Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VXD Z-Mount Gallery

In September of 2022 I had a chance to review the Sony E-mount version of Tamron’s very intriguing 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC VXD lens, a lens that expanded the traditional formula of a 100-400mm zoom by adding an additional 50mm of…

Fujinon GF 500mm F5.6 OIS Gallery
