Key Features & Benefits
-
- Massive 15x All-In-One Zoom Range: Seamlessly transition from wide-angle vistas and family portraits to extreme telephoto sports action. Carry just one lens for an entire vacation or day trip.
- VC (Vibration Compensation) Image Stabilization: Features Tamron’s proprietary low-friction optical stabilization mechanism. It compensates for hand tremors at long focal lengths and in low light, delivering crisp images without a tripod.
- PZD (Piezo Drive) Autofocus System: Powered by an advanced standing-wave ultrasonic motor, the Piezo Drive ensures quiet, precise, and noticeably faster autofocus tracking compared to bulky conventional AF motors.
- Remarkably Light and Compact Design: Engineered specifically to prevent tourist fatigue. Weighing only 450 grams and measuring just 9.6cm long when retracted, it is incredibly easy to pack and carry all day.
- Macro-Style Close Focusing: Shoot detailed close-ups of flowers, insects, or food thanks to a minimum focusing distance of 0.49 meters across the entire zoom range, providing a 1:3.8 maximum magnification ratio.
- Zoom Lock Switch: Features a mechanical lock on the lens barrel to secure the zoom ring at 18mm. This completely eliminates annoying “zoom creep” while the camera hangs safely at your side.
