This EISA award-winning lens from Tamron is a high power ultra light and compact lens that covers a full wide angle to ultra telephoto range. This makes it ideal for 'single' lens use so often needed during excursions. It is equally at home on 35mm or digital SLR s and offers a 1:2.9 magnification at 300mm for macro use and close focusing down to 19.3 inches throughout the entire zoom range. It is quite simply a feat of Japanese optical engineering!
