One lens brings all of life’s treasures into focus. Covering focal lengths from 18 to 200mm, this compact zoom allows you to take great shots in a wide variety of situations. Tamron introduces a lens made for capturing everyday life and special occasions with a smile. The 18-200mm VC is the culmination of our persistent efforts to perfect the high-power zoom lens category since 1992. This innovative lens is lightweight, high quality and ideal as a beginner’s first interchangeable lens – or a casual user’s only lens. Megazoom A lens from the megazoom class allows you to capture a much larger area. Megazooms offer focal lengths from wide angles down to the telephoto range and are thus the lens of choice for most situations. As a result of their high level of flexibility, compact size and low weight, these lenses are particularly suitable for daily use as an all-round lens, as well as for vacations, activities requiring little baggage or for families with children and all their gear in tow. VC (Vibration Compensation) for sharp handheld shooting. Shoot handheld in situations where others need a tripod. Telephoto and night shots are prone to camera shake, but VC works to keep photos sharp and clear. The VC Image Stabilizer delivers sharp and shake-free images, as well as a smooth viewfinder image. New high-performance AF drive module. A newly designed autofocus drive module with optimal DC motor-gear train integration makes AF faster, quieter and more precise.
