December 8, 2011, Commack, New York ― Tamron Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of optical
equipment, announced the introduction of an exciting new lens, the 18-200mm
F/3.5-6.3 Di III[1] VC
(Model B011). The new high-power all-in-one
zoom lens is designed for the Sony mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera series.
Tamron, the zoom lens pioneer, brings 19 years of high-power zoom lens
development technologies to this new product. The lens will begin shipping in
the U.S. December 15, 2011.
With the 18-200mm Di III VC (Model B011), Tamron
has created a high-power all-in-one zoom lens that is compact and lightweight,
featuring a 62mm filter and weighing only 16.2 oz., while at the same time
delivering superlative image quality. This compact size lets users easily shoot
across an extended range - from wide-angle to full telephoto - with just one
lens. The focal length coverage is
18-200mm. Converted to the coverage of the 35mm format, this is equivalent to a
range of 27mm wide-angle up to 300mm full telephoto[2].
This allows the user to easily take wide-angle shots of expansive landscapes
and powerful telephoto images that enlarge the details of distant subjects—all
with one lens. In addition, by setting the lens at the telephoto end (200mm)
and moving in to the minimum focus distance of 19.6", flower petals,
jewelry and other small objects can be shot as expanded close-ups.
