* 11.1x zoom yields 28-300mm range on digital cameras
* When converted to 35mm format
From snapshots at 28mm-equivalent wide-angle to 300mm-equivalent ultra telephoto for distant landscapes, and from close-up shots of flowers to portraiture of distant subjects, one single 11.1X zoom lens covers all your photographic needs. With this 11.1X versatile zoom lens in your bag, you can enjoy upbeat, stress-free photography without changing lenses.
Optimum Optical System Designed to Reach Digital SLR Cameras' Greatest Potential
Outstanding Resolution for High Quality Digital Images
This lens is exclusively designed for digital SLR photography, and provides high quality digital photos with its outstanding resolution and contrast.
Abundance of Special Glass Materials
Tamron uses special glass materials to achieve high quality digital images. The LD (Low Dispersion) glass minimizes "on-axis aberration" that degrades the sharpness in telephotography and "lateral chromatic aberration", an image degrading factor in wide-angle photography. In addition, large hybrid aspherical elements are used to compensate distortion.
Systematic Countermeasures against Ghosting and Flare with New Technologies
Ghosting and flare caused by aberrations are annoying factors in digital SLR photography, so Tamron has adopted various countermeasures against the problem including the employment of "Internal Surface Coatings" (i.e., multiple-layer coatings on cemented surfaces of plural elements) and new multiple-layer coating technology on ordinary elements in order to minimize reflections that occur when light enters through the front element and to reduce image degrading effects caused by the imagers themselves.

Lightweight and Compact Design for Excellent Portability
Excellent portability and ease of use are assured with the compact, lightweight design from Tamron's original technologies accumulated as the pioneer of high power zoom lenses. The employment of Tamron's "XR" design, the key technology for downsizing high power zoom lenses, has resulted in a zoom lens that is as compact and lightweight as Tamron's acclaimed 28-300mm Di *.

Since the size of 35mm lm format is different from the image sensor of a digital camera, scopes captured are different even when focal lengths are the same (i.e., angles of view differ).

Designed to t smaller-size imagers in order to reduce its diameter
Attempts to design shorter focal lengths inevitably result in a larger lens diameter. Tamron has solved this problem by designing the size of the lens image circle to match that of smaller-size image sensors. In the compact design, it is almost comparable to a lens offering the same angles of view in 35mm lm format. *When pictures are taken with a Di-II lens mounted on a 35mm lm camera, image corners become dark (ie., vignetting becomes noticeable).
