Product Features
- 4x zoom lens to cover the 150-600mm focal zone, which is frequently used in super-telephoto shooting
By 50mm wide-angle side, to extend 100mm telephoto side compared to the existing models, in the photographing wild life and wild birds, sports, planes, and the like, further shooting a powerful became possible. In addition, it becomes a ,233-930mm is mounted on the digital single-lens reflex camera with an APS-C size sensor, the focal length with power on the heels of focal length 1000mm. - Visual quality of top class
lens configuration 20 sheets 13 group. With advanced optical design, balance resolution performance, the contrast performance is good, I realize the picture quality sharp and clear. LD: By two to one group three (Low Dispersion abnormally low dispersion) lens, and one in three groups, to be placed in the front group with high correction effect, I thoroughly correct the axial chromatic aberration, which is a problem in telephoto shooting we have. In addition, eBAND coating was developed by coating technology of advanced ※ 1) and, by using effectively the BBAR conventional coatings, and suppresses ghost and flare to a large extent. - Even while extending up to 600mm tele side, we kept the size of the lens.
A laborer of optical design, and managed to keep to a minimum during zooming (inside the lens) the amount of movement of each lens group. Further, by suppressing the amount of movement, to reduce the movement amount of the lens barrel, thereby contributing to the compactness of the lens housing. - Beautiful depiction blurred
blur to enrich photographic expression. I adopt a circular aperture diaphragm blades with nine, I realized the beautiful blurred depiction. To the state narrowed down two stages from open aperture, I keep the shape of a substantially circular aperture. - “VC (Vibration Compensation)” camera shake correction to increase the chance of handheld shooting ※ 2) equipped with mechanism
employs a three coil system Tamron’s own, I show high correction effect. I will increase the opportunities for hand-held shooting in super-telephoto. - Comfort AF
order to improve the accuracy and speed AF, ultrasonic motor “USD” ※ 3) is adopted to achieve high-torque, high response and quietness. Full-time manual mechanism mounted, fine adjustment of the focus in the manual is also available in Autofocus mode. - Adopt a new look design with a high-quality neat
we have developed a new look design with the aim of lens that is appropriate for the magnificent full-size digital single-lens reflex camera, enhanced the texture of each part.
I’ve realized and brand of tungsten silver ring with the focus ring and zoom ring that employs a sophisticated grid pattern of straight line trend, the heavy texture, appearance design classy neat. - Tripod easy to operate
to pursue the stability of the tripod when mounted, robustness, improved operability, the ease of portability, we have significantly improved the tripod mount. - Comes with SILKYPIX Developer Studio for Tamron Tamron SP lens-only version of
the “SILKYPIX Developer Studio”, from the RAW data taken by a digital camera, developing and taste adjust white balance, color, sharpness, tone curve, such as a high-quality image It is software to be. In addition to the adjusted basic functions, so we have a (lateral chromatic aberration, distortion, peripheral brightness) functions each aberration correction based on the optical data of the lens, Tamron SP lens-only version, Tamron SP to exhibit a high imaging performance You can efficiently work making along the drawing intention in taking advantage of in conjunction with the series lens.
(※ 1) new coating which made full use of nanotechnology “eBAND coating (E-band coating)” of (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency Coating) Tamron development.
