2012 Tamron My Photo Exhibit

Limitless Possibilities!

The acclaimed Tamron 18-270mm VC ultra zoom is the lens without limitations. It’s ready for anything from dynamic wide-angle landscapes to telephoto action. Designed for APS-C-format DSLRs, the lens has reached an astonishing new level of compactness, performance and speed with the addition of PZD (PIEZO Drive), an innovative ultrasonic autofocus motor based on an advanced piezoelectric design. The result is a lens that’s considerably lighter, noticeably shorter and with a much slimmer profile than any previous lens in its class, and provides faster, quieter auto focusing.

Signature features that have made this amazingly versatile lens the world standard in its class have been retained. They include a 28-419mm equivalent (15X) zoom range, an improved, lightweight, compact Vibration Compensation (VC) system, macro focusing to 19.3 inches throughout and, of course, superlative imaging performance.
