The most notable feature of this lens is its world-first 16.6x zoom ratio for an APS-C size mirrorless interchangeable lens. It covers a focal length of 18-300mm (equivalent to 27-450mm on a 35mm format). From super-telephoto shooting that takes advantage of the magnifying effect to wide-angle shooting that captures expansive landscapes, you can enjoy a diverse range of photographic expressions with this single lens. It also features a very compact design, weighing approximately 620g, and adopts a filter diameter of φ67mm, common to many [Tamron] mirrorless lenses. This allows for easy handling in any situation.
・【Class-leading high-speed, high-precision AF to never miss the decisive moment】The AF drive utilizes [Tamron]'s unique linear motor focus mechanism VXD. It combines top-level speed, accuracy, and responsiveness for a high-magnification zoom lens, allowing comfortable focusing from the shortest shooting distance to infinity, even at the super-telephoto 300mm (equivalent to 450mm on a 35mm format). It also boasts excellent focus tracking, ensuring you never miss the decisive moment when shooting insects, animals, or vehicles. Regarding quietness, the direct drive of the focus lens group without gears minimizes motor noise, making it ideal for still image and video shooting in quiet environments.
・【An astonishing maximum magnification of 1:2 for a high-magnification zoom lens】Model B061 boasts exceptional close-up shooting capabilities that defy the conventions of high-magnification zoom lenses. At the wide-angle end of 18mm, it achieves a minimum shooting distance of 0.15m and a maximum magnification of 1:2. Furthermore, the working distance is an astonishing 5mm※, allowing you to get close to your subject while simultaneously capturing the background in the characteristic style of wide-macro photography. ※When shooting at a minimum shooting distance of 0.15m (wide-angle end), the distance between the subject and the front of the lens is approximately 5mm. Please enjoy shooting without the subject touching the front element of the lens.
・【Uncompromising optical performance throughout the zoom range】This lens is a high-resolution lens that prioritizes rendering performance despite being a high-magnification zoom lens. It generously uses special glass materials such as four LD (Low Dispersion: abnormal low dispersion) lenses and three composite aspherical lenses to achieve beautiful rendering from the center to the periphery of the screen. This significantly reduces various aberrations, including chromatic aberration. Furthermore, the application of BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating thoroughly suppresses ghosting and flare, which are prone to occur during shooting in backlit conditions. It achieves both high image quality and soft bokeh throughout the zoom range.
・【Equipped with [Tamron]'s unique Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism】This lens is equipped with [Tamron]'s unique VC mechanism to suppress camera shake, which is prone to occur in the telephoto range. It demonstrates its power even in handheld shooting in low-illumination environments such as dimly lit rooms or night scenes, effectively reducing image degradation. Additionally, by utilizing AI (artificial intelligence) technology, it is possible to obtain correction effects that consider video shooting at focal lengths of 70mm or less.
