Tamron AFB016N700 Expand your options with high-power zooming from 16mm wide-angle, 18.8x, Zoom

Expand your options with high-power zooming from 16mm wide-angle.

Spanning an ultra-wide spectrum of focal lengths, the all-in-oneTMzoom lens is a supremely versatile photographic tool. Now, Tamron sets a new standard with a revolutionary new 18.8x zoom lens for APS-C sized digital SLR cameras. This single lens covers 16mm to 300mm and provides macro focusing. It combines our latest advances in optical design – including the deployment of aspherical elements and newly developed glass - with multiple layers of coating to produce clear, sharp images while maintaining compact dimensions. Imagine the creative possibilities embodied in this latest breakthrough from the pioneer in high-power zooms!

18.8x

ZOOM

The world’s first 18.8x zoom, plus 1:2.9 macro reproduction

Zooming from 16mm to 300mm, at its widest-angle setting this lens can shoot sweeping panoramic landscapes and intimate interiors, and as a telephoto it can capture powerful close-ups of distant subjects. Macro focusing down to 1:2.9 is also provided.

Advanced optical and mechanical design technology achieve high image quality in a compact, lightweight zoom

The cutting-edge lens design consists of 16 elements in 12 groups and includes three Molded-Glass Aspherical elements, two LD (Low Dispersion) elements and UXR (Ultra-Extra Re- fractive Index) glass. Together, they correct optical aberrations, while state-of-the-art multi-layer coating significantly minimizes ghosting and flare to deliver images of exceptional clarity. The entire package is kept incredibly compact through the use of advanced mechanical design engineering.

Elegant new style

The rubber grips on the zoom and focus rings have a rectilinear grid pattern that adds sophistication to the design, while the signature Tamron brand ring in tungsten silver enhances its luxurious finish.

Moisture-resistant construction

Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture from penetrating the lens.

VC (Vibration Compensation)

VC (Vibration Compensation) is Tamron’s proprietary image stabilization system. It employs three driving coils that electro- magnetically activate a shake-compensating VC lens group. Since the VC lens elements are held in place only by three ceramic ball bearings, there is smooth movement with little

friction. Even when shooting long-range or under low light, the viewfinder image remains stable and the tracking response is excellent.

PZD (Piezo Drive) for faster, quieter autofocus action

The PZD (Plezo Drive) provides noticeably faster, quieter auto- focus action, allowing users to capture spontaneous moments in crisp images and to continue to shoot even when quiet operation is required. The full-time manual focus system en- ables fine focus adjustments to be made during autofocus shooting whhout having to change the focus mode beforehand.
