forward or behind the optimum point when shooting with auto focus under some conditions.

-The image circle of Di-II lenses are designed to match the digital SLR cameras using the image sensors equivalent to APS-C (approx. 15.5x23.2mm). Do not use Di-II lenses with cameras using image sensors larger than APS-C. Using Di-II lenses with such cameras may cause vignetting on the image.

-The Tamron lenses described here employ an internal focusing (IF) system. Because of the characteristics of this optical design, the angles of view at distances other than infinity are wider than that of the lenses applying an ordinary focusing system.

-When the built-in-flash on the camera is used, adverse photographic phenomena such as corner illumination fall-off or vignetting at the bottom part of the image may be observed, especially in wide angle ranges. This is due to the inherent limitation of the coverage of the built-in-flash, and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel which causes shadows on the image. It is strongly recommended to use a suitable separate flash unit provided by the camera manufacturer for all flash photography. For further details, please read the “built-in-flash” article on the instruction manual of your camera.

-When set on AF mode, interfering with the focusing ring may cause serious damage to the lens mechanism.

-Certain models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values of the lens in approximate numbers. This is inherent to the design of the camera and not an indication of an error.

-Please be aware that there is no infrared index line on any models listed in this owner’s manual, and therefore, practically no black-and-white infrared file can be used with these lenses.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION

-Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use photographic lens cloths or blowers to remove dust from the lens element surface. When not using the lens, always place a lens cap on it for protection.

-Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to remove fingerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary motion from the center to the edge. Use a silicone cloth to clean your lens barrel only.

-Mildew is an enemy of your lens. Clean the lens after shooting near water or in any humid place. Store your lens in a clean, cool, dry place. When storing the lens in a lens case, store it with commercially available drying agents such as silicagel, and change the agent occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, consult an authorized repair shop or nearby photographic store.

-Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts since dust, dirt and/or stains may cause a contact failure between the lens and camera.

-When using your equipment [camera(s) and lens(es)] in an environment where the temperature changes from one extreme to the other, make sure to put your equipment temporarily in a case or plastic bag for a length of time in order for the equipment to go through a gradual temperature shift. This will reduce potential equipment trouble.

AFB008N700, AFB008S700, AFB008C700 specifications

The Tamron AFB008C700, AFB008S700, and AFB008N700 lenses represent an evolution in optical technology, providing photographers with remarkable versatility and high-quality performance. Designed for varying camera systems, these lenses cater to Canon, Sony, and Nikon mounts, respectively, and offer a powerful solution for a variety of shooting situations.

One of the defining features of these lenses is their exceptional focal length of 18-200mm, which allows for a broad range of applications, from wide-angle landscapes to close-up portraits. The versatility of the zoom range makes them perfect for everyday photography, travel, and events, where changing lenses frequently can be impractical.

Another standout characteristic is the advanced optical design. The use of multiple special low-dispersion and aspherical lens elements minimizes aberrations and improves image sharpness. This optical configuration contributes to stunning clarity and contrast across the entire frame, ensuring that every shot captures the intended detail and vibrancy.

Incorporating Tamron's innovative VC (Vibration Compensation) technology, these lenses offer enhanced stability, allowing photographers to shoot at slower shutter speeds without compromising image quality. This feature is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or when capturing moving subjects, as it reduces the risk of motion blur.

Moreover, the lenses utilize a fast and precise autofocus system. This hybrid autofocus mechanism ensures quick acquisition of focus, even in dynamic scenes. Photographers can trust the responsiveness of the lenses, making them ideal for capturing spontaneous moments without delay.

The build quality is also commendable, with a robust design that ensures durability in diverse environments. The use of moisture-resistant materials provides added peace of mind for outdoor photography, allowing users to shoot in light rain or humid conditions without fear of damaging the lens.

Furthermore, the Tamron AFB008 series lenses are compatible with various camera features, including in-camera stabilization and focus tracking, enriching the user experience and expanding creative possibilities.

In summary, the Tamron AFB008C700, AFB008S700, and AFB008N700 lenses combine advanced technology with practical versatility, making them ideal tools for photographers who demand excellence in their craft. Whether for personal projects or professional assignments, these lenses deliver impressive performance, ensuring every photograph is a testament to quality.
