Description
The AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC covers
everything from wide-angle to telephoto and macro. Tamron
has incorporated a Vibration Compensator an anti-shake
mechanism developed by Tamron into this highly versatile
zoom lens.
The new AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF)
MACRO zoom lens offers the convenience, comfort and
versatility of a high power zoom lens and the capability to
reduce hand-shake blur on DSLR cameras using either APS-C
size or full-size format imagers.
When the AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC is used with a
full-size format SLR camera, it covers a tremendous focal
length range from 28mm in wide angle to 300mm ultra
telephoto. When mounted on a DSLR with an APS-C sized
imager, the lens covers a 43mm wide angle to 465mm ultra
telephoto(*) (full size format equivalent, in a diagonal
angle of view of 5°20').
The proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism
developed by Tamron features a triaxial configuration using
three pairs of driving coils and slide balls around the
compensator group of the lens' optical system. Since the
compensator lenses are supported with rolling friction of
the balls, the response performance is enhanced and the
construction is simple, which results in the compactness of
the lens. The lens incorporates a highly accurate gyro
sensor for detecting hand-shake, which, combined with a
32-bitRISC CPU, offers comfortable anti-vibration effects.
Outstanding Design Realizing High Zoom Power, VC Mechanism
and Compactness
The AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.5 XR Di VC integrates optical
technologies that Tamron has accumulated as the pioneer and
leader of high power zoom lenses in order to realize the
desired compactness even while incorporating the VC
mechanism. The optical system uses a number of lens elements
made from special optical glass materials including XR (high
refraction index) glass elements, GM (glass-molded)
elements, hybrid aspherical elements, LD (low dispersion)
glass elements to compensate for on-axis and lateral
chromatic aberrations and AD (anomalous dispersion) glass
element. The lens offers high contrast, high resolution
performance and flatness of the image field as a
one-does-it-all zoom lens designed to match the
characteristics of DSLR cameras.
Revolutionary MFD of 19.3" (0.49m) Throughout Zoom
Range Provides 1:3 Macro Magnification Ratio
The AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC MACRO boasts an MFD
(minimum focusing distance) of 19.3" (0.49m) over the
entire zoom range, a top-class close focusing capability
among high power zoom lenses for full-size format SLR
cameras, which provides the remarkable maximum macro
magnification ratio of 1:3 at the 300mm telephoto end.
