Tamron Di VC VXD Lens for Canon RF Mount 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 III-A [B061R]

[Best-in-class speed and precision AF, never miss the decisive moment] Tamron's proprietary VXD linear motor focus mechanism is used for the AF drive. It combines the highest levels of speed, precision, and responsiveness of any high-magnification zoom lens, allowing you to comfortably focus from the minimum focusing distance to infinity, even at the super-telephoto 300mm (equivalent to 450mm in 35mm format). It also boasts exceptional focus tracking, ensuring you'll never miss a decisive moment, even when photographing insects, animals, or vehicles. As for quiet operation, the motor's drive noise is low because the focusing lens group is driven directly, without any gears, making it ideal for still photography and video shooting in quiet environments. [An astonishing maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 for a high-magnification zoom lens] The Model B061 boasts outstanding close-up shooting capabilities that defy conventional wisdom for high-magnification zoom lenses. At the wide-angle end of 18mm, it achieves a minimum focusing distance of 0.15m and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. The working distance is also an astonishing 5mm*, allowing you to get as close as possible to your subject while simultaneously capturing the background, a feat unique to wide-macro photography. *At a minimum focusing distance of 0.15m (wide-angle end), the distance between the subject and the front of the lens is approximately 5mm. Enjoy your shots without letting your subject come into contact with the front element of the lens. [Uncompromising optical performance throughout the entire zoom range] This lens is a high-magnification zoom lens that focuses on image quality. The lavish use of special glass materials, including four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements and three hybrid aspherical lens elements, ensures beautiful images from the center to the edges of the image. Chromatic aberration and other aberrations are significantly reduced. Furthermore, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating thoroughly suppresses ghosting and flare, which often occur when shooting in backlight. This lens combines high image quality with soft bokeh throughout the entire zoom range. [Equipped with Tamron's proprietary VC image stabilization] This lens is equipped with Tamron's proprietary VC image stabilization to suppress blurring that tends to occur at the telephoto range. It demonstrates its capabilities even when shooting handheld in low light, such as in dimly lit rooms or at night, effectively reducing degradation of image quality. Furthermore, by utilizing AI (artificial intelligence) technology, it is possible to obtain correction effects that take video shooting into consideration at focal lengths of 70mm and below. Focal length: 18-300mm (equivalent to 28.8-480mm in 35mm format) / Angle of view (diagonal): 73°49' - 5°10' (when used with an APS-C mirrorless camera) / Lens construction: 19 elements in 15 groups / Minimum focusing distance: 0.15m (WIDE) / 0.99m (TELE) / Maximum magnification ratio: 1:2 (WIDE) / 1:4 (TELE) / Image stabilization: Yes / Filter diameter: Φ67mm / Maximum diameter: φ75.5mm / Length: 123.6mm / Weight: 625g / Aperture blades: 7 (circular aperture) / Minimum aperture: F22-40 / Standard accessories: Flower-shaped hood, lens cap / Compatible mount: Canon RF mount The lens' greatest feature is its 16.6x zoom ratio, the world's first for an APS-C mirrorless lens. Its focal length range covers 18-300mm (equivalent to 27-450mm in 35mm format). From ultra-telephoto shots that take advantage of the zoom effect to wide-angle shots capturing expansive landscapes, this single lens offers a wide range of photographic possibilities. Its extremely compact design, weighing approximately 620g, and φ67mm filter diameter, the same as many of Tamron's mirrorless lens series, make it easy to handle and capture any situation.
