Product Features

While maintaining the size of the Model A036, which has a reputation for being compact and easy to use, the lens has been redesigned from scratch and its optical system has been renewed to achieve even better descriptive performance. Model A063, a new regular-use lens suitable for the second-generation "G2

- Highest-level image quality in its class condensed into a compact body
The latest design, based on a complete review of the optical system from scratch, consists of 17 elements in 15 groups. By placing two special LD (Low Dispersion) lenses and two aspherical lenses in the optimum locations, the occurrence of various aberrations is minimized to the utmost limit. From the maximum aperture, the image quality of this lens is greatly improved compared to the original Model A036, and extremely high resolution performance can be obtained from all corners of the image across the entire zoom range. It also boasts a beautifully soft bokeh effect that can only be achieved with a restrained ball bokeh and a large aperture. The compact size of the A036, which is well known from the first-generation Model A036, offers high performance that can be used with high-end, ultra-high-pixel digital cameras.

- VXD for high-speed, high-precision AF
The VXD linear motor focus mechanism is used for AF drive. The high-speed, high-precision AF provides excellent responsiveness to the photographer's intent, enabling comfortable, stress-free focusing from minimum focusing distance to infinity, even with large-aperture lenses. Its AF speed is approximately twice (*1) faster than that of the original Model A036. It also has excellent focus tracking performance for moving objects, allowing you to capture important moments without missing them. The low motor noise and quiet operation also make it ideal for taking still images and movies in quiet environments.

- Minimum focusing distance of 0.18 m at the wide-angle end and maximum magnification of 1:2.7
The second-generation G2 Model A063 achieves a minimum focusing distance of 0.18m at the wide-angle end, exceeding the 0.19m minimum focusing distance of the first-generation Model A036. The working distance is only about 4.4cm. With a maximum magnification of 1:2.7, the lens can produce a powerful expression by capturing a large subject with a wide background, enabling wide-angle macro photography in which you can freely get close to the subject.

- New design improves operability
The second-generation G2 Model A063 features a new design that symbolizes the future of Tamron lenses. The shape of the zoom and focus rubbers has been changed to improve grip and operability. The deep gloss black coating on the exterior of the lens has improved scratch and abrasion resistance. In addition, fingerprints and other smudges are less noticeable. The zoom ring has improved rigidity and torque for smoother operation.
