Tamron A17

Tamron A17 ... telephoto zoom lens that already had a great reputation for being easy to use. The result? A Di series lens that now goes equally well with digital SLRs and 35mm film cameras. This flexible lens delivers digital photography up to a super-telephoto 465mm equivalent. Use it to zoom in ultra close, even for action shots of moving subjects such as sports participants or children running and playing.

Just flip the macro switch between the focal lengths of 180mm and 300mm, and you can enjoy true macro photography with a telephoto effect giving a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. The minimum focus distance is 1.5m from the subject in normal shooting ranges (Max. Mag. Ratio 1:3.9), but when you flip the macro switch, you can get as close as 95cm. And an added bonus - the nine-blade circular diaphragm provides beautiful soft-focus imagery for a professional result. Showcase all your photographic talent with close-up shots of small flowers and insects in parks or in the wild, or any other beautiful small object you discover.

Tamron's "Internal Surface Coatings" and the multiple-layer coating technology on ordinary elements reduce ghosting and flare that happens due to reflections that can occur when light enters the lens as well as reflections caused by the imager itself. The strictest quality control standards were also applied to increase resolution performance and prevent flare due to aberrations, resulting in a telephoto zoom lens ideal for photography with digital SLR cameras. This is the lens you can use with confidence.
