World First for APS-C

The Tamron 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD Lens stands as the world’s first lens for APS-C mirrorless camera systems with an expansive 16.6x optical zoom ratio. This covers the full focal range from wide angle to ultra-telephoto, with a full-frame equivalent focal length ranging between 27mm to 450mm. By utilising such a broad, bright, and clear coverage, this Tamron lens is well-equipped for a wide variety of shooting applications. This includes day-to-day shooting, travel, landscape, and macro photography.

AF Speed and Precision

By utilising Tamron’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism, this 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD lens has the capacity for fast-action AF speeds and high levels of precision. This is true throughout the full range, from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto. Because of this key optical consistency, this lens is ideally suited to tracking fast-moving subjects in focus such as animals, aircrafts, and railways. Due to its near-silent operation, the Tamron 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 is great for more intimate still and video shooting. This is especially prevalent when photographing close-up to living subjects.

VC Stabilisation

Despite its compact form-factor, the 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD Lens is equipped with Tamron’s high-end VC mechanism. Working both with or without in-camera stabilisation, the VC effectively mitigates camera shake which is especially prevalent in low-light and during night shoots. By using state-of-the-art AI technology, this lens will select the most efficient compensation characteristic for videography at focal lengths of 70mm or less.
