Amazing Zoom Power of 15X – World’s First Achievement
With the advent of the latest 15X zoom lens from Tamron, the pioneer of high power zoom lenses, the high power zoom lens has steadily evolved from a 7.1X to a 10.7X to a 13.9X and now to the world’s largest zoom ratio of 15X by combining advanced high power zoom design technologies accumulated by Tamron since 1992.
The lens covers an angle of view equivalent to that of a 28mm wideangle to a 419mm ultra telephoto with just one lens, letting the user capture once-in-the-lifetime images of panoramic landscape images or close-up pictures of children smiling, without having to get too close to the subject and without having to change lenses.
Features Advanced VC Mechanism Highly Evaluated for Its Hand-shake Compensation Performance
The highly evaluated VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism originally developed by Tamron delivers exceedingly stabilized viewfinder images for remarkable hand-held photography without annoying motion delay. The VC mechanism exhibits its camera-shake compensation performance to the maximum extent at dusk, in dimly-lit indoor situations, or in hand-held shooting at the ultra-telephoto settings.
Designed to fit APS-C size imagers in order to reduce its diameter
Attempts to design shorter focal lengths inevitably result in a larger lens diameter. Tamron has solved this problem by designing the size of the lens’ image circle to match that of APS-C size imagers. In the compact design, it is almost comparable to a lens offering the same angles of view in full-size format.
