The powerful megazoom starts at an unprecedented 16 mm and delivers maximum flexibility in all situations with a telephoto focal length of 300 mm. By integrating the PZD (Piezo Drive) ultrasonic motor and VC image stabilization, Tamron not only enhances the performance of this all-round lens but also opens up new possibilities to make photography more comfortable, enjoyable, and accessible.

This megazoom pushes the boundaries of conventional travel zooms in both wide-angle and telephoto ranges. With a minimum focal length of 16 mm (equivalent to a 24.8 mm angle of view in full-frame) and a maximum focal length of 300 mm (equivalent to a 465 mm angle of view), this remarkable lens offers a zoom factor of 18.8x. It meets the demand of many customers for increased flexibility. Whether for the extended wide-angle or the long 300 mm telephoto focal length, the desired zoom factor can be easily and quickly selected with a slight twist.

It provides demanding and reliable image quality in a versatile lens. The lens construction consists of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical elements, one hybrid aspherical element, two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements, and one XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass element, as well as one UXR (Ultra-Extra Refractive Index) glass that has an even higher refractive index than XR glasses.

The proven Tamron VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilizer ensures sharp and shake-free images in this lens. This allows the long telephoto focal length to be perfectly utilized even for handheld shots.

A minimum focusing distance of just 39 cm for macro photography. The new lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 0.39 m across the entire zoom range, with a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:2.9. This makes it even easier to capture exciting details up close and showcase them beautifully.
