April 14, 2020, Saitama, Japan – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shiro Ajisaka), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the presentation by the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) of its TIPA Award 2020 to Tamron lens; SP 35mm F/1.4 Di USD (Model F045) for “BEST DSLR PRIME LENS”. Tamron has been honored with TIPA Awards for seven consecutive years.
Excerpt from the Award Citation of the TIPA Jury
As fast lenses become increasingly popular, Tamron has responded with products that overcome classic design challenges such as chromatic aberration and flare. This includes a “dense” arrangement of elements and groups, use of GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements, and a newly developed BBAR-G2 Coating that renders fine subject detail and stunning contrast even under backlit conditions. In addition, a new Dynamic Rolling-cam mechanism operates the heavy focusing unit of the large f/1.4 aperture with high-speed accuracy.
