Tamron AF 28-300mm Ff/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC Lens Tamron's Vibration Compensation—blur-stopping power, with no annoying motion delay in your viewfinder! Camera shake can ruin your photos, particularly at telephoto or in low light. Tamron's state-of-the-art Vibration Compensation mechanism incorporated into the award-winning 28-300mm zoom gives you blur-free hand-held images for incredible results! Finally, the technology you need in the lens you want.   The Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO zoom lens, a high power zoom lens designed for SLR cameras with full-size format (Model A20), now equipped with a Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism. The AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC is the ultimate high power zoom lens that covers everything from wide-angle to telephoto and macro. Tamron has incorporated a Vibration Compensator, an anti-shake mechanism developed by Tamron, into the highly versatile zoom lens. The new AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO zoom lens offers the convenience, comfort and versatility of a high power zoom lens and the capability to reduce hand-shake blur on SLR cameras using either APS-C size or full size format imagers.   When the AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC is used with a full size format SLR camera, it covers the tremendous focal length range from 28mm in wide angle to 300mm ultra telephoto. When mounted on a DSLR with an APS-C sized imager, the lens covers a 43mm wide angle to 465mm equivalent ultra telephoto* (full size format equivalent, in a diagonal angle of view of 5°20').   Nikon mount model has built-in focusing motor making it compatible with the Nikon D40 / D40x / D60 D-SLR cameras. (*) The ratio Tamron uses to convert from full size format to APS-C focal length is 1.55X.     Specifications   Model A020 Lens Construction (Groups/Elements) 13/18 Angle of View 75°23'-8°15' (APS-C size equivalent) Type of Zooming Rotation Diaphragm Blade Number 9 Minimum Aperture F/22 ~ F/40 (28mm-300mm) Minimum Focus Distance 19.3in.(0.49m) (entire zoom range) Macro Magnification Ratio 1:3 (at f=300mm, MFD=0.49m) Filter Diameter ř67 Weight 555g (19.4oz)* Diameter x Length ř3.06 x 3.9in.    (ř78 x 99mm) Accessory Flower-shaped Lens hood Mount Canon, Nikon (with Built-In Motor for use with all Nikon DSLR cameras)   *values given for Nikon AF cameras   Specifications are from Tamron Lenses USA. Subject to change without notice.   Compatibility of 28-300mm Di VC for Canon If the 28-300mm Di VC (model A20) for Canon mount is used with EOS-1Ds, the Vibration Compensation Mechanism will not function correctly. When the 28-300mm Di VC (model A20) for Canon mount is used in combination with some of the EOS Series Film Cameras, the VC function may not work.       MAIN FEATURES   1.     VC (Vibration Compensation) Mechanism Reduces Hand-shake The proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism developed by Tamron features a triaxial configuration using three pairs of driving coils and slide balls around the compensator group of the lens' optical system. Since the compensator lenses are supported with rolling friction of the balls, the response performance is enhanced and the construction is simple, which results in the compactness of the lens. The lens incorporate a highly accurate gyro sensor for detecting hand-shake, which, combined with a 32-bit RISC CPU, offers comfortable anti-vibration effects. 2.     Outstanding Design Realizing High Zoom Power, VC Mechanism and Compactness The AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.5 XR Di VC integrates optical technologies that Tamron has accumulated as the pioneer and leader of high power zoom lenses in order to realize the desired compactness even while incorporating the VC mechanism. The optical system uses a number of lens elements made from special optical glass materials including XR (high refraction index) glass elements, GM (glass-moulded aspherical lens) elements, hybrid aspherical elements, LD (low dispersion) glass elements to compensate for on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations and AD (anomalous dispersion) glass element. The lens offers high contrast, high resolution performance and flatness of the image field as a one-does-it-all zoom lens designed to match the characteristics of DSLR cameras. 3.     Revolutionary MFD of 0.49m (19.3") throughout the Zoom Range Provides 1:3 Macro Magnification Ratio The AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD MACRO boasts an MFD (minimum focusing distance) of 0.49m (19.3") over the entire zoom range, a top-class closing focusing capability among high power zoom lenses for full-size format SLR cameras, which provides the remarkable maximum macro magnification ratio of 1:3 at the 300mm telephoto- end. 4.     Internal Surface Coatings Minimize Ghosting and Flare Through the use of "Internal Surface Coatings" (i.e., multiple-layer coatings on cemented surfaces of plural elements) and multiple-layer coatings to prevent reflections from lens surfaces, ghosting and flare due to reflections that occur when light enters through the front element as well as reflections caused by the imager itself in the mirror box are reduced to the absolute minimum. 5.     Ultra-high Zoom Power, yet Lightweight and Compact Design Thanks to New Mechanical Devices Tamron has reviewed the roles that respective barrel parts play in order to achieve high power, compactness and light weight. As a result, dimensional increases are confined to a mere 17.8mm (0.7") in overall length and about 5mm(0.2") in diameter, when compared with the existing AF28-300mm (Model A061), despite the incorporation of the VC mechanism 6.     Zoom Lock Mechanism for Enhanced Portability The zoom lock prevents unwanted barrel extension when carrying the lens/camera combination over the shoulder. 7.     Flower-shaped Lens Hood A flower-shaped lens hood is included as a standard accessory. The special hood provides optimum shading of superfluous light rays that enter from the rectangular frame outside the image field.
