Outstanding performance across the entire zoom range

The 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC features an optical construction of 20 elements in 13 groups to deliver high image quality and high resolution. Because of an optical design that includes one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and one LD (Low Dispersion) special lens element, chromatic aberration and other artifacts are efficiently controlled. As an all-in-one zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, the lens boasts class-leading high image quality. This lens features TAMRON’s BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating to suppress ghosting and flare, producing distinct, clear images even in backlit conditions. These features support the free creation of works that are not influenced by shooting position.

Surprisingly compact and lightweight zoom with a powerful 10.7x range

Despite covering a wide range of focal lengths from 28mm at the wide end to 300mm at the telephoto end (10.7x zoom overall), the 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is portable with a length of just 126mm (5in) and a light weight of 610g (21.5oz). This lens is also recommended for those who want to keep their bag small and lightweight, as the lens is easy to take with you, even as a second lens, wherever you go and does not tire you out after long periods of shooting. In addition, users can enjoy wide macro photography with an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5in) at the 28mm wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8, making this lens extremely versatile. Furthermore, the lens makes it easy to frame accurately when shooting still and moving images while zooming in and out, such as sports and wildlife, and is designed to be comfortable to use.

Equipped with high-speed, high-precision AF to expertly capture both near and distant subjects

To ensure smooth and speedy focusing across the 10.7x zoom range, the 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is equipped with TAMRON’s linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive). The fastest and most accurate AF in TAMRON’s history overturns the stereotype of all-in-one zoom lenses having slow autofocus and is optimized to assure that users do not miss good photo opportunities. As the lens is extremely quiet and features excellent focus tracking for moving objects, it performs well when shooting both still images and video in a broad range of situations, including conditions that require silence, moving subjects such as sports activities, airplane, wild birds—the list goes on and on. With this one versatile lens, you are ready to handle an extraordinarily wide range of shooting situations with ease.

TAMRON’s proprietary VC suppresses camera shake to provide stability in shooting

Despite its compact size, the 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is equipped with TAMRON’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism to ensure steady shooting. This effectively suppresses the camera shake that is likely to occur when shooting in the telephoto range or under low-light conditions. Users can enjoy stable shooting at telephoto ranges of up to 300mm without a tripod. Additionally, at focal lengths up to 100mm, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are applied to provide vibration compensation with videography in mind.
