The Tamron AF 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DiIII-A VC VXD - Sony E APS-C Black is a versatile superzoom ideal for photographers who want an all-rounder that covers virtually any shooting situation. Characterized for its 16.6x zoom ratio and a minimum focus distance of only 0.15m at the 18mm wide end and a remarkable maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, this lens performs astonishingly well when shooting up close with the benefits of a versatile all-in-one zoom lens ideal for an extensive array of photographic scenarios..
A fast and precise autofocus mechanism, Tamron's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, provides it with some of the best performance in its class, and it's aided by the proprietary Vibration Compensation system that supports stable photography even at ultra-telephoto focal lengths. The lens includes special lens elements arranged precisely to maintain high resolution performance from edge-to-edge and provide high image quality making it the best of all all-in-one zoom lenses.
The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD is the world's first lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with a 16.6x zoom ratio covering wide angle to an ultra-telephoto range with a full-frame equivalent focal length range of 27mm to 450mm. Its broad coverage, empowers shooting in a wide variety of situations, including everyday life and travel snapshots, both wide-angle and dynamic ultra-telephoto landscape photography and even macro photography.
As one of the best-performing all-in-one zoom lenses for APS-C mirrorless cameras this lens features a well-balanced arrangement of three hybrid aspherical elements and four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements to effectively suppress optical aberrations. Throughout the zoom range, it maintains high resolving power from the center to the corners.
Autofocus speed and precision stands among the best of all all-in-one zoom lenses using TAMRON's proprietary VXD linear motor focus mechanism. Throughout its range, from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto, this lens provides precise AF shooting you can rely on. It is also extremely quiet, and therefore perfectly suited for both still and video shooting in conditions that demand silent operation.
With an MOD of 0.15m at the 18mm wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD performs amazingly well when shooting up close compared to other all-in-one zoom lenses. Enabling you to enjoy creative macro photography with highly blurred backgrounds, a feature unique to macro photography.
*When shooting at the MOD of 0.15m (at the wide end 18mm), the distance between the subject and the tip of lens is approximately 5mm. Please use precaution so that the front element does not touch the subject when shooting at MOD.
Despite its compact size, the lens is equipped with TAMRON's proprietary VC mechanism. With or without image stabilization in the camera body, the VC included in this lens effectively mitigates camera shake that is likely to occur in low-light conditions indoors and at night. Furthermore, using AI technologies, the lens will choose the compensation characteristic for videography at focal lengths of 70mm or less.
