Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

- World's first(*1) 16.6x high-power zoom lens covering the ultra-telephoto range
The most significant feature of the Model B061 is that it is the world's first(*1) 16.6x zoom lens for APS-C size mirrorless SLR cameras, with a focal length equivalent to 27-450mm in 35mm format. This wide focal range makes it possible to maximize the use of this lens for a variety of scenes, from daily life to snapshots on a trip, dynamic landscape photography using the ultra-telephoto, and macro photography.

- Equipped with VXD, the highest level of high-speed, high-precision AF in its class
The Model B061 is equipped with Tamron's proprietary VXD linear motor focus mechanism. It delivers the highest AF speed and precision in its class as an all-in-one zoom lens, enabling stress-free and comfortable focusing in all focal ranges from wide-angle to telephoto. It also offers excellent focus tracking performance for moving subjects, making it ideal for shooting animals, airplanes, and trains. It is also very quiet, making it ideal for still and moving image shooting in quiet environments.

- Minimum focusing distance of 0.15m at the wide-angle end (18mm) and maximum magnification of 1:2
The Model B061 achieves amazing close-up shooting performance for an all-in-one zoom lens (minimum shooting distance of 0.15m(*2) at 18mm at the wide-angle end, maximum magnification of 1:2). This allows the photographer to enjoy the freedom to boldly move in close to the subject and create images with a large blurred background, which is characteristic of macro photography. Tamron, the "pioneer of high-power zoom lenses," also offers overwhelming originality in close-up photography.

*2: At the minimum focusing distance of 0.15 m (18 mm at the wide-angle end), the distance between the subject and the tip of the lens is approximately 5 mm. Please make sure that the subject does not come into contact with the front element of the lens.

- Highest Image Quality in its Class
To achieve both a 16.6x zoom ratio and high image quality, three compound aspherical lenses and four LD (Low Dispersion) lenses are arranged in a balanced manner to effectively suppress lens aberrations. The lens maintains high resolution throughout the entire zoom range, from the center to the periphery of the image, and achieves top-level image quality in its class as a high-magnification zoom lens for APS-C size mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras.

- VC image stabilization mechanism
The Model B061 is equipped with Tamron's unique VC image stabilization mechanism while maintaining its compact size. Regardless of whether the camera has an in-body image stabilization mechanism or not, the VC mechanism on this lens effectively suppresses camera shake, which tends to occur in low-light conditions such as indoors and night scenes. In addition, by utilizing AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology, the lens can also provide a correction effect that takes movie shooting into consideration at focal lengths of 70mm or less.

- Compact design

- Simple drip-proof construction, anti-smudge coating, and zoom lock switch mechanism to support comfortable shooting

- Compatible with various camera functions, such as "Fast Hybrid AF" and "Pupil AF," which are available on Sony cameras
