Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality
telephoto zoom lens with macro capability of 1:2 that can be used
with digital cameras. This new lens is a Di type lens using an
optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function
with digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras.
With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch
in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification
ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4",
enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects
that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens.
Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant
capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto
world. |
