18-300 mm f3.5-6.3 Di III AVC

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD covers a wide range of focal lengths, equivalent to around 27-450mm in the full-frame format. As the world's first1 zoom for APS-C mirrorless cameras with a 16.6x focal range, the lens offers the benefits of a versatile all-in-one zoom lens, ideal for a wide range of photographic uses. Its autofocus drive system uses the TAMRON VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focusing mechanism, thus offering excellent quiet operation and maximum agility of use.
The lens incorporates special optical elements arranged with extreme precision to ensure high resolution over the entire frame area and offer high image quality, to the point of being the best of all all-in zoom lenses. one.

Thanks to its minimum distance-to-subject (MOD) of just 0.15m at the 18mm wide-angle end and a remarkable maximum magnification ratio of 1: 2, this lens performs surprisingly well when shooting up close. The lens is equipped with the proprietary TAMRON VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism, capable of effectively reducing the blur caused by camera movements when light is scarce or when operating with ultra-telephoto focal lengths and slow exposure times.

Also, like most other TAMRON lenses dedicated to mirrorless cameras, the lens features a unified 67mm diameter filter thread. With a wide range of other features designed to make shooting more comfortable, this lens is extraordinarily versatile and allows you to easily obtain high image quality throughout the focal range, from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT

1. The world's first 16.6x all-in-one zoom for APS-C mirrorless cameras

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD is the world's first lens dedicated to APS-C mirrorless cameras featuring a 16.6x focal range. This allows it to cover all focal lengths from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto. The equivalent focal range in the full-frame format ranges from 27 to 450 mm. Thanks to this wide coverage, it allows you to create images in a wide variety of situations, which include snapshots of everyday life and travel, both wide-angle and ultra-dynamic landscape photographs and macro photography.

2. Extremely fast and accurate best-in-class AF made possible by the VXD linear motor focusing mechanism

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD implements the VXD linear motor focusing mechanism, a TAMRON exclusive. It allows you to have one of the best autofocus speed and accuracy offered by all-in-one zoom lenses, for autofocus photography with maximum precision throughout its focal range, from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto. Excellent for keeping a moving subject in focus, ideal when photographing animals, planes, trains and more. It is extremely quiet and therefore perfect for both photo and video shooting when it is necessary to operate without making noise.

3. MOD of 0.15 m and maximum magnification ratio of 1: 2 at the wide-angle end

With a minimum distance to subject (MOD) of 0.15m at the closest focal length 18mm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1: 2, the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD performs
incredibly well in close-up shots compared to other all-in-one zoom lenses3. Lets you take creative macro photography with very blurry backgrounds, a unique feature of macro photography. As a forerunner to all-in-one zoom lenses, TAMRON demonstrates unmatched originality in close-up shooting.

4. Best image quality in its class

In terms of image quality, the new 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD is one of the best performing all-in-one zoom lenses ever made for APS-C mirrorless cameras. To achieve a 16.6x focal range while ensuring high image quality, the lens features a well-balanced arrangement of three hybrid aspherical elements and four LD (Low Dispersion) elements to effectively suppress optical aberrations. It maintains a high resolving power over the entire area of the image, from the center to the corners, along the entire focal range of the zoom.
