Advanced optical and mechanical design
technology achieve high image quality in
a compact, lightweight zoom
The cutting-edge lens design consists of 16 elements in 12
groups and includes three Molded-Glass Aspherical elements,
two LD (Low Dispersion) elements and UXR (Ultra-Extra Re
fractive Index) glass. Together, they correct optical aberrations,
while state-of-the-art multi-layer coating signicantly minimizes
ghosting and are to deliver images of exceptional clarity. The
entire package is kept incredibly compact through the use of
advanced mechanical design engineering.
Elegant new style
The rubber grips on the zoom and focus rings have a
rectilinear grid pattern that adds sophistication to the
design, while the signature Tamron brand ring in tungsten
silver enhances its luxurious nish.
Moisture-resistant construction
Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture
from penetrating the lens.

VC (Vibration Compensation)
VC (Vibration Compensation) is Tamron’s proprietary image
stabilization system. It employs three driving coils that electromagnetically activate a shake-compensating VC lens group.
Since the VC lens elements are held in place only by three
ceramic ball bearings, there is smooth movement with little
friction. Even when shooting long-range or under low light, the
viewnder image remains stable and the tracking response is
excellent.

PZD (Piezo Drive) for faster, quieter
autofocus action
The PZD (Plezo Drive) provides noticeably faster, quieter autofocus action, allowing users to capture spontaneous moments
in crisp images and to continue to shoot even when quiet
operation is required. The full-time manual focus system
ables ne focus adjustments to be made during autofocus
shooting whhout having to change the focus mode beforehand.
