Market Friday the new Lens
A post for Market Friday hosted by 
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.
For this weeks post, I am going to talk about the new Lens I bought a month ago and have only used twice the Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony E.
Lulu had a couple of good nights sleep, well better nights sleep, and hence I did as well, so when she was taking a nap yesterday morning I did a quick visit to Buttonwood park and the pond to get some shots for this post, which I will share later in the post.
The photos of the lenses are all taken with my phone

Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Sony E
And you may wonder what all the letters stand for so here goes
50-400mm thats the zoom Range of the lens, the last couple of photos may make that clearer
f/4.5-6.3, thats the minimum Aperture or how much light the lens lets in, not the fastest of lens but for what I plan to use it for it will work for me
Di III - Di-III lenses are engineered specifically for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. They adopt an optical design that matches the characteristics of the digital camera.
VC Vibration Compensation, this is Tamron's in lens Image Stabilization technology
As you can see it has three modes of VC namely
VC MODE 1 is the standard mode that strikes a great balance between the stability of the viewfinder image and the stabilization effects.
VC MODE 2 is exclusively used for panning.
VC MODE 3 prioritizes the stabilization of the captured images and forgoes the stabilization of the viewfinder image.
I don't often do panning so mine will mostly be set to mode 1
VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) a linear motor focus mechanism that delivers excellent quietness and agile performance, thereby producing a high level of autofocusing speed and precision
It also has a customizable button with three settings for it, the button is on the left and the right switch is to change what the button does, I havent set that up yet but will do soon
This is my third Tamron lens, I find they work very well and are reasonably priced and cheaper than the Sony equivalents, infact I found out when registering it with Sony, that now having three of their lenses I am or will be in 2023 considered a VIP Tamron member, but haven't looked into what that means.
These are the three lens I will most often walk around with these days on the left the 17-28 zF2.8 Lens, in the middle the 28-75 F2.8 Lens and the new 50-400 on the right

Added a couple of other lens that will occasionally go in my bag, depending on where I am heading on the far left the Sony 90MM macro Lens, and next to it the ttArtisan 11mm Wide angle lens

Now the 50-400 is a bigger lens and not light but a lot smaller than my Sony 200-600 lens which I use when going out hoping to get shots of birds, specifically, that one is big and heavy so I don't carry it with me all the time

And as promised at the start a couple of shots taken with the lems, first looking across the pond at 50mm

And then to show the zoom this shot is at 400mm of the swan

I took a few more shots and if time permits I will edit those today and share soon
But from the couple of times I have tried it out I am very happy with it, its a good lens, and very versatile both with the large zoom range and the ability to be walking along and use it as a semi macro lens when needed or quickly zoom in if a bird flies by will come in handy
And that’s all folks
