SAMPLE IMAGES

Experience amazing focal length range and exceptional optical performance:
Introducing the world's first ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom with a focal length range of 18mm to 400mm. Now you can shoot everything from vast landscapes to the details on a bird with a single lens. The latest optical design includes elements such as LD (Low Dispersion) glass and aspherical lens. Moreover, problems like chromatic aberration and distortion are controlled throughout the entire zoom range, resulting in sharp, superior images -- whether you're shooting at wide-angle or telephoto. The lens also features a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9 so you can enjoy tele-macro photography.

620mm capability, compact size:
Until now, shooting at ultra-telephoto ranges meant carrying large interchangeable lenses. Thanks to the all-in-one zoom technology developed by Tamron, you can travel with a single lens that's 4.8 in. (12.2cm) long and weighs only 24.9 oz. (706g). Experience the thrill of shooting with compact equipment that makes it easy to capture ultra-telephoto images.

Highly precise, conveniently compact:
Tamron's exclusive HLD (High/Low torque-modulated Drive) saves power while providing superior drive. It focuses accurately and quietly while adjusting the motor's rotation from low to high speeds, enabling smooth autofocusing. HLD let us design a space-saving AF module, for a sleeker barrel and reduced overall lens size.

Sharp, solid telephoto shots:
Tamron's VC (Vibration Compensation) technology stabilizes the image in the viewfinder, so you can frame your subject and shoot a sharp image?even at ultra-telephoto ranges and in poorly lit conditions.

Tamron wows the world again with our ultra-telephoto all-in-one-zoom:
In 1992, all-in-one zoom lenses were known for their heavy weight, bulky size and mediocre performance. Tamron revolutionized the industry by creating a lightweight, compact, high-performance "all-in-one zoom lens" that was perfect for everyday use. It launched to worldwide acclaim, cementing Tamron's role as a pioneer in the "all-in-one zoom lens" category. Whereas the zoom magnification was 7.1x in 1992, it has increased to 22.2x for the Model B028 which is the world's first* to achieve 400mm at the telephoto end. With its advanced optical system, compact lens barrel, high-precision cam configurations and VC, the B028 introduces the next level of Tamron innovation: the "ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom lens."

Moisture-Resistant Construction protects your lens:
For greater protection when shooting outdoors, leak-proof seals throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment.

Electromagnetic diaphragm system:
An electromagnetic diaphragm system, a standard feature for Canon-mount lenses, provides precise diaphragm and aperture control.

Compatible with the TAP-in Console:
The optional TAP-in Console provides a USB connection to your personal computer, enabling you to easily update your lens's firmware as well as customize features including fine adjustments to the AF and VC.

Three cams, one smooth zoom:
This ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom includes an all-new barrel design. By distributing complex movements across three cams, Tamron has ensured that all zoom extensions are smooth and easy.

Filters Included:

Ultraviolet UV Filter
Ultraviolet UV Filters are multi-purpose filters that absorb ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct, and should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide protection to your lens.

Circular Polarizing (CPL) Filter
Circular Polarizing (CPL) Filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, as well as improve color saturation, clarity and contrast. This threaded filter is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, for example. Polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot, and they will provide protection for your lens while shooting.

Neutral Density (ND) Filter
Neutral Density filter reduces intensity of all wavelengths or colors of light equally, giving no changes in hue or color rendition. ND filters are particularly useful reducing depth of field in very bright light. ND8 allows 1/8 of available light into the lens (3 f-stops).
