Capture family memories with the quality they deserve

A telephoto zoom for everyone
who treasures family memories

The new telephoto zoom from Tamron, designed
exclusively for digital SLR cameras,* is ideal for any­one who wants to capture truly dynamic telephoto
images. It goes far beyond the capabilities of the
standard zoom that comes with a digital SLR
camera. Lightweight and compact, this zoom lens
makes 300mm-equivalent telephoto power** acces­sible to everyone. Ideal for photos of family fun, sport
events, scenery, and portraiture, the lens naturally
creates a out-of-focus background that emphasizes
the main subject of your photo. It's perfect for captur­ing the happy faces of children as they play.

*With imagers 24mm x 16mm or smaller.
**This lens is equivalent to 85-310mm zoom when converted to
35mm film format.

Exclusive design for digital cameras
delivers quality you can count on

This lens provides outstanding optical per­formance over the entire zoom range with a
Low Dispersion glass element that minimizes
on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations, a critical
factor in enhancing the optical quality of digital
photography. Designed exclusively for digital
SLRs, it features Tamron's latest advanced tech­nologies, such as Internal Surface Coatings,*
to suppress flare and ghosting and reduce the

loss of peripheral light that often occurs with
digital imagers. This lens makes digital photog­raphy better than ever.

*Multiple-layer coatings between lens elements attached
to each other.

Intimate details, beautifully rendered

This telephoto zoom lens realizes a minimum focus
distance of 0.95m over the entire zoom range, for
genuine close-up photography (maximum magnifi­cation ratio of 1:3.5*). With its virtually circular,
nine-blade diaphragm design, the lens delivers
a beautifully smooth out-of-focus background.
Enjoy a great combination of telephoto and real
macro photography in a single lens.

*The MMR of 1:3.5 is equivalent to 1:2.3 on a 35mm camera.
