Unleash the picture power of your digital SLR with this remarkable new compact, lightweight all-in-one zoom lens. Covering an impressive 10.7x, wide-to-long-telephoto zoom range on both full-frame and APS-C format digital SLRs it gets down to an incredible 49cm at 300mm in Macro mode for dramatic frame-filling close-ups. Optimising its outstanding real-world image quality is Tamron's built-in high-tech, state-of-the-art VC (Vibration Compensation) system.

The cutting-edge 18-element 13-group design of the 28-300mm VC lens incorporates XR (extra refractive-index), LD (low dispersion) and AD (anomalous dispersion) glass as well as hybrid and glass molded aspherical elements to deliver exquisite sharpness and colour correction over its extended range. The Di (Digitally Integrated) designation is Tamron's assurance of optimal digital and analogue imaging performance. Capturing razor-sharp handheld images just got a whole lot easier and better.

This lens covers a tremendous range of focal lengths – on a full-size format SLR camera, the range is from 28mm wideangle to 300mm ultra-telephoto. When mounted on a DSLR with an APS-C sized imager, it covers a 43mm wide angle to 465mm equivalent ultra-telephoto* (full-size format equivalent, in a diagonal angle of view of 5°20').
