Tamron is developing two new lenses: a 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro (Model B016) for APS-C sensor cameras and a 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD (Model A010) for full-frame sensor models. These lenses will be available in Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts. The Sony mount lenses will not incorporate Vibration Correction (VC) as Sony D-SLR camera bodies include built-in image stabilization.
The 16-300mm lens (equivalent to approximately 24.8-465mm in the 35mm format) will include 16 elements in 12 groups, have a Minimum Focus Distance (MFD) of 0.39m (15.3”) throughout the zoom range and offer a Maximum Magnification Ratio of 1:2.9 (at 300mm setting). The lens will weigh approximately 540g.
The 28-300mm lens, designed for fullframe sensor cameras, will include 19 elements in 15 groups, have a Minimum Focus Distance (MFD) of 0.49m (19.3”) throughout the zoom range and offer a Maximum Magnification Ratio of 1:3.5 (at300mm setting). The lens will weigh approximately 540g.
