Di Design

Digitally Integrated is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed To meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. By employing "Internal Surface Coatings" and multiple-layer coating technology on ordinary elements, ghosting and flare due To reflections that occur when light enters through the front element and reflections caused by the imagers themselves are reduced To the absolute minimum.

Macro Effect of 1:2 in Telephoto Zoom Range

Flipping a macro switch in the focal length Range of 180mm To 300mm allows entry into the macro Range, for photography as close as 1.6' (95cm) from the subject. In the macro Range, one can take advantage of the telephoto effect and a maximum magnification ratio up To 1:2. In addition, since the focal length in the macro Range spans from 180mm To 300mm, zooming can also be used To adjust composition.

LD Glass

LD glass elements reduce various aberrations while minimizing the fall-off of light at the corners.
