Tamron A005 SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD Canon Mount Lens
Fast becoming a benchmark for this category, the SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC is an ideal choice for a two-zoom systemùcomplimenting a wide-to-moderate-tele zoom perfectly. Delivering class-leading sharpness, brilliant color and striking contrast, discriminative APS-C and full-frame digital SLR photographers alike are quick to laud its performance. The first lens to feature Tamron's USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) auto-focus drive mechanism and VC (Vibration Compensation)* image stabilization, these proprietary technologies are teamed with XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass in a 17 element, 12 group formula. APS-C-sensor photographers will enjoy extreme telephoto subject magnification, with a resulting picture angle range approximating a 109-465mm lens on a 35mm film or full-frame DSLR. Sharpness, enhanced by Tamron's exclusive tri-axial VC image stabilization is amazing. Combating blur from camera shake, Tamron VC enables shooting handheld at as many as four shutter speeds slower than would be possible otherwise. Full-time manual focus makes fine tuning easy.
Key Features:
Tamron SP Designation
Reserved for lenses developed with special emphasis on extraordinary photographic performance. Engineers are free to innovate in an uncommon atmosphere where optical performance comes before price, resulting in lenses that satisfy the demands of discerning photographers.
Tri-Axial VC Vibration Compensation
Optical image stabilization Tri-Axial VC addresses the adverse effects of camera shake in three planes making it possible to shoot handheld at as many as four shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible.
XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) Optics
A brilliant combination that combats chromatic aberrations at all focal lengths while rendering crisp and faithful images with a unique 17 element, 12 group formula.
USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive)
A super fast auto focus system that maintains a fixed barrel length when focusing as well as keeping focus noise to a minimum.
109-465mm Focal Length on APS-C
Because an APS-C sensor gives you anywhere from a 1.5x to 1.6x increase in focal length you get a super zoom telephoto lens without compromising sharpness or light intake.
Di Lens Compatibility
Di lenses are performance optimized for digital SLR cameras and usable with DSLRs featuring sensors commonly referred to as APS-C, measuring approximately 24mm x 16mm, as well as larger full frame (36mm x 24mm) sensors and 35mm film SLRs.
