F/5-6.3 Di VC USD
SP 150-600mm
With proprietary Vibration Compensation system,
the new-look Tamron SP 150-600mm zoom keeps you primed for action.
Di (Digitally Integrated) lens designed for digital full-frame and APS-C/APS-H
sized SLR cameras. Comes with lens hood.
Compatible mounts: Canon, Nikon, Sony*
* The Sony mount does not include the VC image stabilization functionality, as the body of Sony digital
SLR cameras includes image stabilization functionality. Consequently, the name of the Sony mounted
lens does not include the VC description (SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di USD).

Zoom up to 600mm
for images that soar
Capture the power and beauty of wildlife, birds, travel destinations,
and exciting sports action close-ups with this high-performance
150 - 600mm long-range zoom. VC (Vibration Compensation) and
USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) enable you to shoot crisp images of
fast-moving, distant subjects handheld, while proprietary
Tamron optical technology, including eBAND Coating, works to
suppress are and ghosting for impressively clear, vibrant images.

DESIGN
Advanced optical technology
Three LD (Low Dispersion) elements are effectively
deployed to correct chromatic aberrations, a challenging
problem when shooting at long distances and at long
focal-length settings. Tamron‘s eBAND Coating and
BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reection) Coating help suppress
are and ghosting for class-leading image quality.
USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive)
The quiet high-torque USD motor ensures a speedy and
accurate autofocus response.
Built-in USD
Compact and stylish
While covering a very wide range of focal lengths, this
lens is remarkably compact and accepts 95mm lters.
Its stylish design with signature Tamron tungsten silver
nish and elegant brand ring incorporates a sturdy tripod
mount to enhance both stability and ease of use.
Moisture-resistant construction
Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture
from penetrating the lens.

New eBAND (Extended Bandwidth &
Angular-Dependency) Coating
This new coating technique developed by Tamron
deploys a nano-structured layer (1nm =
1/1,000,000mm) of ultra-low refractive index, with
dimensions smaller than the wavelengths of visible
rays of light. This nano-structured layer coupled with
the sophisticated multiple layer coatings underneath,
yields signicant anti-reection properties, efciently
reducing undesired are and ghosting to an absolute
minimum to deliver sharp, crisp images.

VC (Vibration Compensation)
VC (Vibration Compensation) is Tamron’s proprietary
image stabilization system. Tamron’s VC is a three-coil
system, whereby three driving coils activate the
shake-compensating VC lens group electromagnetically
via three ceramic ball bearings.
The VC lens elements are held in place only by contact
with the ceramic ball bearings, achieving smooth movement
with little friction. And since the VC mechanism is
moved in parallel using only the motorized control, the
mechanical structure has been simplied, enabling the
development of a more compact lens.
