Product Description

Thanks to the unique Tamron Adaptall-2 adapter system, if you're the owner of pretty well any manual focus SLR camera, then it's almost certain you can buy a Tamron lens to fit it.Literally dozens of Adaptall-2 camera adapters are available one of which will make the lens fit your camera just as if it had been produced by the camera manufacturer - there really are very few SLRs for which there lis no adapter.You'll normally find that every function you can achieve with the camera manufacturer's own lenses will work in exactly the same way with a Tamron lens. The difference is that should you choose to start using another brand of manual focus SLR, then all you need to change with your Tamron lenses is the Adaptall-2 adapter mount. So you won't have to part exchange your lenses and lose money on them!In addition to our manual focus zoom and prime lenses, we also manufacture two models of 2 times SP tele converter. The F-system model is designed to fit specific camera models, Pentax K, Nikon AI, Canon FD, Minolt MD, Olympus OM, Konica AR, Contax/Yashica and Praktica/Pentax ES. The SP interchangeable mount system adapter fits between your Tamron lens and the Adaptall-2 mount, so it too will be useful should you change your camera system. ... Read more

Tamron SP AF28-75MM F/2.8 Lens
The most compact and lightest in the history of fast zoom lenses. Thanks to therevolutionary downsizing "XR" technology employed by Tamron in the developmentof high-power zoom lenses such as the 28-200mm and 28-300mm, the dramatic compactnessthat makes this lens the world's smallest and lightest is achieved. Its compactnessmakes it look and feel like an ordinary standard zoom lens, yet the versatilitythat a fast constant maximum aperture offers will definitely reshape your photographichorizons.

Outstanding Value and Performance.
I have purchased two of these lenses (autofocus version) for our Nikon N-70. I dropped the first lens and something came loose. This is a superb lens. I studied the Modern Photography Magazine ratings to select this lens, which was/is the sharpest zoom lens in the 20-120 range. Not even Nikon or Canon can beat this lens for sharpness across the focal range. Spherical Aberration is marginally higher than an average lens with this focal range, so you wouldn't want to shoot professional architecture photos with this lens. Tamron makes a semi-pro lens with an F-2.8 across a similar zoom range, but it is no sharper than this lens.

Product Description

Dedicated for Digital SLR CamerasThrough the employment of an optical design for exclusive use with digital (APS-C) SLR cameras, an ultra wideangle zoom lens with a focal length equivalent to a 17-28mm when converted to that of a 35mm full size film camera lens has been realized. Using this lens along with the digital SLR-dedicated AF18-200mm zoom lens introduced by Tamron simultaneously, you can enjoy creative digital SLR photography with a wide choice of angles of view. Features an Optical System Optimized for Characteristics of Digital CamerasIn order to achieve outstanding optical quality, the optical system uses one element of HID (High Index/High Dispersion glass) to compensate for comatic and spherical aberrations; one LD (Low Dispersion) glass element to minimize on-axis (longitudinal) and off-axis (lateral) chromatic aberrations that are the greatest hindrance to high optical quality; one high-precision, large clear aperture, glass-molded aspherical element and two hybrid aspherical elements to thoroughly compensate for spherical and chromatic aberrations and distortion. Optical Design Dedicated to Digital SLR Photography by Optimizing the Angles of Incidences of Light Rays Reaching the ImagerThe zoom lens uses a new optical system designed to confine the changing angles of incidences of light rays reaching the imager within a certain scope over the entire image field from the center to the periphery, by considering the effects of variances due to zooming. Enhanced Peripheral IlluminationPeripheral light fall-off is minimized when compared with that of conventional lenses for film cameras so that images are uniformly bright from the center to the periphery. Outstanding ResolutionSince the lens is designed exclusively for digital SLR photography, it provides high image quality in terms of resolution, contrast and flatness of image field.Internal S ...

Product Description

The world's smallest, most lightweight 28-200mm high magnification zoom lens. With a minimum focal distance over the entire zoom area of 49cm, and a maximum magnification of 1:4 (at 200mm), this remarkable lens achieves high magnification zoom performance with the compact size of a standard zoom lens. Through XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass and efficient use of aspherical lenses, Tamron has achieved a 25% reduction in size and a 27% reduction in weight over the previous model (Model 371D), along with a decrease in filter diameter by two-steps °72mm- °62mm) without compromising the superior image quality characteristic of Tamron 28-200 lenses.The first most important reason that the lens is so compact is the use of high refractive index glass. That is, XR Glass. High refractive index glass bends light more than normal or lower refractive index glasses. Normally, glass material having a refractive index of more than 1.69 is called high refractive index glass. In the A03 optical system, glass material having a refractive index of more than 1.69 is used in the first group. In addition, refractive index of the whole optical system is enhanced. By using high refractive index glass in the first group, we could make the elements in the first group thinner, and reduce one element in the second group. This made the overall length of the whole optical system shorter. Now, with a shorter optical system, the distance from the diaphragm to the front surface of the objective le ... Read more
