The Tamron 16–50mm F2.8 for modern APS-C cameras covers an exceptionally versatile focal length range from wide-angle to medium telephoto, equivalent to 24–75mm on a full-frame camera.
Starting at a wide-angle focal length of 16 mm, it effortlessly captures expansive landscapes, architecture, and wide-angle group shots such as family photos—even in cramped indoor spaces. The medium telephoto range offers a wide variety of shooting possibilities, including Schnappschüsse and enchanting portraits of parent-child moments.

Compact Design
Despite its constant maximum aperture of f/2.8, the lens remains exceptionally compact and lightweight, with a length of just 79.6 mm and a weight of only 305 g. The filter size is 55 mm. Combined with a highly rigid lens barrel, this makes the lens a versatile standard zoom for everyday use.

Fast Aperture and Beautiful Bokeh
Despite its compact size, this lens offers a constant, fast F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, starting at 16 mm wide-angle. The exceptional optical design offers a beautiful combination of soft bokeh and sharp image reproduction, effortlessly highlighting your subject—for highly expressive images.
The fast f/2.8 aperture also allows for faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions—such as indoors or at dusk—effectively minimizing motion blur when photographing active children or fast-moving rides at amusement parks.

VXD Linear Motor
The autofocus system is equipped with the fast and highly precise VXD (Voice-coil eXtremetorque Drive) linear motor. It reliably captures fleeting, spontaneous moments and offers excellent subject tracking, smoothly handling even the unpredictable movements of pets and children. Furthermore, thanks to its exceptionally quiet operation, it’s suitable for both still photography and video recording in noise-sensitive environments.

Ideal for Video Recording
The 16–50 mm f/2.8 is excellent for video recording, making it ideal for lifestyle clips and travel vlogs (vlogging). The 16-mm wide-angle setting allows for selfies that include the background. The quiet autofocus and excellent balance when mounted on a gimbal or a shooting grip ensure a comfortable shooting experience. The Sony E-Mount and Nikon Z-mount versions support the Tamron Lens Utility™.

Creative Perspectives A minimum focusing distance (MOD) of 0.15 m–0.29 m (6 inches–11.5 inches) delivers exceptional close-up capabilities. You can effortlessly capture flowers or café scenes with expansive backgrounds while taking advantage of the wide-angle perspective, without being limited by working distance. This close-focus capability expands your creative possibilities—from sweeping wide-angle shots to intimate portraits of a sleeping child, framed by soft bokeh in the mid-telephoto range.
