does the box include a lens hood or tripod collar, or must I buy them separately?
The lens ships with front and rear caps; a petal-type hood is included in the box, while a tripod collar is not supplied and would be a separate purchase.
Should I choose this 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 or a shorter-range zoom with a constant aperture?
Pick the 18-300mm when a 16.6x range covering 27-450mm equivalent replaces several lenses; choose a constant-aperture zoom if you prioritise consistent f/2.8 brightness over focal-length flexibility.
What does the 1:2 maximum magnification mean for close-up shooting on an APS-C body?
At the 5.9 inch minimum focus distance the lens projects subjects at half life-size on the sensor, turning small details like flowers or textures into frame-filling images without extra accessories.
