Tamron has announced a new premium telephoto lens, the SP AF70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD (Model A005), featuring image stabilization and an ultrasonic autofocus drive. The announcement coincides with Tamron’s 60th anniversary.
The new telephoto zoom lens is designed for digital SLR cameras and can be used with both full-frame sensor as well as AF 35mm film cameras with a zoom range of 70-300mm; and with APS-C sensor cameras where the angle of view will change the zoom range equal to 109-465mm.
The new lens has been produced first for the Nikon mount, with the development of compatible mounts for Canon and Sony. Price and availability of the new telephoto lens will be announced later.
