High power zoom lens

Maxwell International Australia has unveiled a unique ultra high power zoom lens for digital SLRs.

The Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO (Model B003), is the first1 digital SLR lens in the world that delivers a zoom ratio of 15X (28-419mm equivalent) while also featuring a highly effective Vibration Compensation (VC) system for clearer images. Designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with APS-C sized image sensors, the new Tamron lens delivers outstanding image quality over its entire zoom range and its exclusive VC anti-shake system facilitates sharp and clear handheld photography even at the longest telephoto settings.

With its vast zoom-range, the Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC lens enables the user to cover virtually any photographic subject from wide angle to ultra telephoto, simply by zooming the lens to the required position. It covers angles of view equivalent to 28mm to 419mm when converted to 35mm film format2.

In addition, this breakthrough lens is equipped with Tamron’s exclusive, proprietary tri-axial Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism, eliminating or substantially reducing the effects of handheld camera shake. As a result, the user can enjoy the convenience of handheld photography in virtually any situation, from shooting candid images, to covering sporting events, to news photography, without worrying about camera shake having an adverse effect on image quality.
The new lens is available in Canon and Nikon mounts.

Di II (Digitally integrated) lenses employ optical systems designed for exclusive use on digital SLR cameras equipped with smaller sized (APS-C sized) image sensors. Di II lenses are not designed for use with 35mm film cameras or digital SLR cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm.

It is available for $A969.
