The world’s first 16.6x all-in-one zoom lens for Fujifilm APS-C mirrorless cameras

This is world's first mega zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with a 16.6x zoom ratio, the greatest feature of this lens, covering wide angle to an ultra-telephoto range.

Best-in-class, extremely fast and precise AF provided by Tamron's VXD linear motor focus mechanism

The 18-300 mm lens utilizes Tamron's proprietary VXD linear motor focus mechanism. It achieves AF speed and precision that stand among the best of all all-in-one zoom lenses. Throughout its range, from wide-angle to ultra tele photo, it provides precise AF shooting. Excellent when tracking a moving subject in focus, it is ideal when photographing animals, aircraft, railways, and other moving subjects. It’s extremely quiet, and therefore perfectly suited for both still and video shooting in conditions that demand silent operation.

MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15 m (5.9 in) and maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at wide end

With an MOD of 0.15 m (5.9 in) at the 18 mm wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, this lens performs amazingly well when shooting up close compared to other all-in-one zoom lenses3. It enables users to enjoy creative macrophotography with highly blurred backgrounds, a feature unique to macrophotography. As a pioneer in all-in-one zoom lenses, Tamron demonstrates unmatched originality in close-up shots.

The best image quality in its class

In terms of image quality, this new Tamron is one of the best-performing all-in-one zoom lenses for APS-C mirrorless cameras. To achieve a zoom ratio of 16.6x while ensuring high image quality, the lens features a well-balanced arrangement of three hybrid aspherical elements and four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements to effectively suppress optical aberrations. Throughout the zoom range, it maintains high resolving power from the centre to the corners.

Outstanding VC stabilisation

Despite its compact size, the lens uses Tamron's proprietary VC mechanism. With or without image stabilization in the camera body, the VC included in this lens effectively mitigates camera shake that is likely to occur in low-light conditions indoors and at night. Furthermore, using AI technologies, the lens will choose the compensation characteristic for videography at focal lengths of 70 mm or less.

Durable design

By using various seals to prevent moisture/dust from entering the lens, plus a dirt and moisture-resistant fluorine coating on the front lens, this lens can be used in all weather conditions.

Compatible with many camera-specific features and functions
