Hood locking mechanism prevents unintentional detachment The lens hood is equipped with a locking mechanism, which prevents detachment due to unintentional contact during use.

The end of the included lens hood is protected with flexible, shock-absorbing front rim to prevent cracks and damage TAMRON emphasized usability for outdoor shooting. The end of the included lens hood is protected with flexible, shock-absorbing front rim to prevent cracks and damage.

Lightweight, easy-to-hold tripod mount with Arca-Swiss-compatible quick-release plate A tripod mount compatible with Arca-Swiss style quick release plates can be easily attached and detached and are renowned for their excellent stability. And because the tripod mount is made of lightweight and robust magnesium alloy, it is much easier to carry. Using a tripod makes the [...]

The characteristic of less of a tendency to separate a ray of light into a rainbow of colours effectively compensates for chromatic and lateral chromatic aberration LD lens elements in help reduce chromatic aberrations. Chromatic aberration reduces the sharpness of an image, but glass with an extremely low dispersion index has less of a tendency [...]

XLD lens elements made from specialized ultra-high-grade glass allow much greater control over chromatic aberration and magnification aberrations XLD lens elements made from specialized ultra-high-grade glass allow much greater control over chromatic aberration and magnification aberrations than LD lens elements. XLD lens elements deliver the highest possible contrast, the finest detail, and superior imaging performance [...]

GM lens elements have a significant impact on minimizing distortion and enhancing the sharpness of the image at its periphery GM lens elements are capable of efficiently correcting aberrations in the angle of view that changes significantly with an ultra wide-angle zoom lens. It has an especially significant impact on minimizing distortion and enhancing the [...]

XGM lens elements allow to harmonize both fast-aperture and distinguishably high resolution by minimizing distortion and enhancing the sharpness of the image at its periphery Not only minimizing geometric distortion and/or spherical aberration, it also enables the ability to attain higher resolution while making the overall mechanical dimensions smaller. TAMRON’s XGM is a nomenclature of [...]

A highly durable protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellant With the highly durable fluorine compound that has excellent water- and oil-repellent properties, the lens surface is much easier to wipe clean and less vulnerable to damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture, and fingerprints, and enabling your important lenses to be continually protected on [...]
