Long and short zoom double
Tamron has unveiled two zoom lenses at different ends of the market; one super- wide and one super-long. The 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD fits Sony E-mount full- frame cameras, while the 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD is an ultra-telephoto Fujifilm APS-C cameras, next to the 17- 70mm f/2.8 and 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3. The all-new £1400/$1499 150-500mm lens is based on the Sony FE-mount version, and covers a full-frame equivalent focal length range of 225-750mm on an APS-C camera like the Fujifilm X-H2S. It’s equipped with Tamron’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism and vibration compensation mechanism. The £880/$699 20-40mm f/2.8 is a fast-aperture, ultra-wide to standard zoom – and is the smallest and lightest in its class at just 86.5mm/3.4in long and 365g/0.8lb in weight. This lens also uses the VXD AF system zoom lens for Fujifilm X Mount. This is the brand’s third lens for and can focus as close as 17cm/6.7in, making use of 12 elements in 11 groups with four LD (low dispersion), two GM
cameras, with a moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating on the front lens element. This lens is compatible with most Sony functions, including Fast
(glass-moulded aspherical) and a single hybrid aspherical element. It’s also compatible with Tamron Lens Utility software for firmware updates. The zoom has a 67mm filter size, the same as most Tamron lenses for mirrorless
Hybrid AF and Eye AF. transcontinenta.co.uk
