 Key Features

Optical Performance & Zoom Range

• Focal Length: 18–300 mm (equivalent to ~28.8–480 mm on Canon APS‑C bodies) — extremely broad zoom coverage from wide to telephoto.
• Zoom Ratio: Approx. 16.6× — one of the most expansive zoom ranges for APS‑C mirrorless lenses.
• Optical Construction: 19 elements in 15 groups with multiple low‑dispersion and hybrid aspherical elements to maintain sharpness and reduce aberrations.
• Filter Size: 67 mm – consistent with many TAMRON mirrorless lenses.

Autofocus & Stabilization

• VXD (Voice‑coil eXtreme‑torque Drive): Fast, precise and quiet linear autofocus — suitable for both stills and video.
• VC (Vibration Compensation): Built‑in optical stabilization helps reduce camera shake — especially useful at longer focal lengths and in low light.
• AF/MF & VC ON/OFF switches: Physical switches on the Canon RF version for easy control.

 Close‑Up & Macro Capability

• Minimum Focus Distance: 0.15 m (5.9 in) at the wide end.
• Maximum Magnification: Up to 1:2 (0.5×) — excellent for close‑up and macro‑style shooting without needing a dedicated macro lens.

 Additional Benefits

• Lightweight & Portable: Approx. 625 g — comfortable for day‑long shooting and travel.
• BBAR‑G2 Coating: Reduces ghosting and flare for cleaner contrast and colour — especially in backlit conditions.
• Moisture‑Resistant Construction: Helps protect the lens in outdoor environments.
