the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC has already received positive feedback from users of the Sony E- and FUJIFILM X-mount versions. We have developed this lens for Nikon Z and CANON RF mounts to give Nikon and Canon users the same experience. Target audiences include beginners and intermediates who have purchased kit lenses, as well as those who have experienced the convenience of all-in-one Zoom lenses during the DSLR era.

Landscapes, snapshots, portraits, animals, birds

An all-in-one Zoom lens for all types of photography

The main feature of this lens is its wide 16.6x Zoom factor, the world's first1 for a mirrorless interchangeable lens in APS-C format when it was released in 2021. It covers a focal length range of 18-300mm2 and enables a wide range of photos from wide angle to super telephoto. In particular, this all-in-one Zoom with its 300mm super telephoto range is suitable for a variety of situations, from sweeping landscapes and everyday snapshots to portraits, animals, birds, sports and children's events. In addition, the weight is approx. 620 g and the filter diameter is φ67 mm - as with many of our mirrorless lens series. The compact design is ideal for traveling and hiking, and

the best-in-class VXD autofocus is fast and accurate, ideal for bird and wildlife photography

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC lens is a versatile Zoomlens with high speed, precision and responsiveness that puts
at the top of the all-in-one Zoomlens category. This is due in part to TAMRON's VXD linear motor focus mechanism. Even at the ultra-telephoto focal length of 300 mm, this lens offers comfortable focusing from the smallest distance to infinity. Focus tracking skillfully captures the decisive moments when photographing birds, animals, vehicles or other moving subjects as the lens group can be driven directly for focusing without a gearbox.The linear motor suppresses drive noise and is therefore ideal for taking photos and videos
in quiet environments.

The maximum magnification factor is 1:2, absolutely amazing for an all-in-one lens

In the 18 mm wide-angle range, the lens achieves an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15 m and a maximum magnification factor of 1:2. With an amazing working distance of 5 mm*, you can get as close as you want to your subject while capturing the background and achieving a photographic expression unique to wide-angle macro photography

*When shooting with an MOD of 0.15 m in the wide-angle range, the distance between the subject and the front tip of the lens is approximately 5 mm (0.2 inches). Make sure that the front element does not touch the subject when shooting with the MOD.

Uncompromising optical performance across the Zoomrange

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC offers outstanding resolution achieved through TAMRON's persistent pursuit of image quality excellence. The optical design incorporates several special lens elements, in particular four LD (Low Dispersion) and three hybrid aspherical lens elements. These elements help to produce clear, sharp images from the center to the corners. Chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations are well corrected. In addition, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating suppresses ghost images and stray light, which often occur in backlighting. Across the entire Zoom range
, the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC offers both high image quality and a soft, creamy bokeh.

TAMRON's proprietary VC supports telephoto and low-light shooting

This lens is equipped with TAMRON's proprietary VC mechanism to minimize the effects of camera shake that can occur at the telephoto end of the range. It demonstrates its performance when shooting hand-held in low light conditions such as indoors or at night. It effectively reduces the degradation of image quality. Using AI technologies, the lens selects the compensation characteristics for
videography at focal lengths of 70 mm or less.

AF/MF Switch and VC ON/OFF Switch for CANON RF mount

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC for Canon RF mount is equipped with an AF/MF switch and a VC ON/OFF switch. You can set the AF/MF switch for close-ups of flowers or table-top photos. You can also switch the VC switch on and off for hand-held or tripod shots. This allows flexible settings depending on the shooting situation and provides even more comfort and ease of use.
