Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical MACRO Zoom Lens for Nikon

The Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro ultra high power Zoom Lens is the first Digital SLR lens in the world that delivers a remarkable zoom ratio of 15x (28-419mm equivalent). Designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with APS-C sized image sensors, it delivers outstanding image quality over its entire zoom range and its exclusive VC anti-shake system facilitates sharp handheld photography even at the longest telephoto settings. With its vast zoom-range, the Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC lens enables the User to cover virtually any photographic subject from wide angle to ultra telephoto simply by turning the zoom control. It covers angles of view equivalent to 28mm to 419mm when converted to the 35mm format. This breakthrough lens is equipped with Tamron's tri-axial Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism that eliminates or substantially reduces the effects of handheld camera shake (on certain SLR camera models). The AF18-270mm Di II VC allows close focusing down to 0.49m (20") from the subject over the entire zoom range even though it incorporates the VC mechanism. The maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.5 at its 270mm telephoto end is the top class capability among high power zoom lenses exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. Optical system is optimized for digital SLR cameras by taking incident rays of light reaching the image sensor into consideration. In order to effectively compensate for changes in aberrations due to zooming, the zoom lens employs an innovative optical system that is designed to converge the angles of rays of light entering from the center to the periphery of the lens. The light rays thus reach the image sensor within a defined circle that assures high imaging performance and reduces light falloff.
