The Tamron SP 150-600mm G2 ultra-telephoto lens with upgraded optical performance enables handheld shooting with remarkable definition. This lens builds upon the success of the previous SP 150-600mm (Model A011) including better overall optical performance and faster AF speed, VC enhancements, plus Fluorine Coating, FLEX ZOOM LOCK and tele converter.Intuitive design plus cutting-edge performanceThe metal exterior of the SP 150-600mm G2 is a comfortable size and weight for handheld shooting. The focus and zoom rings, textured grip and Arca-Swiss style tripod interface enhance speed and utility. And like all SP models, this new lens has an ergonomic shape for easy gripping and a lens hood with smooth curves that match the barrel.Enhanced optics meet greater versatilityThe SP 150-600mm G2 includes three LD (Low Dispersion) lens elementswhich completely eliminate axial and transverse chromatic aberrations. It alsofeatures upgraded optical construction (21 elements in 13 groups).Anti-reflection technologies, eBAND (Extended Bandwidth and Angular-Dependency) Coating and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating improvelight transmission and suppress internal reflections, including light reflected offthe camera’s image sensors. So even when taking a backlit or semi-backlitphotograph, ghosting and flare caused by reflected light are fully eliminated. Additional enhancements expand the lens’s versatility. For example, MOD (Minimum Object Distance) has been reduced to 2.2m (86.6 in) so you can enjoy tele-macro photography and dramatic bokeh.Sharpness and accuracyThe Model A022 is equipped with a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) ring-type motor that delivers excellent responsiveness and control. AF speed is significantly improved from current model, and it enables accurate high-speed focus even when capturing moving subjects.Keep it steady with improved VCThe VC (Vibration Compensation) effectiveness isequivalent to 4.5 stops, based on imagestabilization performance levels established byCIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association)when using in VC MODE 3. SP 150-600mm G2has three types of VC modes.Flex Zoom LockFLEX ZOOM LOCK mechanism quickly locks or unlocks the zoom at any position simply by sliding the zoom ring. Photographers can shoot from any angle without the zoom extending unintentionally. Additionally, the conventional Zoom Lock switch prevents unwanted barrelextension during transportation.Fluorine Coating and Moisture-Resistant ConstructionThe front surface of the lens element is coatedwith a protective fluorine compound that is waterandoil-repellant. The lens surface is easier to wipeclean and is less vulnerable to the damagingeffects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints. For greater protection when shooting outdoors,leak-proof seals throughout the lens barrel helpprotect your equipment.1.4x Teleconverter TC-X14 The TC-X14 Teleconverter is designed exclusively for the Tamron SP 150-600mm Di VC USD G2 (Model A022) ultra-telephot

Digitally Integrated Design (Di), is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras.The Tamron 180mm f/3.5 Di employs an IF (Internal Focusing) system that maintains the overall length of the lens during focusing. It uses two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements that effectively compensate for chromatic aberration. Provides high-contrast, outstanding image quality and a soft out-of-focus background effect. Incorporates an AF/MF one touch switchover mechanism built into the focus ring(&). Super performance series provides high performance through outstanding design specifications. Features the new FEC (Filter Effect Control) function that enhances operational Polarizing Filter ease of use. The Filter Effect Control is designed to rotate the filter to the desired position while the hood is attached. This is accomplished by turning the FEC ring that in turn rotates the portion of the filter mount where the filter is mounted.
