Tamron 28-300mm f/4-7.1 features
The 28-300mm lens features Tamron’s Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive (VXD) linear motor focus mechanism, which aims to provide fast and accurate focusing across the entire zoom range.
Additionally, it includes the company’s Vibration Compensation (VC) technology to help stabilise images, particularly at the telephoto end and in low-light conditions.
With a close focusing distance of 0.19m at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8, the lens also supports macro photography.
Optical construction consists of 20 elements in 13 groups, including extra low dispersion and low dispersion elements, designed to minimise chromatic aberration, plus lens coating designed to reduce ghosting and flare.
Built for varied shooting conditions, the lens includes weather resistance and a fluorine coating on the front element. It also features a Zoom Lock mechanism to prevent unwanted extension.
The Tamron 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD lens is due to ship on 29th August 2024. For more information visit the website.
