The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens for
Nikon is an expansive telephoto-zoom lens designed for both
full-frame and APS-C-sized image sensors. Its 4x zoom design covers standard
telephoto to super telephoto perspectives, making it ideally suited to working
with a wide variety of subject matter. Benefitting this range is VC (Vibration
Compensation) image stabilization, which helps to minimize the appearance of
camera shake to enable the use of longer shutter speeds or smaller apertures
when hand-holding in low-light conditions. A USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive)
autofocus motor provides quick and precise focusing performance, with high
torque, low response times, and quiet operation to benefit both still and video
applications. Additionally, a full-time manual focus mechanism enables manual
fine-tuning of focus at any point, even when the AF system is engaged.
The optical design integrates three low dispersion (LD) elements
within its construction to minimize optical aberrations throughout the zoom
range, particularly at the longer focal length positions. Individual elements
also feature an eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular Dependency) coating, as
well as a conventional BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating, in order to
reduce lens flare and ghosting to produce more contrast-rich and color-neutral
imagery.
- Expansive
telephoto-zoom lens is well-suited to nature, wildlife, and sports photography
and can be used on both full-frame and APS-C DSLR cameras.
- Three low dispersion
elements are integrated into the front group of the lens construction (two in
the first group, one in the third) to effectively compensate for on-axis
optical aberrations throughout the zoom range, notably with longer focal length
positions.
- eBAND and BBAR
coatings have been applied to lens elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting
in order to maintain high contrast, clarity and color fidelity.
- VC image
stabilization helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake to enable greater
hand-held shooting capabilities in low-light conditions.
- A USD autofocus
system provides quick, quiet, responsive and accurate focusing performance that
is suited to both still image and movie shooting.
- A full-time manual
focus mechanism allows for manual focusing at any time; even when working in AF
shooting modes.
- The optimized optical
design reduces the movement of lens groups during focusing and zooming in order
to maintain a relatively compact and lightweight form-factor.
- A redeveloped
external finish, with linear patterned zoom and focus rings, enhance the
overall handling of the lens as well as its cosmetic appearance.
- A nine-blade circular
diaphragm produces an aesthetic out-of-focus quality that is especially
beneficial when working with selective focus or shallow depth of field
techniques.
- A removable tripod
mount is included for use of the lens when working from a tripod.
- SILKYPIX Developer
Studio for Tamron software is included with the lens, which, aside from
enabling basic RAW processing and image adjustments, works to specifically
correct for chromatic aberrations of magnification, distortion, and peripheral
light fall-off using dedicated optical data from Tamron's SP-series of lenses.
