Tamron Announces Two New Lenses: AF 28-300mm VC and SP AF 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO
28-300mm
28-75mm
May 15, 2008, Commack, NY Tamron USA, Inc. announced release of the AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO, a high power zoom lens compatible with full-size SLR cameras, now features a built-in AF motor for use with Nikon DSLRs (Model A20NII) and featuring Tamrons proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism.
The company also launched the popular SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO, a lightweight, compact and fast standard zoom lens compatible with full-size SLR cameras, now equipped with a built-in AF motor for use with Nikon cameras (model A09NII). The award-winning SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO zoom lens is a lightweight and compact standard zoom lens compatible with full-size SLR cameras and features a fast maximum aperture of F/2.8 that is constant over the entire zoom range. The lens enables users to enjoy the creative world of SLR photography by exploiting the attractive out-of-focus effect particular to fast maximum aperture lenses seen in portraiture or when using high shutter speeds. Since its introduction in October 2007, Tamrons AF28-300mm VC zoom lens has been highly evaluated by many photographers the world over as a compact and high power zoom lens providing a 4-stop shutter speed advantage when VC is turned on. The lens covers an angle of view equivalent to that of a 465mm ultra telephoto lens when mounted on a digital SLR camera equipped with an APS-C size image sensor. The ultra telephoto range is one where Tamrons proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism exhibits its compensation performance to the maximum extent. The lens enables the user to enjoy ultra telephotography with amazingly stabilized viewfinder images. Covering an angle of view equivalent to 43mm at its wideangle end, the lens lets the user respond to a wider variety of scenes than do tele-zoom lenses in the 70-300mm class. The AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC (IF) MACRO is a compact and high power zoom lens that can be used as a standard zoom. It allows not only the users of conventional film SLR cameras and full frame DSLRs, but also owners of digital SLR cameras equipped with APS-C sized image sensors to comfortably enjoy SLR photography with 465mm-equivalent ultra telephoto without hand shake.
