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 convenient, enjoyable, and accessible.

This megazoom pushes the boundaries of conventional travel zooms in both the wide-angle and telephoto ranges. With a minimum focal length of 16 mm (equivalent to a viewing angle of 24.8 mm in full-frame) up to a maximum focal length of 300 mm (equivalent to a viewing angle of 465 mm), this remarkable lens offers a zoom factor of 18.8x. It meets the demand of many customers for increased flexibility. Whether it's 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.

Sophisticated and reliable image quality in a versatile lens. The lens construction features 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical elements, one hybrid aspherical element, two LD (Low Dispersion) elements, one XR (Extra Refractive Index) element, and one UXR (Ultra-Extra Refractive Index) element, which has an even higher refractive index than XR glass.

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

With 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 magnification ratio of 1:2.9. This makes it even easier to capture exciting details up close and showcase them effectively.
