Zoom Up to 600mm for Images That Soar.
Capture the power and beauty of wildlife, birds, travel destinations, and exciting
sports action close-ups with this high-performance 150-600mm long-range zoom. VC
(Vibration Compensation) and USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) enable you to shoot crisp
images of fast-moving, distant subjects handheld, while proprietary Tamron optical
technology, including eBAND Coating, works to suppress flare and ghosting for
impressively clear, vibrant images.
Advanced Optical Technology.
Three LD (Low Dispersion) elements are effectively deployed to correct chromatic
aberrations, a challenging problem when shooting at long distances and at long focal-
length settings. Tamron's eBAND Coating and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating
help suppress flare and ghosting for class-leading image quality.
VC (Vibration Compensation).
VC (Vibration Compensation) is Tamron's proprietary image stabilization system.
Tamron's VC is a three-coil system, whereby three driving coils activate the shake-
compensating VC lens group electromagnetically via three ceramic ball bearings. The VC
lens elements are held in place by contact with the ceramic ball bearings, achieving
smooth movement with little friction. And since the VC mechanism is moved in parallel
using only the motorized control, the mechanical structure has been simplified,
enabling the development of a more compact lens.
USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive).
The quiet high-torque USD motor ensures a speedy and accurate autofocus
response.
New eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) Coating.
This new coating technique developed by Tamron deploys a nano-structured layer (1 nm =
1/1,000,000mm) of ultra-low refractive index, with dimensions smaller than the
wavelengths of visible rays of light. This nano-structured layer coupled with the
sophisticated multiple layer coatings underneath, yields significant anti-reflection
properties, efficiently reducing undesired flare and ghosting to an absolute minimum to
deliver sharp, crisp images.
Compact and Stylish.
While covering a very wide range of focal lengths, this lens is remarkably compact and
accepts 95mm filters. Its stylish design with signature Tamron tungsten silver finish
and elegant brand ring incorporates a sturdy tripod mount to enhance both stability and
ease of use.
Moisture-Resistant Construction.
Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture from penetrating the
lens.
