The new telephoto zoom from Tamron, designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras, is ideal for anyone who wants to capture truly dynamic telephoto images. It goes far beyond the capabilities of the standard zoom that comes with a digital SLR camera. Ideal for photos of family fun, sport events, scenery, and portraiture, the lens naturally creates a out-of-focus background that emphasizes the main subject of your photo. For use with digital cameras only.Popular-type Tele-zoom for
Exclusive Use on Digital SLR Cameras
This is a telephoto zoom for
exclusive use on digital SLR cameras that covers the focal length range
equivalent to 85-310mm when converted to a 35mm format. The lens will allow
owners of digital SLRs fitted with standard zoom lenses to enjoy with ease
the professional-looking “pulling” and “compression”
effects particular to telephoto lenses.
Lightweight and Compact Design Thanks to Optical System for Exclusive
Use on Digital Cameras
Since the optical system is designed for
exclusive use on digital cameras, the image circle is smaller, resulting
in a compact package measuring 83.0mm (3.3”), accepting a 52mm standard
filter and weighing a mere 300 grams (10.6oz.)
Revolutionary Minimum Focus Distance of 0.95m (37.4”) for
1:3.5 Macro Capability over the Entire Zoom Range
The new 55-200mm
zoom lens realizes an MFD (Minimum Focus Distance) of 0.95m (37.4”)
over the entire zoom range, the top level of the closest focusing distance
among tele-zoom lenses. Since the maximum magnification ratio at f=200mm
is 1:3.5, you can enjoy easy and convenient close-up photography.
Nine-blade Diaphragm Construction for Natural Out-of-focus Effect
Since the lens employs a nine-blade almost circular diaphragm construction,
it provides naturally blurred background effects when a natural out-of-focus
effect is desired. Such effects are done by using the shallow depth of field
of a telephoto lens or in close-up photography, exploiting the outstanding
specifications of 0.95m MFD over the entire zoom range and 1:3.5 maximum
magnification ratio.
Optical System Uses Special Glass and is Optimised for Digital SLR
Characteristics in order to Enhance Optical Quality in a Compact Design
The new AF55-200mm zoom lens features an entirely new optical design
for optimising the overall distribution of optical power while reducing
various aberrations to the absolute minimum and achieving remarkable downsizing
at the same time. In addition, an LD (Low Dispersion) glass element is used
to accomplish effective compensation of on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations,
a critical factor to enhance the optical quality in digital photography.
As a result, the lens provides outstanding optical performance over the
entire zoom range.
Optical Design Dedicated to Digital SLR Photography by Optimising
the Angles of Incidence of Light Rays Reaching the Image Sensor
The
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 by considering the effects of variances due to zooming.
Enhanced Peripheral Illumination
Peripheral light fall-off
is minimised when compared with that of conventional lenses for film cameras,
so images are uniformly bright from the centre to the periphery.
Outstanding Resolution
Since the lens is designed exclusively
for digital SLR photography, it provides high image quality resolution,
contrast and flatness of image field.
Internal Surface Coating to Reduce Ghosting and Flare
By the employment of “Internal Surface Coatings” (i.e., multiple-layer
coatings on cemented surfaces of plural elements) and new 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.
New External Design on the New Di II Series Conveys High Performance,
High Precision Image”
Improvements have been made to the
external design by adding a gold-coloured band between the focus and zoom
rings to enhance the appearance and make it stand out as a Di-II lens. The
rubber patterns of the zoom and focus control rings have been improved at
the same time to compliment the digital camera design style and to provide
better handling.
Super Hybrid Mount for High Durability and Lightweight Design:
The
lens features a super hybrid mount made of highly durable, lightweight engineering
plastic precisely molded around a stainless steel “core” that
is also highly durable. The lens mount portion weighs 70% less than a brass-made
mount.
