Product Details / Description:

Renting the TAMRON 18-300mm provides Fujifilm users with unmatched flexibility for their entire trip to Japan. From sweeping temple grounds at 27mm to isolating distant mountains at 450mm, this single lens handles it all. Its strong stabilization and close-focusing power add further versatility.

About the Product

The optical construction features 19 elements in 15 groups, including specialized elements that correct aberrations across the extensive zoom range. The lens uses a variable maximum aperture from F3.5 at the wide end to F6.3 at the telephoto end. A key technical feature is the highly advanced VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) autofocus linear motor. This motor ensures rapid, precise, and quiet focusing, crucial for tracking subjects at the 450mm telephoto end. The lens is also equipped with VC (Vibration Compensation), which stabilizes the image, essential for maintaining sharpness at long focal lengths and during handheld shooting in lower light.

Furthermore, the lens offers remarkable close-up performance. At the 18mm wide-angle end, the minimum focusing distance is 0.15m, achieving a maximum magnification of 1:2 (half life-size). Note: The working distance at 0.15m is very close (approx. 5mm), so care must be taken not to touch the front element to the subject.

Key Features

• Massive Zoom Range for true all-in-one convenience
• Vibration Compensation (VC) for enhanced sharpness across the range
• VXD Linear Motor provides quick and quiet AF performance
• 1:2 Macro Ratio at the wide end for wide-angle close-up creativity
• Compact Body (125.8mm length) and low weight (620g) for travel
• 7-Blade Circular Aperture for smooth out-of-focus areas

Faqs:

What is the main advantage of a high-magnification zoom lens?

The single biggest advantage is the ability to cover an extremely wide range of subjects without changing lenses. This saves time, reduces the risk of dust on the sensor, and lightens your travel bag, making it ideal for sightseeing tours.

How does the VXD motor improve shooting at 450mm equivalent?

At extreme telephoto focal lengths, autofocus speed and precision are critical. The VXD linear motor provides extremely fast and accurate focus tracking, which is essential for locking onto and following distant or fast-moving subjects.

Is the 1:2 maximum magnification true macro?

While 1:2 is not 1:1 (true life-size macro), it is a highly impressive ratio for a zoom lens and is considered “half macro.” It allows you to fill the frame with small objects and is excellent for capturing close-up details that are often missed with standard lenses.

Why is there a zoom lock switch on this lens?

Due to the weight of the internal elements and the extended range, high-magnification zooms can sometimes suffer from “zoom creep” (the lens slowly extending when pointed down). The lock switch prevents this accidental extension during transit, ensuring the lens remains compact when not in use.

What does the 5mm working distance mean when shooting close-up?

The 5mm working distance means the front element of the lens is only 5mm away from the subject when achieving the 1:2 magnification at 18mm. This proximity requires careful setup to ensure your lens doesn’t cast a shadow on the subject or physically touch it.
