Tamron Announces New Ultrawide-Angle Zoom Lens

Posted by Mike

Tamron, makers of quality camera lenses unveiled a unique ultra high power zoon lens that is hyped as the world’s first 15x stabilized zoom lens for Nikon and Canon SLR cameras.

While the category as to which the new lens belongs may not appeal to the general public, hardcore camera enthusiasts had long called for a high resolution and high magnification stabilized lens for modern digital SLRs.

The Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO (Model B003) is the first lens in the world to combine high zoom ratio and effective Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism. This allows capturing of super detailed images without leaving a long telephoto setting.

Taking pictures in long distances is also made easier with the lens’ vast zoon-range and wide angle capability. Photographers will only need to turn on the zooming control.

The new lens also sports Tamron’s tri-axial Vibration Compensation system that reduces the effect of camera shakes in images. This makes taking pictures without the use of a tripod a breeze. The technology also has a strong implication on candid, sports and news photography.

The lens’ price is not yet disclosed.
