14 DAY TRIAL // Renowned Nippon optics manufacturer Tamron has announced today that it's working on two new superzoom lenses designed for APS-C and full-frame digital SLR cameras.
While previously we talked about the Tamron 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO lens for APS-C format cameras, it's time to take a look at the newly introduced 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD designed for full-frame shooters.
The aforementioned optic is quite similar with the current AF 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro lens, but it comes with Tamron's PZD (Piezo Drive) ultrasonic motor AF system and a more compact, moisture-resistant body.
The new lens features a complex construction with 19 elements in 15 groups, including four Low Dispersion (LD) glass elements, three Molded-Glass Aspherical elements, one Hybrid Aspherical element, one XR and one UXR glass elements designed to efficiently minimize chromatic aberrations, flare, and ghosting, and to make the optic as lightweight and compact as possible.
Tamron 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD will be compatible with Nikon, Canon, and Sony mounts. Pricing and availability are yet to be announced.
